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.

Finish & Condition

• Original grey vitreous enamel exterior

• White enamel interior for maximum light reflection

• Cast iron gallery with original surface finish

• Partial surviving Mobilux factory labels to most shades

The enamel is clean and honest with light age-related wear consistent with service use. No structural damage.

These are strong, crisp examples.

Design Presence

With a 460mm diameter and deep industrial profile, this is a substantial pendant suitable for:

• Kitchen islands in period or industrial conversions

• Hospitality schemes

• High-ceilinged residential spaces

• Retail and gallery environments

• Commercial projects seeking authentic heritage fittings

Installed in multiples they create disciplined architectural rhythm. Individually they read as bold utilitarian statements.
