Who would have thought that years down the line we'd all be sticking half a dozen tiny lights through holes in the ceiling instead! How times change...

@Versalift09 Yes and achieving lower efficiency lol

That's a nice design and the kind of counter balance idea seems quite ahead of its time. Its a very elegant method of mounting the tube and gives a great lesson for contemporary design - especially with materials being at a premium. I imagine its still very robust and well made?

What a great find this was! So I guess the Netaline has now been relegated? Still, you've got something even rarer and more unique up there now with half the power consumption!

I'm afraid the Netaline has at the moment, don't worry though, at some point I plan to swap it with the red one in the living room and put that one up over the other side of the room pointing the opposite way to the kitchen light. Is it just me that prefers this over the Mazda Netaline?

Just need to get the earlier one of these now with the slighty different mounting plate and starter lamp

@ Eliot, I much much more prefer this over the Netaline this is quite nice. and needs to stay there... This is in Great Condition, just Wow

"just need to get the earlier one of these now...." Jeez Eliot!!! You found the rocking horse (...), now you want the hen's teeth too!?!

LOL trust me, I will find hen's teeth!!! They did these in blue and white too!

And then we find out that Eliot has been BITTEN by a hen!

Nice looking fitting
