About the Item

A vintage Industrial flameproof ceiling striplight / tube light made by Wittenburg of Germany. Originally designed for hazardous areas in factories and on cargo ships. The build is of the highest quality and extremely robust made borosilicate glass and cast aluminium end sections. Reclaimed, rewired and repurposed by hand in the UK by Loomlight ready for installation into modern interiors. Specifications: Height 23cm Width 17cm Length 95cm Weight 12kg Bulb: 2x T8 LED Tubes These tube lights are supplied with a 12 month warranty. This ceiling light has a built-in isolator switch which disconnects the light from the power source when changing the tubes. This can be found in the tri-bracket found on the end of the unit, which also acts as a handy switch. To operate this you simply turn the bracket anti-clockwise. Cast aluminium end caps connect with steel bars and a flameproof glass tube. We have converted the bracket to allow ceiling hanging with chains. All lights are professionally re-wired in-house to exceed British standards using CE approved components. Dimensions and weights are approximate. For all orders to USA, UL listed bulb holders and 100v bulbs will be fitted. All lights are sold ready for use in your home or commercial installation.

1970s German Cast Metal Explosion Proof Strip Light with Glass and Steel Shade
By Leuchtenbau Wittenberg
Located in Leicester, Leicestershire
German flame proof strip light with shades / glass guard. An extremely substantial statement piece modified by our team and ready to install commercially or at home. These lights are a real example of vintage Industrial lighting that you just don't see these days, in fact it would have been impossible to buy these back when they where manufactured for Nato vessels and hazardous environments. Original item salvaged from supertankers and military vessels then stripped and refinished in the UK. The original wiring is replaced with our Loomlight wiring system which exceeds the original specification and also conforms to British standards. All of our tube lights are supplied with a 12 month warranty as standard. The main body is cast aluminium and the tube is formed from glass which is appx 1/2 inch thick and is also flame proof.  There are serial numbers and makers marks throughout. The two brackets on the top are where you would connect the chain, installation would require two ceiling hooks, or it can be wall-mounted, they look great when mounted vertically and the IP55 rating makes them suitable for bathrooms, kitchens wet zones etc. These lights work really well above pool / Snooker tables...
