TRON Flynn's Lamp

[Wakeem]

I need some help finding out the brand of Flynn's lamp in the opening scenes of TRON. I searched and it seems like no one's discussed it yet. I haven't been able to find anything on the Internet either. I've been trying to find this lamp off and on for a long time but since I'm a member now I thought I would ask. Here are some screencaps from the anniversary DVD. The lamp is to the right of Flynn in the first pic and the left in the second. I hope this in the correct section. I have my fingers crossed that some company is still making the design...Appreciate the help!

Since I am a HUGE Tron fan and I love leaded glas lamps, I too would like to know. It seams it is a similar shade to these lamps but with a different base:

There were 2 manufacturers of leaded and overlay shades, Louis Comfort Tiffany and HJ Peters Company. Seems that Peters & Company is a better match.

Thanks for these companies. I'll check them out. That base is a big part of the cool design.

Just bumping to see if anyone else has any idea about the brand of this lamp. Maybe I should have put this in the "Screen Used" section...

I have a friend in CA who has a lot of very rare images from his Tron archive. However, he's very stubborn when it comes to sharing stuff. He was going to send me a bunch of CDs with all these awesome production images and rare videos and interviews from '82 but he ended up decided against it.

Anyways, about a year ago while browsing through his collection of production images (when they were briefly online), there were a lot of really awesome pics of Flynn's room, including some ref pics of the lamp, IIRC. If you want, I can try to contact him and see if I can get some images.

I think I've found an ebay listing for a lamp with the same base (completely different shade, though). What do you think?

Good thing I bumped the thread!

Please ask. Maybe he changed his mind. If just for Flynn's room and the lamp.

That lamp figure looks exact. The base seems a bit different near the bottom however. Actually looking at the HD cap and the lamp does look exact. Maybe my screencap's ratio is messed up. What's the auction url? I won't bid since you found it first. I just want the details so I can find another.

Thanks for the HD caps. It helps.

It's a nice looking lamp. But finding the shade might prove more difficult - there are a lot of art-deco designs that look similar.

Anyone ever find the correct lampshade?

Nope not yet. I haven't found the brand of lamp either. But I haven't been searching for a while. I'm trying to streamline how I go about getting things.

After a year of searching, I happened to go to the RoseBowl Swap meet today and as I was walking around I found THE LAMP

Here it is. I have to find the correct lamp base but the shade has been almost impossible to find...

Nice. Good luck on finding the base.

Thanks Philip! I am already on the hunt! :lol

Set it up with a temporary base until I get the accurate one...

[Wakeem]

Is there a brand anywhere on the lamp shade?

I didn't give up looking but I'm swamped with stuff. Trying to clear everything up by the end of the 1st quarter. It's cool that you found the shade.

That Chinese seller seems to believe that the whole lamp is from Tiffany. But I bet they are just trying to make a sell seeing that they are selling a reproduction.

No response to the "contact supplier" email form?

I have a line on an accurate vintage base for this. YAY!

The only markings inside are on every flat edge, it's marked ARTCRAFT
