Late Century Eastern Block Aluminium Searchlight and British Tripod Floor Lamp

A reclaimed retro industrial aluminium marine searchlight paired with a British telecom satellite tripod to create an exceptional large bespoke floor lamp.

The searchlight was originally used to illuminate the banks of the Suez Canal. It was manufactured in 1996 by Famor, a Polish company who specialize in the field of lighting for the marine industry. The aluminium tripod is a British Telecom satellite tripod used to site communications equipment, the legs extend a further one and half feet which makes this tripod and lamp pairing stand at 7 feet tall.

The lamp itself has a split beam function which turns the beam from a single 5 degree projection into 2 x 5 degree beams, this is operated by the lever centred on the back of the searchlight.
