THIS IS FOR 2 TWO. Matching Pair Golde Rotochrome spotlight lamp. These theatrical piece features a six color wheel, and adjacent glass lens.
Makers mark plaque to back. Good to Excellent UN-restored working condition. One is missing a heat shield piece on the top SEE PICS. Everything works as it should and it just looks cool and super retro, Steam Punk.
All color panels in good condition. Unit probably dates from the 1940's and has cloth wiring for internal electrical connections. There is FLAKING of the original paint finish as it contains a 500 watt projection bulb and beware it does run hot.
This light fixture was produced by the Golde Manufacturing Co. Chicago, Illinois and built for theaters auto showrooms and display work.
It was not intended as a consumer item and was a commercial product. A small precision timing motor spins at 3RPM and rotates six different panels (comprised of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple) casting each light in turn on whichever direction the fixture is aimed. The base swivels and the angle of the light can be adjusted as well. In addition there is an adjustment lever on the back of the unit that adjusts the beam width.
The colored panels in the wheel are very deep and the projected color is intense and lustrous. This lamp will make a fantastic accent piece and add a colorful element to any room or holiday display the lamp measures 13 t x 10.5 l x 7 w. I also measured the current draw and be advised that it draws 4 Amps, These did not have power switches, so it's plug and go.
If you intend to put this in regular service I would highly recommend that you have an expert in these type of classic vintage lights go over it fully to preserve your investment and safety. 8.0" W x 13.25" H x 12.0 D.
