$250
ABOUT
Original green industrial pendant light. This classic warehouse shade features a glossy forest green enameled porcelain exterior and a high-reflectivity white enameled porcelain interior. Original maker's sticker near the rim.
During the mid-20th century, Benjamin engineered specific diameters for targeted light dispersion. The 14-inch version was the quintessential all-purpose layout—widely installed in medium-ceiling facilities, workshops, and gas station service bays because it provided a perfect balance of broad lighting coverage and downward focus.
