Buying lighting for your home,
garden or office is not simply about slapping something up that is
functional and bright, it's about style, warmth and suitability. For
many of us the lights we use say things about ourselves, they work
in harmony with the decor, the theme or the vibe of a space. Here at
ship lights I am trying to offer a wide range of products that
appeal to people who want something a little different. I don't sell
anything you would find in a DIY super store, ship lights (even my
reproduction ones) are quality pieces built to last. The original
ship lights I have sold some from an array of vessels. From pleasure
and cruise ships, cargo vessels, container carriers, ex-MOD ships and surplus
stores holding new old stock no longer needed. I check every light
when I get it, and check it again when I pack it. Sometimes they have
beens
restored with new fittings, although at times they come to me refurbished.
Often the lights still have old armoured cabling inside them
as it was simply hacked off, then the light was unscrewed and packed
away during the scrapping process. I remove all of this, I check the
condition, sometimes they need a polish or paint removed to free
threads etc. I like to believe by the time they leave me all they
need is a competent electrician to install them, and they would be
good for many years. I have supplied ship lights to people who are
renovating a property near the sea, to someone wanting something
different for a log cabin in the depths of the French countryside. I
have sold ships lights to developers working on restaurants and
bars, but most of my customers are homeowners, looking for something
with distinction and style, most of my customers I am sure, are
people like you. |
