Powell and Hanmer


 Powell and Hanmer started a company in 1885 to make lighting equipment, their products included carbide and acetylene lamps for bicycles and later motorcycles and cars. They also manufactured various motorcycle accessories, bulb horns, mirrors etc. In 1914 a second factory was opened to build electrical components. They must have worked well because in 1929 Lucas bought the company, to eliminate a competitor.
