About the maker
Founded in the late 19th century in Manchester by electrical engineer John Dugdill, the company became known for producing durable, mechanically elegant lighting for workshops and factories across Britain. Their lamps were fitted to lathes, benches and machinery in vast numbers, yet each was built with a level of care that allowed it to withstand a lifetime of daily use.

Early Dugdills designs are distinguished by their signature rosette or cog tightening wheel, a clever joint mechanism that locks the lamp securely in any position. Customers could order their lamps in a range of finishes - painted, oxy‑copper, nickel‑plated or brass - giving even the most utilitarian fittings a touch of refinement.
