Available in Polished Brass or Satin Flemish finishes, these fixtures featured glass globes in diameters of 6, 8 and 10 inches.You can be sure these globes brightened many homes, restaurants and offices throughout the decade.
Here is a scan of the original catalog page featuring the Optilite series.

Primelite Manufacturing is proud to announce an update to our Interior Decorative Lighting Catalog, “B”. Our latest insert features four new and exciting series of interior lighting fixtures.
The Saucer Series features wall and ceiling fixtures based on the simple saucer shape. Ranging in sizes from 6″ to a magnificent 47″, all fixtures accept an Edison style silvertip bulb, available in both incandescent or LED.
We are especially excited to introduce a new line of LED fixtures, the Spider Series. Our “Spider” pendants offer clean modern lines with a smart and refreshing simplicity. Incorporating the LEDs as an integral part of the design, these chic fixtures are perfect in any modern home, industrial office space or modernly attired restaurant.
The Checkers Series of lighting fixtures was created with interior flair. These thin, steel fixtures bring a classic and classy elegance to many commercial situations including; commercial hallways, hotels, restaurants, etc. Available in incandescent or hardwired LED lamps.
Our Sputnik Series fixtures are reminiscent of the clean lines of the early space days, from a simple, 2 lamped adjustable fixture to our “Sputnik”, an eight armed sophistication of lines and lights. In contrast, “Cynthia” reworks those straight lines into a 45″ spheroid of circles and lights. And speaking of lights we highly recommend using an Edison style retro bulb as an appropriate accent for these fixtures.

#tbtPrimelite: Another blast from Primelite’s past! Today we’re again highlighting our “Juvenile Gems” selection of 1970s children’s globes. An earlier #tbt of children’s lights featured “Raggedy Ann” and clowns. This later 1970’s catalog introduced additional characters including the “Tin Man,” inspired by “The Wizard of Oz.” Our children’s lights were also now available as ceiling/hanging and desk lamps.
Primelite continued working with a local artist who hand painted each face/globe. The fixtures were then hand constructed and assembled in our warehouse. These fixtures were primarily used in children’s bedrooms and were popular throughout the ’70s decade.
