Europe’s largest selection of restored original vintage lighting for prop hire and purchase.

At skinflint we’ve amassed two decades of extensive knowledge and experience in vintage lighting and hire, providing props for films, TV productions, theatres, corporate hospitality, events, retail displays and exhibitions around the world.

With 200+ different lighting styles, and more than 5,000 pieces on our shelves ready for next-day dispatch, we have a wide and ever-changing range. From large runs of retro and elegant Czech glassware, through to industrial and military styles, iconic factory pendants, cargo ship bulkheads, machinist lights, converted fluorescents, one-off Art Deco chandeliers and more.

All of our lights are originals dating from the 1920s-1970s, salvaged and hand-restored by our lighting experts ensuring accurate detailing for your production.
