The Original Plastic Streetlight Globes

Formed Plastics' proprietary line of lighting products was launched in the early 1960s when our local utility asked for help in dealing with widespread vandalism of its glass streetlight globes. Formed Plastics responded by developing a nearly unbreakable plastic globe and the utility was thrilled with the results. Before long, utilities, municipalities, property-management companies, shopping malls, and even homeowners nationwide were interested in purchasing Formed Plastics' unbreakable plastic globes. This innovation was largely responsible for the 2011 induction of our founder, Thomas J. Long, into the Plastics Hall of Fame.
