From the PH Ellipse reflector

Louis Poulsen launched this post top in 1982. Its shade follows the PH Ellipse reflector; the result is a robust, understated fixture of exact proportions.

Light and shade

Nothing is thrown upwards: the beam goes straight down. Inside, the shade is matte white, which turns the output into a gentle, diffused glow. A built-in 3000 K LED supplies 2176 lm, and the painted aluminum comes in black or natural.
