Ever have something you’d find hard to give up?
This handsome Bantam Super Spot is by far one of the coolest and hardest movie studio/theatre lights to acquire, especially with the optional extension at the back. Comprised of mild steel and aluminum, it was fabricated in the late 30’s and was primarily used as a theatre light.
Generally mounted on a very short metal base, I have placed this particular unit on a fully adjustable, wheeled, collapsible, extendable (to 9ft) 1950’s Mole Richardson stand stenciled with the name “ADS Studios” - a prominent commercial art and film studio that thrived during Toronto’s 60’s and 70’s mad men era.
The lamp illuminates a standard, clear 60w bulb turning off and on via a new click switch. Although not native to the fixture, I have mounted a circular grill to the front as it nicely compliments the wire cage located on its top which, when opened, provides access to the bulb inside. It also features a push/pull lever at the rear which allows adjustment from spot to floodlight intensity.
To be honest, this one is a rarity and a keeper so I don’t mind if I don’t sell it.
But if you like it as much as I do, it can be yours for $750.
Now located in downtown Belleville. Free delivery to any Belleville address.
