Robert Bosch opened his workshop for precision mechanics in Stuttgart in 1886. By 1914 the company had expanded into vehicle generators and lighting equipment, becoming one of Germany's leading suppliers of electrical and lighting gear for vehicles, industry and eventually the military. Eisemann-Werke, a separate German manufacturer known for its own magnetos and portable electrical equipment, later became part of the Bosch group, which is why equipment of this kind can carry both names.

The fixture carries a raw, rusty patina earned through decades of outdoor working life rather than applied in a workshop. It has been mounted on its original Bosch metal tripod, keeping the original mounting system intact, and the original switch on the spotlight housing still functions.

The spotlight measures 32 x 20 x 28 cm. Mounted on the tripod, the total height adjusts from 140 to 175 cm. The fixture has been professionally rewired and fitted with an E14 socket, and an LED bulb is included. This piece has an attribution mark,
