The story
Strand Electric of London built the Patt 23 in large numbers for British theatres, schools and touring companies. Its small size and sharp beam made it a favourite with lighting crews, who called it the “Pig Nose” after its protruding lens tube.
The restoration
We rewired the spotlight and paired it with a wooden photography tripod, another tool built to aim light, here given a second life as a lamp base.
In your interior
The wide height range suits rooms with high ceilings, lofts and studios. The warm wood softens the industrial look.
