Applications

The ellipsoidal reflector spotlight — the "Leko" — is the workhorse fixture of theatrical and stage lighting. It produces a hard-edged, precisely shaped beam that can be focused, resized, and sculpted with shutter blades, making it the standard tool for front-of-house key lighting, gobo projection, and beam shaping on stage. Century Lighting was one of the pioneering American manufacturers of professional stage lighting equipment, and the Lekolite dates from the mid-twentieth century era when ellipsoidals were becoming the dominant fixture in Broadway, regional theatre, and television studio lighting rigs. Vintage Century Lighting fixtures like this Lekolite are actively sought by theatre companies maintaining legacy rigs, by prop and set designers for period productions, and by collectors of classic stage lighting equipment. They accept standard T/H (tungsten-halogen) and incandescent stage lamps, and the basic ellipsoidal design has remained fundamentally unchanged — making these older fixtures still fully usable with modern lamp types.
