This Berkey Italia spotlight still carries the tag of its last employer, Dutch public broadcaster N.O.S. We left the housing exactly as the studio returned it: worn, marked and full of character. It now stands on a Manfrotto aluminium studio stand.

The story
Berkey Italia produced studio lighting under licence for Mole Richardson, the Hollywood name behind the Fresnel film light. Units like this lit the sets of Dutch television, where a soft, even beam and adjustable barndoors were daily tools.
The restoration
Technical only: new wiring and an E27 fitting, so it takes any LED or standard bulb. The surface, the switch and the tag are original.
In your interior
For buyers who prefer a piece that shows its age. It suits an industrial loft, a bar or restaurant, or a home cinema.
The photos show two of these spotlights; the price is for one lamp. Ships in two boxes (spotlight and stand); collection in Heino possible.
