This is a supposed German lighting company - I can't find any reference on the web

Anyone know of or used one? - any good?

It's apparently German.

I knew there were stores all over Germany called "Photo Porst", but I didn't know they had once been manufacturers. More on the still photography side I think.

The lamp looks to me like a typical consumer film-lamp from Super8 times. That means 1000-2000W halogen in a handheld lamp for that light hungry 20 ASA film :)
