G.E.C prismatic wall lights

Era: 1960s Origin: UK

Salvaged from a G.E.C electrics factory in Coventry, U.K, these prismatic glass wall lights started life in the 1960s. Originally designed for illuminating industrial mills, the prismatic glass lenses bring bright illumination to modern interiors. Now converted for use as wall lights, rodded and mounted to a galvanised steel enclosure. Great in rows illuminating circulation areas in bars and restaurants.

Origin: UK

Lighting design in the UK benefitted from a free market. Different companies were working at the same time, designing and producing similar products for the same market. Often with only slight differences in their style, they constantly upgraded and improved their original designs. The products we salvage come from the old industrial heartland of England. This area of the UK was once the boiler room of the British economy - from the potteries of Stoke, through the engineering works of Birmingham, to the wool, textile and cotton mills of Oldham and Manchester.

Restoration

At skinflint we are fascinated by different materials and the interesting patinas that develop on their surface over time. Celebrating each light’s age, authenticity and individual character, we restore wherever possible with a 'light touch'. Here, the foxed glass on the original prismatic glass lenses has been left. Meanwhile, behind the scenes you can rest assured your light is ready for modern-day use. Giving you a truly unique vintage light with a story.

Product details

Each light is supplied with a new screw (E27) lamp holder and rod.

Manufacturer: G.E.C

Established in London, in 1886 the General Electric Company were to become the largest electrical manufacturing organisation in the British Empire and lived up to their description of ‘Manufacturers of everything electrical’ throughout their 100 year history. During the mass industrialisation of the 1950s, GEC were often the supplier of choice for lighting the factories, workshops and mills of Britain with their huge range of light fixtures for every application.
