Electric Conversion is the process of adapting antique lighting originally designed for candles, oil or gas to operate safely using modern electricity. When carried out professionally, the original appearance and historic integrity of the fitting are carefully preserved while discreetly incorporating modern wiring, lamp holders and electrical components that comply with current safety standards. Sympathetic electric conversion allows antique lighting to be enjoyed in contemporary homes without compromising its character. *Related Terms*\ Antique Lighting, Gas Conversion, Oil Lamp, Rewiring, Restoration, Safety Testing.
