Vintage & Reclaimed Lighting

The best reclaimed light brings more than its form into a room. It carries provenance and it gives an interior a story that can’t be ordered from a catalogue. Trainspotters began in 2005 with thousands of factory pendants salvaged from Fort Dunlop and the Rover plant in Birmingham. Finding a new life for remarkable working lights has been at the heart of the business ever since.

Our Vintage & Reclaimed Lighting collection ranges from robust factory pieces to expressive glass. The Vintage Dunlop Pendant Light speaks to our beginnings; the Vintage Elektrosvit White Pendant Light and Vintage Maxlume Green Enamel Downlighter Pendant bring distinct industrial forms. For a different mood, explore the Vintage Falks Globes or Vintage Cut Glass Globe Pendants.

Our reclaimed lights are restored and rewired in our own workshop, ready to start their next chapter. Each has its own visual character, so you can choose a quiet period detail or make the light the centre of attention. For customers across the UK, this is a way to bring genuine history into a space without treating it like a museum piece.

We restore and rewire reclaimed lights in our own workshop. They're supplied assembled and tested to CE and BS EN 60598.
