1940 Vintage RARE Industrial Holophane Triple Glass Sub Station Lights -

About the Item

Incredible set of Holophane pendants, rewired, holds a regular incandescent or led bulb with full CSA approval. Most of these types are found in HYDRO sub stations and rarely come to market. a rare opportunity to get a group of lights like this . WE HAVE 12 LIGHTS . To meet the growing demand for efficient lighting UK company Holophane began to manufacture prismatic glass pretty much at the birth of electricity. Prismatic shades operate by breaking up and spreading the beam of light into a myriad of beams using prisms, making a lower voltage bulb a much more effective light source, perfect for the early days of electricity. As a result Holophane lights were frequently used in Curches, as street-lights and to illuminate factories with lights such as this Paint-works light from the 1950's (easy to spot the age due to the degraded aluminium, all the good stuff had been used in WW2).
