skinflint Ltd

We don’t make lights, we find them. skinflint is Europe’s leading vintage lighting site. We source, salvage and stop vintage lights going to landfill. It’s a purpose we were born with and it’s how we became a certified B Corp in 2021. Our lights are originals from the 1920s-1970s, salvaged from fascinating locations around the world - from shipbreakers’ yards in Gujarat to the Rolls-Royce factory in Derby and abandoned glassworks outside Budapest, to name a few… Each light has a story to tell, reclaimed and restored by UK-based lighting experts – then carefully rebuilt and tested by hand and approved by the LIA, to give you a truly individual light with real character, ready for modern use. Discover iconic vintage lighting brands, including Revo, Holophane, Benjamin Electric and G.E.C - all known for their dedicated craftsmanship and pivotal contribution to industrial purpose. From Hungarian railway ceiling lights and German cargo ship wall lights, to Eastern Bloc machinists table lights and Czech pendants - our reclaimed vintage lights are all unique pieces, all expertly for faultless functionality.
