Wanted to start this thread for some time now a thread that focuses on the identification and styles of
Lights that can be found in tiki bars.
Want to post not only lights from the tiki bars of old like Kahiki, Kon-tik and Trader Vic just to name a few but styles that new tiki light makers like myself have made.

The old Tiki light makers/ sellers.
The Sea & Jungle shop
Oceanic Arts
Orchids of Hawaii
Benson's Tropical Sea Imports
Roy Ell, the man who 'tiki-fied' The Alibi in the late 40's

If you have a light from one of these places or have made a light or new light style of your own that
You want to post this would be a good place for that.
Please add the style of light that it is and the maker if you know this information, also stuff like where it’s from, just any info you can about your light.
It may be that you don’t know and want to gain info about your light post it here and others may be able to shed some light on your light.

Sure there is info about these lights scattered about Tiki Central but not a one stop place to see all
Of the many styles there are / were.

I was lucky enough to find many Kahiki lights that I have yet to post on TC up close and will add those here too.

This will also help people wanting to make lights for their home bars as a guide of ideas to get you
Started.
