Manufacturers of Incandescent Fittings c1900

[sue23]

I am curious as to which companies where involved in the manufacturing of incandescent fittings c1900.
At a quick glance, I can only find references to Edison and Swan United Electric Company which was formed in 1883, and PIFCO (Provincial Incandescent Fittings Co) in 1900.

In the 1901 census, a relative is noted as being a 'Maker of Incandescent Fittings'. They are residing in Bramley, West Leeds.

Anyone know of any links or resources to industry in Leeds in the late 1890's- 1900's?

Cheers,
Sue

Sue -you wrote some time ago about incandescent fittings companies referring to a relative in Bramley.  I also had a relative in Leeds making incandescent fittings connected to Pifco - any connection?

Just a thought but it may not relate to electrical gittings at all - it may be an incandescent gas mantle.
