Strand Patt. 23 Profile Spot

£10.00 / week

Full Description

The Pattern 23 was the first mass-produced theatre spotlight in the World. Die-cast by the 5000 for a market in which a gross (144) was thought to be an outsize batch, it was destined to run for thirty years.
Designed by Morgan McLeod.

The Pattern 23, 250/500 watt Baby Mirror Spotlight projects a clear cut beam of a profile determined by a mask . It is ideal for stage lighting from the Front of House and has many applications where stray light cannot be tolerated . It can even be used to project rudimentary cloud and other cut-out masks. Thousands of these lanterns have found a use in architectural lighting , in ballrooms, display and exhibition work, picture and poster lighting, etc.

OPTICAL DESIGN
Front and rear reflectors collect a large solid angle of light from the lamp and pass it through a gate of any desired shape, and an objective lens projects this as a clear cut beam of the same . profile as the gate . This arrangement produces a light output equivalent to two or three times the wattage of a normal spotlight.

BUILT-IN SHUTTERS
When the lantern will be required to project a variety of rectangular beam shapes, four independent gate shutters operated by means of external knobs may be fitted.

Manufactured between 1953 and 1983,
