#tbtPrimelite: Chrome was a major interior design feature during the 1980’s. Taking notice Primelite Mfg introduced their “Modern – By Primelite” chrome lighting series. Incorporating chrome fixtures and white globe lights, “Modern” was indeed Primelite’s most “modern” lighting series. While the clean, stark and modern look was very popular, Primelite introduced some color into all this starkness. Primelite’s collection included Lucite shades available in color; Blue, Green, Amber, Red and Smoke.
“LED. The Final Frontier. These Are the Voyages of our new Satellite Pendant. Its Mission. To Boldly Brighten Where no Sputnik has Illuminated Before”
Primelite takes a space trip back in time this week to introduce our new satellite inspired pendant, “Sputnik”, #70/12-8. Launched along with our latest catalog update, the fixtures in our Sputnik Series are reminiscent of the clean lines of the early space days, from a simple, 2-lamped adjustable fixture to our own “Sputnik”, an 8-armed sophistication of lines and lights.
Perfect for restaurants, hotels, conference rooms, etc., Sputnik is sure to bring a sophisticated lightness to any commercial space. Further enhance its simple elegance with the addition of Edison style retro LED bulbs. For your convenience, Primelite offers the option of including these LED lamps with your order, for an additional price.

This week’s #tbt trip is through our 1980s catalogs, highlighting our selection of metallic ceiling lights. Along with the turquoise, dusty pinks and seafoam greens of the day, metallics were the perfect accents to the decades modern decor. Our lights were available in a selection of metallic finishes, including gold, copper, brass and silver/chrome. When mixed with clear bulbs, these fixtures brought a sparkle and shine to any room.
This weeks featured fixture is the LED wall sconce #705-03 LED20. Our fixture is perfect for both residential and commercial installations. It adds a classically pleasant wash of light to any interior surface with its dimmable LED20 (2 x LED10). Bring an elegant sparkle to restaurant interiors, hotel hallways, grand home dining, anywhere a glimmer of glamour is welcome.
The fixture can be easily customized with your choice of 29 powder coated colors (see color chart). Metallic finishes, chrome and brass, are also available.
This week’s #tbt is another trip through our 1970s catalogs, highlighting our selection of exterior globes. Designed for placement atop our collection of exterior posts, Primelite’s globes weren’t, and still aren’t, all round! Primelite offered glass and polycarbonate globes in clear, smoked, white and Orange!! (Actually amber, but it sure looks orange!) And aside from the round globes, we also offered globes in unique and molded glass shapes. In fact, Primelite still offers a wide selection of exterior, and interior globes, many of which are still not round!
Primelite Mfg is proud to introduce a new addition to our LED catalog, the Bollard #5332 LED20. Our bollard is perfect for commercial and municipal situations, such as parks, walkways, campuses, public spaces, anywhere a low, non-distracting source of light is needed.
Constructed of aluminum, our lantern topped bollards include opal acrylic lenses and 2 x 10 watt LEDs. Standard height is 39″, but can be customized as needed. Finishes available in 29 powder coated colors.
This week we’re #tbt-ing additional lighting from our Victorian “Gaslamp by Primelite” series. Featured in a Primelite’s 1970s catalog, these fixtures reflected the last century’s fascination with Victorian styling. Our Gaslamps captured the spirit, and feeling, of the old-time lighting. Updated with modern materials and finishes, the series was available in Old English Brass, Antique Gold, Antique White, as well in special antique finishes. The Gaslamp series featured old-skool glass globes and shades in updated colors. You can be sure these Gaslamps brightened many homes, restaurants, offices, dens and basement playrooms.
