Description from the seller
Rare vintage industrial pendant lamp – Hellux AG Hannover – HLX – Germany, circa 1925–1940
Special industrial pendant lamp from the German manufacturer Hellux AG of Hannover, recognizable by the HLX monogram directly struck into the cast metal top section.
This characteristic lamp features a robust cast metal top piece and a gray-blue enameled steel reflector. The interior of the lampshade is white enameled, reflecting the light downward optimally.
The lamp is fitted with an old porcelain E40 socket, suitable for heavy industrial lighting from the first half of the 20th century. The E40 socket is retained, but adapted with an adapter for lamps with an E27 fitting.
Specifications:
Manufacturer: Hellux AG, Hannover, Germany
Brand: HLX, cast into the metal top section
Period: probably circa 1925–1940
Material: cast metal and enameled steel
Fitting: old porcelain E40 socket with adapter to E27
Lamp shade diameter: 36 cm
Total height: 48 cm

Condition:
Authentic vintage condition with visible signs of aging and characteristic patina. The original industrial look is preserved.

A characterful collector’s item for enthusiasts of German industrial design, vintage factory lighting, and historic design illumination. A special addition to an industrial interior, loft, or a collection of historic lighting.
About Hellux AG:
Hellux was a German manufacturer of technical and industrial lighting, with history dating back to 1895. The company produced, among other things, workshop lighting, factory lamps and technical fixtures.
The original company was founded in 1895 in Hannover for lighting equipment (under the brand Hellux). Since 1973 the location has moved to Laatzen near Hannover. Hellux International GmbH changed its name in 2016 to LUNUX GmbH, after acquiring, among other things, activities of HELLA Industries.
