Color of knob is at times other than an indicator. Remember the past posts about LECO brand with their red
shutter knobs and possible for this given no catalogues published in brand.
National X-Ray company has a lot of catalogues on the net published, same
base concept. I only studied into my own
fixture, possibly one of their early beam projectors if they made them??? (Perhaps a re-study of their on-line catalogues in the later years.) First start to the
fixture that is appairently an early
beam projector and not a flood light where the lamp in other photos would be exposed. (More photos to show if wanted in having seen them.) There is a
shield over the lamp which prevents the flood of light, just not designed for the baffles that a normal
beam projector would have. Beam Light it was called, yep if
filament reflecor/
shield, it is a beam light persay in correct in not quite refined to
beam projector, or the second generation floodlight I thouht.
Look at the
gel frame assembly and
wire to support it, I'm thinking 30's
thru 50's in age for style.
I have a c.1911 National X-Ray company Floodlight and the texture paint on this light is at least not what was used by that company back than. Could have changed over the years, but at a start to conversation possibly not that brand, or could be. Have not counted size and amount of venting holes as often similar for a brand..
Note the three grometted holes for the grounded
fixture whip. Says age in perhaps later than earlier. Amazing still how similar the
beam projector is in style to a flood light that's just short of the
filament shield to it's design, but lacking that
baffle in later concept for a
beam projector.
Recently bought a Century
beam projector for instace... No idea of model or age for the most part of it in similar but shorter in length size normal. Know mine is going to be younger than this given the lack of baffles in refining the beam on the one above. Known date of when
Strand bought out Century at least for an end date to my
fixture, what is this
fixture? National X-Ray, probably not Kliegl, Century early model or someone else?
A real
beam projector is a
bit shorter than this beam light. This beam light is very similar to the c.1911 floodlight I have in length/depth. Only it has a
filament shield common to a
beam projector.
"Beam Light" possibly a new type of
fixture for the history books that was between the two generations of light? Who made this one?
