Please Help Identify this Equipment Made by Grafikon

I found this whilst trawling the boot sales for vintage items - I have no clue what this is, but it looks interesting (and cheap) so I got it.
The foam padding on the wooden box had already turned to sticky gunk so cleaned it up.
I am not sure if this is related to TV broadcasting and Google searches on whatever I can read off the equipment turned up nothing as well -
except for the fact that the company who made it (Grafikon) had already gone bust ages ago but was a manufacturer of TV and broadcast equipment.
The original power cord had a strange four-prong plug in it so I replaced it with the standard UK plug just so I can see how it lights up.
The torch (I'll call it that for the mean time) has some sort of an aperture at the handle that you can turn to control the intensity of the light.
There is also a removable filter at the mid section of the torch.
I have also removed the top housing so the inner bits can be seen (please see the photos).
May I ask if any of you knows what this is please? Any reply is appreciated.
