Re: Please tell me I got the right spotlight

Value is really dependent on condition. Most used Unity spotlights in average condition are worth between $25-$75. I’ve purchased one in mint condition for $25, and another for over $100 that claimed to be in mint condition but wasn’t. Many are only good for parts. The cast parts are prone to pitting, and the lamp shells frequently have pits, dents, or worn out plating. Original grease can also solidify hard enough to break internal parts.

And Unity still sells spotlights for most vintage applications costing around $240, so that’s pretty much the upper spending limit on used spotlights, unless an extremely rare and highly desirable bracket is included which is no longer available.
