The Louis Poulsen Story
Key Features
The PH 2/1 Stem Fitting Chandelier from Louis Poulsen revolutionized lighting design with a three-shade system in 1925-1926. Designer Poul Henningsen aimed to produce glare-free light, directing it precisely and creating soft shadows with incandescent bulbs. The PH 2/1 Stem Fitting Chandelier is part of this iconic system, which now includes 30 lights. Glass shades were later introduced, illuminating the room while maintaining the system's principles of even light distribution. Each shade reduces light equally, determined by its distance from the source. Model numbers correspond to shade sizes; the PH 2/1 Stem Fitting Chandelier has a top shade of around 20 cm, paired with lower shades from the 1/1 model. Introduced in 2003, this configuration allows for pendants hanging at lower heights.
When you hear the name Louis Poulsen, you think distinctive modern Danish lighting. From the classic icons of the 1920s to more recent pieces, all Louis Poulsen lighting is created based on a deep-felt respect for architecture, understanding the emotional effect of lighting and the belief that shadow is just as aesthetically important as light. All three aspects manifest themselves in the sculptural layering and comfortable, glare-free light of Louis Poulsen pendants, wall, table and floor lamps.

Compare Brightness:
Lumens
The amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.Wattage
A measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)Bulb Shape
Bulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.Base
The part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.Voltage
Indicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.Light Color Temperature
The relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).Average Rated Life
The average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.CRI
CRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.Manufacturer IDs: view
