Starting out life as a weatherproof airport runway light, we sandblasted the aluminium housing for a soft, textured look then drilled and tapped the side bosses to accept the funky "Drama Faces" knobs that hold the light onto the custom built cradle. These rare "comedy / tragedy" knobs are the ubiquitous icons of the "drama" industry.
Completely rewired with a retro look, cloth covered cord and an all new electrical fixture, this is a new light in a vintage package. The light and cradle are attached to a vintage surveyor's tripod. While cleaning the base up, we carefully preserved the patina of age and wear. To keep the legs from splaying out, we wove a vintage leather strap through the tripod's adjustable legs. The leather strap was made supple by repeated hand rubbing with classic saddle soap.
The end result is without a doubt one of the funkiest lights that Puffin Design has ever crafted. As with all of our offerings this tripod light is 'one of a kind'. $699
