For the first time, Louis Poulsen offers a portable cordless version of the iconic PH2/1 table lamp with three glass shades.
The result is spectacular and luxurious: arguably the finest cordless lamp on the market.
Like its wired sibling, the PH2/1 cordless lamp emits glare-free, soft light of remarkable quality, thanks to Poul Henningsen's famous three-shade system.
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it features a rechargeable, replaceable battery that provides 5 hours of light at maximum output, i.e. 289 lumens. The lamp is, of course, dimmable, so it can be used for much longer by lowering the wattage (120 hours at 5%).
The lamp is IP44 classified, so it can be used outdoors without fear of showers.

Born in Copenhagen, Poul Henningsen's mother was the famous Danish actress Agnes Henningsen. He never qualified as an architect, but studied at the Technical School in Frederiksberg (Denmark) from 1911 to 1914, and then at the Technical College in Copenhagen (1914-1917).
He started out practising traditional functionalist architecture, but over the years his professional interests evolved to focus mainly on lighting, which is what he is most famous for. He also branched out into writing, becoming a journalist and author. For a brief period at the start of the Second World War, he was chief architect of Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. But like many other creative people, he was forced to flee Denmark during the German occupation, and soon became a vital part of the Danish colony of artists living in Sweden.
His long collaboration with Louis Poulsen began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen was also the first editor-in-chief of the business magazine "NYT". Louis Poulsen's CEO at the time, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, offered PH the magazine because he had been sacked from the Danish newspaper he was working for (his views were too radical).
Poul Henningsen's pioneering work on the relationship between light structures, shadows, glare and colour reproduction, compared with man's need for light, remains the foundation of the lighting theories still practised by Louis Poulsen.
