About the Item

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: This Antique May Qualify For Our GALLERY WIDE ~EXTRA~ 10-25% OFF SALE, Going On NOW. Please Inquire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted for your consideration, is this Extremely Rare circa 1950 Hollywood Studio Diffused ~Cone Light~ with Original factory paint, some paint losses on interior white reflector diffuse surfaces. This huge light fixture was a special light in Hollywood and very few were made. Soft diffusion light fixtures were a new concept in the 1950s but this technique has since grown to be a standard for modern cinematographers. This is the original of the modern ~Soft Light~ fixture made to put out 5000 watts of tungsten light from a huge glass light bulb that is included for display. A very early serial number makes it even more collectible. All colors and finishes are factory correct. This fixture exists EXACTLY as it did in the early 1950s. ALL original with original 5000 watt capacity power cable, original 50s bulb, and original paint. Looks great in an Industrial or old 'tech' motif home or office and is newly electrified with remote on off switch. Ready to set up for your display purposes. Factory correct rolling light stand included. Stand will bring light up from 7 feet to approximately 12 feet plus. We never sell lights on incorrect fake new wood or metal tripods. Light were never used on tripods, only on real riser articulated metal light stands. You will not find another like this one. Based on our research, this rare piece is the only one to exist anywhere. ~Like artifacts of an ancient civilization - these rare legends of early Motion Picture and related production equipment technology - have a secure and appreciating place in history.~ NOTE: Our selling prices are usually pre discounted and intended to be at 'Designer Net' and 'To The Trade' price levels. However, we ALWAYS welcome discussions and exploration of your budgetary requirements and how we MAY be able to help meet those cost targets with ADDITIONAL discounts or courtesies.
