Lighting
Choose the element of 'Lighting' above to link directly to that page after reading the introduction below. Introduction to Lighting Equipment As lighting is the original core product of William Sugg and clearly his 'passion' throughout his long career, it has been split into the sections described below, which you can select above. 'Burners' provides the story of the essence of achieving light from gas and the improvement that was achieved by different designs and developments. 'Street Lamps' were the first products for which gas was used and this section describes the development of the lamps - or 'lanterns' which went hand in hand with the burner developments and the demand for ever-increasing amounts of light. 'Columns & Brackets' are a striking product range in their own right with many both magnificent and decorative products surviving to the current day. 'Interior Lighting' has been given a separate section because it is in effect an entirely separate development. From open flames to incandescent mantles the products develop for the world of the interior and often mirror the style of the age. 'Ventilating Lamps' are an early and specific form of interior lighting which are essentially applied to commercial premises and large interior spaces and can occasionally still be found intact in old premises today. 'Traffic Signs' are another specialist application for gas lighting and act as a good reminder of the use of gas for items that do not come immediately to mind! 'Floodlights & Spotlights'. Another unlikely application for gas lighting - but it was done! 'Oil Hand Lamps' show a non gas product produced specifically for the railways that went all over the world.
