- Description
- Dull grey metal flood/spotlight used in studio settings for film-making or photography. The main body of the light is shaped like a small barrel - one end has a carved crystal bordered in thick cord and the other has a door that opens by pushing a small button in order to access the light bulb inside. The centre of the door features the Bardwell & McAlister Inc. logo. The barrel also has housing attached to the top and bottom - one contains a lever that, when pushed from side to side, moves the light bulb inside closer to or further from the crystal. Attached to the front on either side of the crystal are brackets where a filter can be fit; a Y-shaped support can be rotated 180 degrees and is adjusted by a handle on one side; an on/off switch sits in a raised metal bracket on one side, and near the switch the power cord feeds out of the barrel - the cord is wrapped in grey fabric and is coiled up and attached to the support with a short length of rope. Attached to the power cord is an orange fabric bag with a wire drawstring that contains a silver metal cylinder that could possibly be an attachment for the support.

- Two large round floodlights most likely used in studio settings. Each light consists of a large grey metal dome from the back of which extends a brown metal support that includes the power cord and a base to fit into a stand. A sticker with the manufacturer’s details is stuck to the supports. The power cords are standard black rubber cords with a plastic-cased switch fit into them, coiled in loops and held in place by short lengths of white rope. Both lights still have large opaque white light bulbs in them.
