This fluorescent light can be considered the most massive lamp within our collection. Its cast-iron casket combined with a caged centimeter-thick glass hood, gives it an extremely industrial look. The fluorescent fixture was mainly used in areas occupying heavy machinery. The lamp is manufactured by Electrotechnik Oberweimar (EOW), a state-owned company specialized in explosion-proof lighting.

ORIGIN
The fixture has been salvaged from an old brewery in Berlin. For over a hundred years it was the source of one of the city’s top beers. Unfortunately the brewery went bankrupt as a result of the German reunification in 1989. Since then it has been abandoned.

RESTORATION
All our lights are restored by hand with the greatest care. As unique piece of heritage, we seek to preserve the light’s authentic appearance. We present the lamp in it’s original finish, or re-finish the light in it’s original color. The lamp has been completely rewired to current standards, and fully assembled and tested to European Legislation, We hope that it may be preserved for many centuries to come.
