Story
Developed for ships
The Skot light was developed in the early 1900s by LK (Lauritz Knudsen) for ships and maritime areas. Its compact and sturdy design has also made it popular in other environments.
Soft, diffuse light
The opal diffuser creates a soft light distribution, and a single COB LED sits in a frosted lens that evenly lights the opal polycarbonate enclosure.
