Description
Overview
The Raimond II R127 is a suspended sphere of stainless steel, 127 cm across, designed by Raimond Puts for Moooi. Two steel spheres joined by LEDs form a thin, openwork triangular mesh, and tiny LED lights punctuate the surface.
Construction
The mesh of the two spheres also transports the electric current. The sphere is stainless steel with PMMA lenses, for indoor use and not resistant to marine environments. A white metal rectangular canopy and a transparent cable with tinned cores hold it from the ceiling. Net weight is 4.5 kg.
Specifications
- 492 LED light sources, included, with light in all directions
- 3390 lm, 2500 K (max), CRI 92, max 58 W
- Input 120-250 V, 50/60 Hz; lifetime 50,000 hours
- Dimmable through DALI dt6; mains / ELV dimming is not possible
Story
Mathematics in the shape
Raimond Puts was intrigued by the shape of the geodesic dome and by the mystery of prime numbers, and the R127 measures 127 cm across.
Light from the mesh
Two steel spheres joined by LEDs make the thin, openwork triangular mesh that carries the current, so the sphere is both structure and wiring. The R127 is stainless steel with PMMA lenses and hangs on a transparent cable with tinned cores.
