Vintage Paragon Focus-Spot Photographic Enlarger Shade

Ripe for upcycling or re-purposing, this shade from a Paragon Focus-Spot Universal Enlarger offers a distinctive shape, a cool black and white interior and aluminium exterior colour scheme, and a retaining rod ready for clamping to a stand or suspending to form a new light fixture. The shade features its original label and at the end of the retaining rod the holder takes a standard bayonet bulb. Overall, the shade has very appealing signs of age and use for that industrial or minimalist look.

The shade measures approximately 24cm (9½ in.) in length with an opening of approximately 20cm (8 in.). The retaining rod allows the bulb holder to be positioned along a length of approximately 8cm (3 in.) inside the shade and is held in place via three small knurled screws at the rear of the shade. The lamp will require rewiring and safety-checked in whatever form it is used.
