Make light work of reading with the Bankers Desk Light. A study in manufacturing and design expertise, the light is Original BTC’s take on the early twentieth century classic.

The epitome of form and function, the streamlined bone china shade is hand-cast at Original BTC’S Stoke-on-Trent factory, the brass base and details are precision-machined at the manufacturer’s Birmingham metalworks, and for the first time, the light is completed with patented LED technology courtesy of the Group’s LED lighting arm, Beadlight.

Bought by Original BTC in 2013, Oxfordshire-based Beadlight has been at the forefront of LED technology since its beginnings, designing, engineering and manufacturing the first ever low-heat, low-power LED reading light for commercial aircraft in 1997. ”Incorporating Beadlight technology into an Original BTC design for the first time is an exciting step for us and we’re delighted to combine Beadlight’s pedigree of engineering excellence and impeccable eco credentials with Original BTC’s manufacturing expertise and timeless aesthetic,” continued Peter.
