Pattern 76 Acting Area Flood, 1000 Watt
This lantern, of completely new design, gives a controlled but adjustable narrow-angle vertical beam, and is therefore suitable for lighting acting areas, particularly in close proximity to cycloramas, sky cloths etc where spill light is not permissable. The design of the lantern is such that spill rings and their consequent loss of light are unnecessary.

SPECIFICATION :
The housing consists of aluminium spinnings attached to a central aluminium casting which carries the super pure anodised aluminium reflector and GES lampholder, the position of which is adjustable to give beam angles between 25° and 50°.
Affixed to the central casting are the swivel pins and locking plate for the tilting fork, which is fitted with a ½ inch Whitworth stem (for suspension) and eyelet for safety chain (not included). At the bottom of the lantern is a hinged door which carries the colour frame. Wired with 3 foor heat-resisting flexible tails. Finished black crystalline enamel outside, matt black inside. Supplied complete with one 11½-inch diameter metal colour frame.
