FROM Small Dole to the States, The Limehouse Lamp Company is producing lights for a new Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios in Florida.
The company, which is based at Mackley's Industrial Estate, will ship out 100 mainly oil lamp-style replicas for the ride at the Orlando-based theme park next week.
But with a client list that includes Liz Hurley, Ian Wright and George Michael the firm is no stranger to glitz and glamour.
Managing director Elliott Maurice said the lamps are similar to those seen at Hogwarts.
The studio wanted authenticity as the look and feel of its rides was paramount to what they were trying to achieve, he added.
The Limehouse Lamp Company, which is at the forefront of producing Edwardian, Victorian and Georgian lights, was sought out by the resort for the job.
The ride is currently being built and will form part of a new Harry potter themed environment called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
It is due to be unveiled next year.
