Description
The fixture provides a comfortable, glare-free light, based on the principle of Poul Henningsen’s reflective three-shade system, which directs the majority of the light downwards. It emits a lateral light as well as illuminating itself, providing a soft radiance from within its core.
The lower shade is furthermore fitted with a frosted diffuser glass to ensure that the downward directed light is 100% glare-free.
Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes in the shape and size of incandescent bulbs introduced by bulb manufacturers.
The PH 5 was introduced as a classic new product from Louis Poulsen, and no one knew at the time that it would eventually become synonymous to the PH light.
Irrespective of how the light is installed, or the light source used, the PH 5 is and remains completely glare-free. The fixture was christened PH 5 due to the 50 cm diameter of the main shade.
