5 AMBIENT LIGHT ABOVE EIGHT DECADES IN THE MAKING The first Coolicon shade was produced in 1932 and publicly released in 1933, since then it has set the standard everywhere. It was the choice for lighting factories, workshops, mills and farm buildings during the industrialisation of the1930s; seen in the corridors of power in government and military offices during the 1940s. Churchill s War Rooms had one in the kitchen; and it was employed throughout many British institutions such as the early NHS hospitals, London Underground network and was seen throughout everyday life. For instance the Coolicon shade was used by Delia Derbyshire the creator of the Dr Who soundtrack for special effect while working at the BBC. DIRECTIONAL LIGHT BELOW Coolicon shades were specified through out Britain and quietly lit the way for generations thus finding its way into the collective hearts of a nation and beyond.
