About the Item

Reclaimed Heavy Industrial Flameproof Bulkhead Light Fittings By Holophane 4 Available at the time of listing Priced Individually Small and robust bulkhead lights removed from a military complex in Scotland. The stunning Art Deco inspired lights are were made in England circa 1920 by Holophane. Named"HOLOPHANE WIDERLITE BULKHEAD" in the Holophane brochures. These heavy duty bulkhead fitting are constructed from cast iron bodies and trademark Holophane prismatic glass, the glass is smooth on the outside with the prisms moulded to the interior of the glass. The linear glass prisms also have a frosted "VELVET" finish, the prismatic lenses are designed to give a wide lateral spread to the light rays perfectly suited to the areas these were originally designed for in ships, corridors, subways and stores. The catalogue snippet shows later cast aluminium versions of the light circa 1950. Available in two sizes, these being the smaller we also have 30+ available of the larger version recovered from the same site. The light fittings have been professionally renovated, the original external finish has been maintained to display the wonderful patina from years of industrial use. Internally the electric components have all been updated with certified fittings and can be rewired with a cable of choice. There is a single cable entry point on the fitting allowing to be hardwired with 20mm steel conduit if required. WHAT IS A BULKHEAD LIGHT FITTING Vintage bulkhead light fittings were originally designed for use in ships, boats and other marine vessels, but have since become a popular choice for industrial and coastal-inspired home interiors. These lights are known for their rugged construction, durability, and watertight sealing, making them an ideal choice for outdoor and marine environments. Vintage bulkhead lights typically feature a heavy-duty metal casing that is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and exposure to saltwater. The lights are also fitted with a thick glass lens that helps to protect the bulb and diffuses the light, creating a soft, even glow. In addition to their practical qualities, vintage bulkhead lights are also highly sought after for their unique aesthetic qualities. The rugged, industrial design of these lights makes them a popular choice for use in modern and industrial-style home interiors. They are often paired with other vintage and reclaimed furnishings to create a cohesive and visually striking look. Whether you are looking for a durable and practical lighting solution for outdoor or marine environments, or you simply appreciate the unique aesthetic qualities of vintage industrial design, vintage bulkhead lights are a versatile and attractive choice.
