Extra Large Benjamin “Mobilux” Grey Enamel Industrial Pendant
Benjamin Electric Ltd – Mobilux Dispersive Reflector
England – Mid 20th Century
A documented example of the Benjamin Electric “Mobilux” Dispersive Reflector, finished in original grey vitreous enamel with white interior.
These are true industrial lighting fittings — not decorative reproductions — manufactured for high-output tungsten lamps in heavy industrial and commercial environments. The form appears in original Benjamin catalogue literature under the Mobilux Dispersive range, designed to provide controlled downward distribution with defined cut-off.
The cast iron galleries retain clear raised Benjamin Electric Ltd markings and model references. Most shades retain partially intact original Mobilux labels — an increasingly rare survival detail.
At 460mm diameter, these sit firmly in the architectural scale category.
