- Designed to hang low above a table - Glare free light - 3 shades and a cone mounted on 3 legs.
- PH 5 is wet-painted in a matt surface. In PH 5 the legs are purple and 2 smaller coloured shades enhance the part of the spectrum of light least sensitive to the eye - Red-painted inside of the cone creates a warm tone of light.
- PH 50 is wet-painted in a high-lustre surface. In PH 50 the legs are painted in aluminium colour. All versions of PH 50 have a warm red antiglare disc to ensure a warm tone of light – all other inner-sides are white to make effective light.
PH 5 (1958) provides a glare free illumination. The design of the visible reflectors ensures that light is directed both vertically and horizontally. Light is diffused through a sandblasted glass shield located in the lower shade.
Chili Red, coconut white, mint blue, olive black or wasabi green, lacquered. White, wet painted.
