About the Item

'The Wigan' is no generic bulkhead light but a specialist cast aluminium industrial wall fixture, originally made by Heyes & Co Ltd of Wigan, Lancashire, England. Heyes were renowned for explosion-proof industrial fittings, and “The Wigan” shows up in their catalogs as a heavy cast metal bulkhead designed for harsh environments—chemical plants, power stations and ship lighting. The multiple patent markings confirm its flame-proof credentials; Heyes secured those patents to guarantee a dust- and vapour-tight enclosure, vital where combustible gases or powders were handled. Examples have been reclaimed worldwide from decommissioned ships, hospitals, chemical works and power stations, but the brand’s origins lie in Wigan’s industrial heyday. After decades “in the field,” these cast-aluminium bodies and prismatic lenses are now prized for their authentic industrial charm and robust build. All lights are professionally restored and re-wired in-house to exceed British Standards using CE approved components. Dimensions and weights are approximate. For all orders to USA, UL listed components will be fitted. All lights are sold ready for use in your home or commercial installation.
