The Louis Poulsen Story
Key Features
The PH 2/1 Wall Sconce from Louis Poulsen was designed by Poul Henningsen, who came up with the three-shade system in the 1920s for the purpose of directing light in a downward fashion. Utilizing a logarithmic spiral design, he achieved uniform light distribution across the shade's curve. This, combined with the glass's diffuse reflection, enabled effective glare and shadow control. Each shade equally reduces light output due to its distance from the source. This wall sconce is made accordingly, with a shade of mouthblown opal glass, which gives a tiered presentation. A durable, round metal backplate secures the sconce to your wall. The shade remains neatly suspended at the end of a slender arm. The sconce is lit by an LED, which is dimmable when used in tandem with an ELV dimmer.
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
