TECNOLUMEN® HL 99 Opal glass ceiling lamp

This hanging lamp, consisting of a chrome-plated or polished brass tube with an opal ball, was created by an unknown designer in 1900.‎ It was one of the first lighting fixture designs developed for electric light bulbs.‎ It has enriched the interior designs of many architects, such as Peter Behrens, Adolf Loos and Josef Hoffmann.‎ The Bauhaus had similar designs by Marianne Brandt and Hans Przyrembel.‎ This lamp was manufactured in large numbers in the 1920s and 30s, when it was mainly used in schools and offices.‎ They are available in five sizes: with 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 350mm and 400mm large opal balls.‎ The chrome-plated or polished brass tube is 1m long, but can easily be shortened by sawing off, because the hanger holds the rod without thread.‎ Each lamp is numbered consecutively and bears the TECNOLUMEN logo.‎ Net weight: 1.‎2 kg (Ø 200mm), 1.‎8 kg (Ø 250mm), 2.‎5 kg (Ø 300mm), 4.‎4 kg (Ø 350mm), 4.‎9 kg (Ø 400mm), Recommended illuminant: LED lamp 8W, matt
