This fully functional and adjustable British studio/theatre light was manufactured by the Strand Electric Company and imported to Canada in the 1960s/70s. This particular unit was
factory painted matt black and is newly mounted on a bare metal, American made Matthews stand. I have
modified the unit by converting it to household bulb use and added a Mole
Richardson support cradle with rope tie for cable storage. The collapsible, wheeled stand has been disassembled,
cleaned and polished and extends upward to a
height of 9ft. Strand movie lights are rarely found here with any
stand.
The fixture is illuminated via a new off/on toggle switch and
features an adjustable, aspherical glass lens which modifies its beam from spot to
flood. It has 4 movable interior baffles to control the light’s
intensity.
This fixture would compliment any interior whether
residential or commercial - it would make an ideal reading lamp or could
be used to highlight architectural features or artwork.
I have another identical unit painted in factory original metallic silver - either one, $525.
