Luma, Glasgow : Information + Images
Former Luma Lamp Factory, Glasgow by Cornelius Armour
Former Factory
Date built: 1938
Status: listed Grade B
Location: Shieldhall Rd
The building is dominated by an 84ft conning tower clearly visible
from the M8 skirting to the south. The clean white forms are redolent
of Thirties Modernism which surfaced rarely in Scotland relative to
Western Europe. The Luma factory was converted a few years ago to
housing - details soon.
The building was built to manufacture of electric lamps; it was finished
simultaneously with the Empire Exhibition in Bellahouston Park.
Luma was built by a joint venture of the Wholesale Societies of Scotland
and Sweden, later the British Luma Cooperative Lamp Company.
Buildings close by include House
for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park and Ibrox
Stadium in Govan.
