What is this lantern?

Clearing out the garage today, I uncovered 4 lanterns which I had forgotten about.

 

The best description I can think of is "a pinspot on steroids". I was wondering what the proper name is.

 

Conical shaped housing, with a cylindrical back. No external markings, but the yokes have Thomas stickers on them.

 

Fuse beside the cable entry.

 

The lamp is a PAR-64 size Sylvania unit, rated at 120W, 6V, and there is a fairly hefty transformer in the back of the unit. It has a very narrow beam, football-sized at 4-5m throw. Ideal for mirror balls etc.

 

Lettering on the lamp isn't clear, but it appears to say "PAR VNSP 120W 6V".

To get an idea of scale, that's a 19" ABS rack case that it's sitting on top of...
