Wow galvanised fittings wtf!
|
|
|||
That's a brilliant idea no rusting there! Where and what is this cool place?
|
|
|||
These are likely either a Thorn build for another company (I have some GEC SRS fittings that were actually Thorn made) or someone has been buying Thorn (BLI / TEI) components for use in their own fittings.
|
|
|||
This fitting came from the same place and shares some near enough identical details and construction techniques. Kev's said it's a Courtney Pope, so these could be Courtney Pope also? If that's right then as you say they must have bought the BLI ballasts in
|
|
|||
And presumably the lampholders too. Thorn did sell parts to others to use, earlier with no makers label on the control gear, but later 'exports' tended to be marked SB ' Smart & Brown'
|
|
|||
Ahh yes I have some SB branded ballasts that are obviously Thorn. So Courtney Pope probably just bolted this fixture together using other manufacturers parts? I wonder if they did the steelwork forming and galvanising, or if that was outsourced too?
|
|
|||
It's possible the fabrication of the steelwork was done by themselves, along with assembly. Could well be they just lacked the experience / plant to make the actual control gear....
