Originally designed for use in theatres and film studios, this mid-century Strand Electric spotlight is a superb example of British industrial design and craftsmanship. The heavy-duty aluminium casing features the iconic STRAND ELECTRIC branding on the back grille and houses the original convex lens, beautifully aged and functional.

The piece has been professionally rewired with a discreet black cable for modern use, making it suitable as a dramatic floor lamp in loft-style interiors, galleries, or creative studios.
