Hey, everyone! Over in the “Ceiling Fans” section of the forum, I made a thread for the fans I saw at Indiana Beach, so here is the thread for the vintage lighting I saw. The park was originally built in the 20s, and has been added onto ever since. A lot of the buildings were seldom remodeled, so there are a lot of cool 50s and 60s buildings pretty much completely original. Anyway, here is the vintage lighting I saw (mostly fluorescent 
) :
In a game room called “Fascination,” there were these pure awesome 50s fluorescent strip lights. Each fixture could hold four bulbs, even though only about three fixtures actually had all 4 bulbs working. I got a few looks while I was taking these, but it was worth it. There were two rows of fixtures in the room. This particular fixture only has three bulbs lit:
Different angle:
The row on the right of the store:
I know this is off topic, but look at the awesome 50s PA speakers in there!
The clothes store next to Fascination had similar fixtures, but these looked a little newer (60s) and held two bulbs in each fixture:
Both Fascination and this store each had two of these really neat 50s wall lights; the two in Fascination weren’t on, so I took a picture of the one in the clothes store that was on :
Next, in the guest services building, they had these cool 4-bulb fixtures :
Lastly, in the entranceway of the entire park, they had this old 60s fluorescent light with a neat cover. It had bug lights in it:
And that’s about it. Enjoy!
