Does anyone here remember an old Sci Fi series called 'SPACE:1999'? Produced by Gerry Anderson in the mid seventies and starring Martin Landau and Barbara Bain? Here's the sort of thing...
Moonbase Alpha in all it's glory.
With all the futuristic paraphernalia in each scene it is easy to miss a prop for what it is, but even as a kid I recognised this for what it was.
It is used as their version of a hypo, for all futuristic injections are made with light, it would seem.
But this is not one of the props that a designer laboured long and hard over - in fact you could buy them in any medical suppliers (in those days)
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you The Twinlite (manufactured by Eschmann in England)
Here it is next to my EDC for comparison (ARMYTEK PRIME C1 PRO-BTW)
It is made of brass and chromed to within an inch of it's life - a very attractive little light. Gotta love those old lensed PR bulbs. Feeding it lithium primary AA cells at the moment - Dr. Russell would have approved!
BTW - the perspex tip is one of two you get with it - this pointy one is known as the Auro-Nasal Illuminator (Which reminds me, I must get around to disinfecting mine!)
