credenda

Credenda Conduits Co. Ltd.
Oldbury
Birmingham


Appears to have produced lanterns for various authorities under contract: the Glasgow, Huddersfield and Johannesburg lanterns being examples. The Glasgow lantern was to original designs by the Glasgow Corporation: see Ward and Mann.

Were also making asymmetrical lanterns (either with dome refractors and/or reflectors) and developed an interesting asymmetrical two-way reflector for attaching to conical open-type reflector fittings (which are described as "still in use in very large numbers.")

They also produced pole brackets.

Merged with Simplex Conduits in 1932 to form Simplex Electric Company. The Credenda name continued with their range of Creda domestic cookers.
