The Prismatic Collection
Welcome
Growing up in the heart of rural Britain, we were surrounded by the kind of lighting that never
goes out of style. From Victorian streets and Georgian townhouses to country cottages and old workshops, these traditional British lighting designs became part of the places people
loved most. Even as everything around them changed, they always seemed to belong. It
was this simple idea that became the starting point of Old School Electric.

Your Questions Answered.
What style of lighting does Old School Electric specialise in?
At Old school electric, we deign classic and traditional lighting inspired by Britain’s industrial
and architectural heritage. Within our collection you’ll find timeless pendant lighting, beautiful
wall lights, traditional bathroom lights and outdoor lighting. Our collection fits period styles
such as Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian and Art Deco. They also help to bring a little more
character to a modern home. Whatever your style, our lights are designed to feel like they've
always belonged.
What makes Old School Electric different?
Every Old School Electric light is designed here in the UK with timeless style, quality
materials and everyday practicality in mind. Inspired by heritage lighting, our collection keeps
the character of traditional designs while leaving behind unnecessary fuss, creating clean,
classic lights that suit both period and modern homes. As a family-run business, we're proud
to offer friendly, honest advice alongside fair prices and lighting that's built to last.
Will Old School Electric lights look authentic in Georgian and Victorian properties?
Yes, Old School Electric lights were designed with Georgian and Victorian properties in
mind. Our pendants and wall lights come with opal glass and prismatic glass shades in a
variety of classic shapes. We also have many period inspired finishes to match with period
details, like our antique brass finish or our dark bronze finish that has the same patina as
antique fixings.
Are Old School Electric Lights suitable for modern homes?
Absolutely. Timeless lighting isn't just for period properties. Our collection works just as well
in modern homes, where classic shapes and quality materials bring warmth and character
without feeling old-fashioned. Every light is made to modern safety standards, with our
bathroom lights rated IP44 or above and our outdoor lighting rated IP64 for dependable
everyday use.
Why is traditional lighting becoming popular again?
We think that traditional lighting has always been popular, but more people are choosing
homes filled with lasting quality rather than passing trends, and traditional lighting offers
exactly that. It's timeless, full of character and easy to live with, making it just as at home in a
contemporary extension as it is in a country cottage or period renovation.
Can the Old School Electric team help me choose the right lighting?
Of course. Choosing lighting isn't always straightforward, and we're here to make it easier.
Whether you'd like advice on finishes, sizing, installation or choosing the right light for your
space, our friendly team is always happy to help. Just give us a call or send
