Is this a Flash - Studio - Safelight.?

[CMoore]

What is this thing i have here.?
It screws into a 120V light socket and has a small, round, push-button that triggers the light.
It also has those three "filters" of Red Green Yellow.
What is this.?
Thank You

That's a (very) budget "studio" flash. Probably sold under a few brand names. It also has a flash trigger so it will flash when another flash goes off. So, for example, you screw this into a clamp light then use a hot shoe mounted flash to trigger it.

Yes, it is a budget studio flash. But not only that.
It is a useful additional flash to substitute an incandescan lamp in a shaded luminaire.

I only know them from catalogs, never came one across.

Oh Wow.....OK.
Does this thing have any value or demand..... or should i simply offer it up in The Free section of the classifieds.?
Thanks
...even for Fee, it might not be worth the shipping.?

If it works it should be worth a few dollars. I've tried several of these for lighting small areas on interior shots. They don't last very long, all of mine have failed.

Hey Randy -
Thanks. I will just offer it for shipping cost.....no worries. I DID screw it in and the button fires it. Other than that, i have no idea.
Thanks Again
