About the Item

RECLAIMED HEAVY INDUSTRIAL FLAMEPROOF BULKHEAD LIGHT FITTINGS. These mammoth 12kg bulkheads ooze quality! designed for the most extreme of industrial settings. Made in England circa 1940 by The General Electric Co Ltd. 15mm thick "Armour Plate" front glass and heavy cast iron body allowed these fitting to be installed in extreme environments and were often found in military facilities where volatile chemicals and fuels were stored. With a brutalist design the bulkheads are a simple shape with nice casting details identifying the makers marks G.E.C and other details related to the function of the fittings "FLP" their cat number "F65034" Made in England by The General Electric Co Ltd and "FOR CELLULOSE INDUSTRIES LAMP MUST NOT EXCEED 60 WATTS" The fittings are mounted to the wall via two fixing straps which allow the light to be mounted flat with the wall or at 45 degrees to the wall which creates a very effective feature when installed in a run / row. The light fittings have been professionally renovated and the metal has been stripped back to back to emphasis the casting details and then refinished with a protective metal treatment resulting the deep grey malleable iron coating which also preserves the base metal. Internally the electric components have all been updated with certified fittings and can be rewired with a cable of choice. There are three cable entry points on the fitting even allowing to be hardwired with 20 / 25mm steel conduit if required. When renovating our original reclaimed lighting all existing electrical parts are removed and renewed with modern electrical components. All components used are CE certified and our lights are wired & tested in line with BSEN Standards. As standard our lights come with 1m of our premium fabric three core cable to a colour of your choice unless stated otherwise in the product description. Generally, ES or BS lamp holders are used unless otherwise stated and are fully compatible with main dimmers and modern LED filament bulbs. Our lights can be wired to bespoke specifications, longer lengths, different cable types and compatibility with specialist dimming systems such as DALI can all be accommodated. Lights supplied to U.S.A and Canada are installed using UL Certified cable and lamp holders. As standard we supply round black fabric cable and E26 holders. Please note that although we use UL certified components our original reclaimed lights do not come with UL certification. Due to the antique nature of our original vintage lights, we cannot offer an official IP rating and cannot guarantee our lights for external use.
