Vtg Abolite 16" White Porcelain Industrial Pendant Ceiling Barn Light -- 4 avail:
$139.95

Complete, original, and refurbished 1960s-vintage, 16"-diameter, white porcelain "barn" or "gas station" lights made by Abolite, a major U.S. manufacturer of industrial lights back in the day. This listing begins with 4 matched fixtures available, priced individually, each measuring 16" diameter and 11" tall. These are in excellent vintage condition, with a few small chips or tiny rust spots appropriate to their age as shown in the photos where the shades are rotated 180 degrees to show all surfaces. These fixtures have 4 vents in the neck -- necessary for cooling the high-wattage incandescent light bulbs once used in them. Today, those vents serve to elegantly spill light -- a feature not seen in all vintage porcelain fixtures.

We've included 3 feet of new twisted cloth-covered wiring to give you plenty of flexibility in how far the fixture hangs from your ceiling (as wired, the bottom rim of the fixture can hang anywhere in a range from 12" to 35" from the ceiling. For an absolutely rock-solid, aesthetically pleasing installation, each fixture hangs by a 5"-diameter sturdy black steel canopy. To make this an easy install for you or your electrician, we include everything required down to the electrical wire nuts.

The original Abolite sockets are in outstanding condition, and much more substantial than what you can buy today. They hold any regular household light bulb, including LED as well as the popular vintage-style bulbs so widely available these days. We've replaced three gaskets within the socket assembly with new, high-temperature, machine-cut gaskets for many more years of safe operation.

Buy with confidence knowing that all of our vintage industrial light fixtures are:
*Refurbished to the highest standards. We carefully disassemble each fixture down to the smallest screw, then refurbish each part. For example, all electrical contact surfaces are cleaned and restored, threaded surfaces are "chased" with taps and dies, and lubricants applied sparingly where needed. We keep the fixtures fully original, only replacing parts when corrosion or safety concerns dictate a new part, such as a new stainless steel screw in place of an old rusted one, or a new, nitrile rubber-cork gasket in place of an old asbestos one. Each fixture is rewired and ready to hang.
*Restored and preserved to retain their natural and intrinsic vintage look.We don't "wring the romance" from fixtures by excessively removing all traces of patina. Instead, metal surfaces are cleaned lightly but completely while preserving the natural patina gained over decades. The parts are then treated to retain the patina and prevent future corrosion. Glass is cleaned thoroughly. Porcelain surfaces are cleaned gently and thoroughly, then buffed to restore their original luster.
*Tested and guaranteed to work perfectly. Before any fixture leaves our workshop it is tested to ensure it works properly. Please check our flawless response.
*Packaged extremely well for safe arrival and shipped within 24 hours. We've shipped vintage light fixtures all over the world with zero damage incidents. That's because we use plenty of quality packing materials, and know through years of experience how to pack. Our packing practices meet or exceed the standards established by FedEx, UPS, and USPS.
