Default light

Hi

It doesn't look like a spotlight to me, the lens appears to be frosty ? Is that just dirt or has it got that way from age . The way it is, the light would be diffused rather than focused ?

The way lights work, is a whole science on its own, with the shape of the reflector and the lens dynamics affecting focal length and width . Mike

I,m even more troubled now!! So has anyone ever seen anything like this. I think the frosting is from manufacture and it has a lot of dirt as well. But I'm still

You haven't got a stage light have you Col? Not that that would be a problem. Given that you have a .....stage!!

My bet is either a marine deck work light, garden/building/monument display light or as mentioned, a stage light.

Hmm! I was hoping someone would say it came off the Bismark or Derwent or something like that. I can take closer pics if you like!
