Early Cast Iron Flameproof Industrial Pendant Lights by G.E.C
FLP No. 769 – Cat No. F16513 – Group III Certified
A small but exceptionally heavy-duty early industrial pendant light by G.E.C (General Electric Company), manufactured in England for hazardous environments.
These fittings are substantial cast iron examples, defined by their deeply ribbed radial housings and thick bolted flange construction. The body carries extensive raised casting details including:
-
G.E.C
-
MADE IN ENGLAND
-
FLP No. 769
-
Cat No. F16513
-
GROUP III
-
GROUP 1 & 2 CERT
The certification markings confirm their original specification for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, where flameproof integrity was essential. The multi-bolt construction and heavy sectional casting are typical of early FLP-rated fittings built for mining, industrial plant and specialist infrastructure.
The lower section houses a thick clear heavy glass enclosure, designed to fully protect the lamp within while allowing strong light transmission. The silhouette is compact but dense — a true engineered object rather than a decorative fitting.
Presented here in unrestored condition, showing honest surface oxidation and original industrial character.
