Salvaged 1950s CCP Naval Bulkhead Light with Holophane Glass
A proper naval bulkhead from the 1950s, salvaged from a decommissioned vessel and built to withstand life at sea.
The cast aluminium housing clamps around a thick Holophane-style prismatic glass lens, creating the distinctive ribbed appearance that made these fittings a staple of ships, dockyards and industrial facilities throughout the twentieth century. The glass isn't just decorative. Its precision moulded prisms were designed to spread light evenly while reducing glare, making these fittings both practical and beautiful.
Compact, heavy and reassuringly over-engineered, this is the sort of industrial lighting that modern reproductions struggle to replicate. Every hinge, latch and casting detail reflects an era when equipment was built to survive decades rather than seasons.
Wall mounted or ceiling mounted, it works equally well in hallways, kitchens, workshops, bathrooms, bars and commercial interiors.
