This vintage Louis Poulsen spotlight is entitled Alux Globespot and was designed in the early 1960s by E Graae and H Helger. The earliest version of the light (which can be seen here on our partner site vintage-danish-lights.com) had a matt nickelled flange/wall mount. This version, dating to the late 1960s or 1970s, has the later hard plastic flange, its bright orange colour exactly matching the bright orange of the glossy metal ball-shaped head.
The head has a diameter of 20.5cm (8 inches) and a circumference of 64.5cm (approximately 25.5 inches). A 24cm-long (9.5 inch) channel running down the centre of the lamp head allows its angle to be adjusted through approximately 110 degrees. It takes a standard-sized Eddison screw-fitting bulb (not supplied). The lamp is in excellent, shiny condition and shows only minimal signs of its age.
No wall/ceiling fittings are included beyond those visible inside the flange in the images below. The lamp's original two-core wiring is intact and in excellent condition. UK buyers, however, should note that legislation introduced in 2005 requires metal-bodied lights installed directly into the mains to have three-core wiring, so for that reason this lamp is offered within the UK as a collectors' item only.
