A couple of weeks ago Justin bought one of these vintage industrial lights at Todmorden flea market.
As he turned to walk away someone who’d been standing next to him at the stall tapped him on the shoulder. He said that he had quite a collection of similar lamps at home, would he be interested in buying any more?
Yes!
He arrived the following week with a cardboard box full of these gorgeous vintage task lights. They’ve got such a great look – industrial & almost sculptural.
They’re well designed, robust and functional – and the grippers mean they’re very flexible with regards to positioning. Perfect in the kitchen, office, craft or sewing area. Anywhere you need a good, clear task light.
They look wonderful, I like that each one is different
Thanks for the post – the Gripper task lights are still manufactured and supplied by Briticent.
Whilst H&S now dictates that the 230V versions must have plastic handles, the traditional steel handle version is still available rated for low voltage use.
The Gripper is also one of the few remaining lighting products still manufactured here in the UK 🙂
