Lights/Lighting: A G.E.C. Industrial Flame Proof Pendant Flood Light 1940’s 63cm high by 47cm diameter These beautifully refined lights were made by British manufacturer G.E.C and salvaged from the old de-commissioned Rolls Royce factory in Derby in the UK. An example of classic British lighting design. The light is made up of a substantial three-part polished aluminium enclosure with its original flameproof glass lens and an impressive number of manufacturers details cast into the metal emphasising the heritage of the light. Now fully refurbished and re wired for use as a pendant light. Established in London, in 1886 the General Electrical Company were to become the largest electrical manufacturing organisation in the British Empire and lived up to their description of Manufactures of everything electrical, throughout their 100 year history. During the mass industrialisation of the 1950’s, GEC were often the supplier of choice for lighting the factories, workshops and mills of Britain with their huge range of light fixtures for every application. Rolls Royce built its Nightingale Road site to move production of the Silver Ghost car to Derby from Manchester in 1908. It later became synonymous with the Merlin engine, which powered the Lancaster Bomber, the Spitfire and the Mustang. These lights would have been in use during that ere to illuminate the factory floor for the workforce
