The Original Plastic Streetlight Globes  
Formed Plastics' proprietary line of lighting products was launched in the early 1960s when our local utility asked for help in dealing with widespread vandalism of its glass streetlight globes. Formed Plastics responded by developing a nearly unbreakable plastic globe and the utility was thrilled with the results. Before long, utilities, municipalities, property-management companies, shopping malls, and even homeowners nationwide were interesting in purchasing Formed Plastics unbreakable plastic globes. This innovation was largely responsible for the 2011 induction of our founder, Thomas J. Long, into the Plastics Hall of Fame.

The methods we use to produce our lighting products have changed with technological advances over the years, but a traditional sense of pride and insistence on quality has remained the same. Since our lighting products can be found in every major city in the country, they have by far the greatest visibility of anything we produce -- so we always make sure that they look great!

To help keep shipping costs low for our customers around the country, many of our lighting products are kept in stock at both our New York plant and our Ohio warehouse.
