DELTA 882 RETIREMENT LIGHT SHADE AND LINKAGE ONLY
Full Description
NEW DELTA 882 WORK LIGHT
KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY AS A “RETIREMENT” LIGHT
THIS IS FOR THE SHADE AND LINKAGE ONLY!
Apparently, it got the nickname “retirement” light, because people have said that if they had known what they sell for now ..… they could have bought enough of them “back-in-the-day” to be retired by now.
These lights have been getting harder and harder to find, so we decided to reproduce the popular little work light, as an even better product than the original Delta light. Original Delta work lights were cast from a pewter-type metal and would become tarnished over time. The OEM linkage was zinc plated carbon steel and eventually would corrode. The light socket, switch, and cord on the original lights did not survive the 50-70 years of service expected of these neat little accessory lights that were originally offered in the 1940-1950 era.
Our #882 work light incorporates an investment cast fully polished stainless-steel shade, new polished stainless steel adjustable mounting linkage.
The lamp shade is an exact duplicate of the Delta shade, complete with mounting boss, setscrew hole at the socket entrance, and the 12 vent holes around the top of the shade.
The lamp is polished to a mirror-like finish!
The nylon insert lock nuts and button head cap screws in the linkage are 18-8 stainless steel. The set screw at the socket hole is also 18-8 stainless steel. The spacer at the center of the linkage is also polished stainless steel.

Reviews From the Shop Floor
I'm restoring an old Delta drill press and the original work light was missing the actual socket, switch, and cord. What I purchased is a great direct replacement and it seems quite high quality. I would recommend this seller to procure parts to restore your old machines. Worth the money. Good job!
