Early Cinema Metal Halide Studio Lamp Prototype, Mid-Century Kliegl Bros ON SALE

About the Item

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: This Antique May Qualify For Our GALLERY WIDE ~EXTRA~ 10-25% OFF SALE, Going On NOW. Please Inquire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Offered for your consideration, this Mid-Century Kliegl Brothers metal halide light source HMI light fixture on a Stand. HMI lights were invented in the late-mid 20th century and this appears to be Kliegl's effort in producing this type of powerful cinema light source. They never captured this new market so probably produced very few, if any of these. Kliegl Brothers was founded in 1896 and was a leading stage and cinema lighting manufacturer until 1990 when they closed. The unit has no serial number and just says: "HMI" where the serial number would go. This leads us to believe that this was a prototype, as we have never seen this model previously. Several choices of stands are available to the buyer. The fixture is in like new condition and it is sold electrified with a vintage glowing filament lamp. The fixture can be focused for a spot or flood illumination pattern in your space. The original HMI function is not working as the high UV output is not suitable for display use. This Classic cinema light fixture offers a unique look for display and would be the pride of any collection. “Like artifacts of an ancient civilization - these rare legends of early Motion Picture and related production equipment technology - have a secure and appreciating place in history.” About Our Firm: We specialize in CERTIFIED cinema equipment antiques and artifacts circa 1900 to 1969 and beyond, representing the Art Nouveau, Machine Age, Art Deco, Industrial Age and Mid Century Periods.

NOTE Due to the nature of online photo reproduction we cannot be responsible for exact photographic color, hue, contrast and flash and non flash exposure accuracy in our photos. While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color tone and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern! Your inquiries are welcomed on this matter. NOTE: In the interest of antique presentation and historical accuracy, we do not alter or modify our electrical, optical, mechanical or electronic antiques, with the exception of some vintage light fixtures (which we DO correctly convert internally to modern electrical working household standards).
