Product Details
Description
A RARE BRITISH THEATRE LIGHT BY THE MAJOR EQUIPMENT CO LTD
Originally manufactured during the 1950's in London, NW10
We were very lucky to acquire a few of these lights direct from a West End London Theatre.
They were used for many years, lighting up famous musicals such as the king and I, my fair lady, hello dolly and the great waltz.
The light has been superbly engineered and features an alloy ventilated body, 360 degree rotation, and an internal anodized reflector.
The spot light has been professionally restored to a bright mirror finish.
The light represents a unique and rare piece of industrial design history.
Theatre light dimensions:
Length 35cms, Width 25cms, Height 24cms
The Light provides a beam spread for feature, architectural lighting and showing specific objects such as a work of art.
The Light is presented on a handmade classic wooden tripod.
The tripod features height adjustable legs with rich detailed fittings.
The height range is adjustable from 75 cm's to 170 cm's and is ideal for all floor types.
The light has been professionally re-wired with 3 core quality silk braided vintage style lighting flex and fitted with a high quality CE approved inline foot dimmer switch.
The dimmer switch allows for the light to be turned on or off with the press of a button, or to change the brightness from a warm glow to bright spot light with the sliding control.
The dimmer also features a night location neon indicator.
The light has been converted for home or office use and takes regular household light bulbs up to 300 watts, we also had a deluxe vintage style Bakelite plug fitted (BS1363/A).
This light has been fully pat tested by a certified tester for electrical safety and meets with the current British safety requirements.
The light is a rare and original British Industrial design classic.
