Designed in 1997

Alfred Homann designed Kipp Post in 1997. He designed it for urban environments where functional and pleasant lighting comfort was desired, with easy maintenance and easy bulb changes.

Tilting light head

A special system lets the light head tilt for access to the electrical components. The luminaire emits symmetrical light directed downwards; the inner diffuser angle and the slightly curved top shade give a wide band of glare-free, uniform lighting.
