Iconic 1950’s Movie Studio Spot/floodlight

Just completed professional restoration of 65 year old, fully functional, totally adjustable, American made VARI•BEAM flood/spotlight. Comes replete with 6 inch Fresnel lens and levers allowing beam to adjust from narrow to wide (spot to flood). Unit is comprised of steel, aluminum and brass components and is mounted on the original, extendible (to 9ft.) chromed, wheeled stand.
Fixture was completely disassembled, stripped to bare metal, polished then converted to 60 watt household bulb and reassembled. The VARI•BEAM brand (still in existence) was manufactured by Photogenic Machine Co. of Ohio. This unit turns off and on via a heavy duty, encased in aluminum 50’s era flick switch.
Ideal reading light or for highlighting art or architectural features.
Ornate and handsome piece - $750
