Thanks to a prop collector who owns one of the screen-used items I was able to identify the light used in DS9, most notably encased in O’Brien’s tool box. Woo hoo! I built O’Brien’s tool box once already and am working on a second more accurate one. This find is a totally fantastic one for my FAN-atic obsession with this prop container.
It’s a Sunpak CZ-200A video light. The battery used is an RB-55 6v. The screen used prop I had pictorial access to is Sony brand. The light I got has a Sunpak brand RB-55. While the light is somewhat difficult to find, the batteries and the chargers are very prevalent.
You can clearly see that the prop makers chopped off the back end off the light (the battery holder) and repositioned it with a little scratch building. I am also pretty sure they rewired the switch from the big orange button to a square switch on the neck of the prop light.
