After 50 years of glare-free illumination, the PH 5 is celebrating its 1958 conception by introducing an exciting new spin-off, the PH 50. The PH 50 captures the spirit of the 4-shade design but spices up the classic luminaire with five new color options – Chili Red, Mint Blue, Wasabi Green, Coconut White and Olive Black. The PH 50’s vibrant flair comes not only from the five color options but also from its new lustrous finish.
This fixture is called a PH 5 because the diameter of the top shade is 50 cm. The number “5” refers to 5 dm=50 cm. The PH 5 consists of three reflecting shades, a cone and two smaller colored shades (red and blue) designed to improve the light source’s color rendering properties. Red and blue was a natural choice because these two colors belong to the spectrum of which the human eye is least sensitive, and at the same time they weaken the yellow/green spectrum where the eye is most sensitive.
