OTHER FEATURES AND RESTORATION


During restoration, the lamps are disassembled into individual parts, cleaned and tested for function. Old paint residues were removed, missing parts replaced. The metal parts are then brushed and polished to a matte finish. The electrical system is completely renewed. A conversion to contemporary LED tubes we make on request at no extra charge.
These lamps were used to light workshops, offices and functional rooms. The central body for the ballast is made of die-cast aluminum. The robust construction and solid materials testify to the high esteem in which electric lighting was held at that time. Accordingly, the materials used prove to be resistant and durable. The large number of individual parts, their simple assembly and disassembly originate from a production method that is rarely practiced today.
