‘CLULITE’ CLU1 Manufactured in the UK

Recently we were contacted by a member of the public Ian Jalowiecki who had been having some tiling renovation work done on his roof.

To the surprise of the contractor who was carrying out the repairs (Edward Smith as seen in the picture on the right) came across a  Clulite CLU1 torch in the enclosed roof  space of an extension during tile renovation work.  This space is separate (walled-off) from the main attic space and not usually accessible. It is believed that the extension was built in the early 80’s. 

Edward  was so intrigued on his find that he decided to  plug the torch in to see if it was still working after all the time spent up in the roof space, and was surprised to find that it still worked.

When Ian asked us if we would like to have the torch to put with our heritage products collection, we jumped at the chance of having it back to see how old it was.

The condition of the torch was fantastic and to our surprise it had the original battery in it so we could see that it was over 25 years old. Both bulbs still intact and still working well and shining bright!

The CLU1 was a very popular model that we began manufacturing and selling over 50 years ago.  We still get asked today to service these torches from customers who still use them.

Testimonials

  • Doug Forsyth

    Praise.  A big thank you to Connor. I broke the lens on my trusty torch and was unable to determine which lens I needed from the website.  One phone call and an
    email later, all sorted. Just arrived with the other bits I ordered.  Very happy customer. 

  • Toby Garrand (customer)

    Just a little note to say, a MASSIVE thank you for the excellent customer support. I am delighted with the response I got. I’ll sing your praises, and place an order for a torch next week. Not only because I like torches, but to support a top quality, British company. Thank you.
