A TV production where atmosphere, grit and period authenticity all mattered.

Project Overview

John Moncrieff supplied custom glass shades and lighting components for Peaky Blinders, supporting the creation of industrial, early 20th-century environments across the series.

This was not a standard lighting supply project. The production required fittings that reflected the darker, more utilitarian aesthetic of the period, while still working effectively on camera.

This project demonstrates where specialist supply creates real value: bespoke glass lighting components that reinforce atmosphere, character and visual storytelling in period television.

Scope of Supply

• Custom glass shades for industrial-style lighting
• Specialist components for period and heritage fittings
• Glass elements selected for tone and visual impact
• Support for set design and prop departments

Why This Project Matters

In a series like Peaky Blinders, lighting is central to the mood. The darker tones, shadows and industrial character of the environments rely heavily on the right fittings.

Period accuracy still matters, but the visual style is different — less polished, more functional, and aligned with the working environments of the time.

The right lighting solution supports both — delivering authenticity while enhancing the distinctive visual identity of the series.

Quote from the Project
