Crompton

Please note that the date code system employed by Guiseley-made lamps ran from 01 - 96 on a two-yearly cycle, with 01 - 48 being for even years, and 49 - 96 being for odd years; therefore, exact dates for lamps made at this factory are not known.

Clear 'Permalife' lamp with bayonet cap and 68 mm envelope (Guiseley, UK). These lamps were specially made following an order by Jeremy:

"In 1997 I approached Crompton about having an 80 mm bulb Permalife made , a Permalife Derby 100 if you like. They couldn't do the big 80 mm bulbs anymore by then, but they offered a 68 mm bulb, still used on crown silvers, 150 Watt lamps and various rough service bulbs. I dealt with a very helpful chap called John Walton and they did me 50 x 60 Watt lamps in a 68 mm bulb. I visited the factory at Guiseley ( now closed down - Crompton make very few lamps themselves anymore ) and saw them being made."

Clear 'Permalife' lamp with bayonet cap (Guiseley, UK)
