The Homann wall light was designed by Alfred Homann in 1981 to suit incandescent bulbs. The design was modified in 1987 to create Homann M2 Wall, suitable for compact fluorescent bulbs. The wall light is based on a classic geometric shape – a quarter sphere. The light illuminates the back plate to give a clear perception of its shape. The wall light has been designed for the purpose of illuminating façades, entrances and stairways.
