Thanks very much, that's very interesting! That means the lamps were at least more than twice as old as the artist they were illuminating. Here's a pic of the three fixtures in use recently... http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/martindudley/nbfoct2009_271009PortsmouthGuildhal.jpg vbm
Me too! I have a man onto sourcing the bulbs or a similar/equivalent replacement, and if he can't find them, I'm confident nobody can. Thanks for the info.
Hi BRers- Thanks for all the info. Here is a rubbish camera phone photo of one of the units I have acquired- http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/martindudley/major.jpg That's an original, working 750W bulb. I have three of these lanterns that I am renovating to take out on tour and would be very interested to know what they're called, their age and any other history. Cheers, vbm
Hi BRers... Can anybody tell me anything about the (I suspect, long-defunct) theatrical lighting manufacturers "The Major Equipment Co Ltd", based in London NW10? Thanks, vbm.
