The story
Berkey Italia built studio lights for Mole Richardson, whose Fresnel spotlights defined the look of film and television from the 1930s onward. This unit worked under the hot studio lights of Dutch television before it came to our workshop.
The restoration
We rewired the spotlight for a standard bulb and kept everything else as found: the patina, the dents, the lens and the switch.
In your interior
The light metal tone makes this the softest-looking of our Berkey spotlights, at home in a light loft, a studio or a creative office.
