Luma, Glasgow : Information + Images
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.
