The aluminum shade pivots cleanly at the Bretford-stamped joint-its original mechanism-allowing the lamp head to be raised, lowered, and canted to suit a wide range of working positions. Both the column height and arm length are fully adjustable, shifting the lamp from a compact, low-working stance to a tall, overhead illumination point. The tripod legs expand to a broad, stable footprint, keeping the lamp balanced even when extended.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFounded in 1948, Bretford became a major Midwest manufacturer of industrial and institutional furnishings, producing durable steel carts, lighting, and adjustable equipment for schools, labs, drafting rooms, and photography studios. Bretford's adjustable lamps were used extensively in drafting studios, machine shops, and technical classrooms, valued for their rugged build and ease of repositioning.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows age-appropriate wear to the painted legs, scattered oxidation on metal surfaces, and finish wear to the shade, all consistent with long-term workshop use.
