Vintage Movie Light

Take One!!! 

Humphrey Bogart enters stage right and saunters up to Kate Hepburn..."here's looking at you kid" he says 'Cut.... that's a wrap' yells the director.

I'm not saying that this vintage movie light was used on a Bogart movie but it could have been.  These old motion picture lights reek of action and the romance of the big screen.  Manufactured by Bardwell and McAllister Inc. of Burbank California, this light has the original 'Fresnel' lens that amplifies the adjustable light source.  The housing has a funky serial number tag that identifies it as belonging to the 'State of Washington' at one time.  The light comes complete with the original tripod that falls into the 'steam punk chic' genre.  This light system makes for wonderful background illumination which brightens up or highlights even the darkest area of you house or business.  In fact, we have it in our formal entrance which was a little dark.  As you can imagine, it is an instant conversation starter with guests.  

Basically in original vintage condition except that the antiquated- and unbelievably bright (and hot) electrical system has been completely replaced with a more user friendly 110 volt system, complete with an energy efficient fluorescent light and retro cloth covered cord.  If you are looking for a unique floor light, this may be the one.  It is certainly one of our favorites $399.

Ships Light

This light is hard to ignore. 300 watts of brilliance filtered through a huge amber lens that is a foot across. Starting out life as a ship's search light made by the venerable "Crouse Hinds" company, one can only imagine the adventures this light has illuminated.  Mounted on a customized - well seasoned and heavy duty surveyor's tripod, this substantial lighting unit is very stable on virtually any surface.  The electrical components are all new and sport a retro - cloth covered cord and Bakelite plug.  Although it can be used indoors, this light may be best suited for poolside, yard or a deck.
