Preserving Mid 20th Century History With Antique Lighting Options

At the beginning of the 1930s a shift from industrial lights which hung over individual workbenches began to be replaced by its newly designed replacement, which became known as RLM Warehouse Shades. Due to its popularity several manufacturing companies began to produce this highly effective warehouse, factory light that used its uniquely original design to deliver a wide span of light. Companies such as Benjamin®, Crouse-Hinds, Appleton, and the Miller Company created differing variations to the traditional design that catered to different demands; some creating explosion proof versions for differing applications.Benjamin Gooseneck Light

Barn Light Electric Vintage Industrial Cloth Cord Pendants

Reviving The Nostalgia Of Vintage Industrial Work Lighting

Barn-Light-Electric-Vintage-Industrial-Cloth-Cord-Pendants.png

The lighting in factories and manufacturing facilities of the early 1900’s was simplistic and functional, based primarily on low hanging trouble lights with protective wire guards that encased the bulb. This raw, simplistic design enabled a large amount of atmospheric lighting to spill out over workbenches and assembly lines in these industrial settings. With the development of traditional warehouse RLM lighting in the 1930’s, these typical lights were ultimately phased out in many facilities for reflective warehouse shades. In a sweeping attempt to recapture the simplistic nature of the Second Industrial Revolution, many homeowners and designers are turning to the minimalistic lights of the past to bring a unique retro personality to their projects. Reflecting this simplified mantra, the latest line of Vintage Industrial Ceiling Lighting captures the stripped down appearance of factory lighting that predates the great depression. Outfitted with a stem or twisted cotton cord, the lights in this section provide a rustic alternative to many of the mass-produced contemporary lights on the market. Used to highlight displays or supply ornamental decoration, the utility of these lights often leads to creative placement and uses. Whether outfitted with a wire cage or bare socket these vintage reproductions capture the spirit of the Industrial Era, delivering a touch of nostalgia with unique simple styling.

Turning Up The Heat On Ordinary Warming Lights

Don’t let those bulky or cheaply made commercial heat lamps tarnish the stylish atmosphere that you have worked so hard to create for your restaurant. Many owners, in an attempt to cut costs, choose basic food warmer lamps that relay a bland message to their customers. One mistake that countless restaurant owners commit is to clutter a visible prep or display table with an inferior low-grade lighting fixture, this lack of attention often makes a difference between receiving a 3 or 5 star rating. Until now most warming lights were treated as utility fixtures, with little attention paid to the possibilities that could be achieved aesthetically with these high profile shades. Manufactured with the same durable American made quality as our warehouse lights, our Barn Light Electric Commercial Food Warming Pendants combine style and function together in a fully customizable package.
