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.
I love this! Perfect for a movie lover, or a movie director, or could be fun in a media room!
