The story
The Patt 123 is one of Strand Electric's best-known theatre spotlights, nicknamed the "egg" for its rounded aluminium body. Strand produced it in London between 1950 and 1968, and it lit stages in theatres, schools and studios across Britain.
The restoration
The spotlight was fully restored, polished and rewired with an E27 fitting, approx. 3 m of cord, an inline switch and an EU plug. The surveying tripod has a fixed height, giving the lamp a total height of 173 cm. Signs of its working life on stage remain visible.
In your interior
Fully adjustable in direction, it gives warm, focused light in a living room, loft, restaurant, studio or shop, and brings real theatre history into the interior. A statement piece for interior designers and lovers of stage and film lighting.
