HISTORY
This iconic example of British design was made by the Strand Electric lighting company in their Covent Garden works in London's west end. The Strand spotlight - also known as the 'baby spot' was one of the workhorses of the theater industry from the 1950s to the 1980s.
Gandolfi was a British manufacturer based in London, a company which have made large format cameras in the traditional style using wood and brass for many years.
