Wall mounted industrial lights by benjamin circa 1950s - vitreous grey enamel shades - curved steel wall arms - takes b22 fitting bulbs - original foil badges - wires directly into the wall - made by benjamin - english ~ 1950s - 44cm tall x 54cm deep x 36cm wide benjamin the benjamin electric manufacturing company was founded reuben benjamin in chicago, illinois, filing its first patent in 1898. The company opened a base in england, as the benjamin electric ltd, in 1908, in rosebery avenue, islington. Bearing in mind that thomas alva edison had only demonstrated the first working light bulb 29 years previously, it’s fair to suggest that they were at the vanguard of industrial lighting. Benjamin electric decamped from london, n1, a decade later, when demand outgrew their facilities, to, of all places, london n17: tottenham, at brantwood road, not a vast leap from white hart lane.during the second world war, despite the factory being bombed, they produced lighting for planes and airstrips. The brantwood plant was afterwards rebuilt and expanded, to encompass state-of-the-art laboratory, engineering, administrative and design offices, assembly plant, canteen and social club. By 1960 the company employed 600 people. Condition report re wired with modern electrical components, some chips to the enamel in places
