This double-blue filtering removes yellow and red wavelengths to mimic natural sunlight.  Both of these blue glass sections are held together by a beautiful patinated brass band. \u003cbr\u003e- Every individual glass component on this specific piece retains its original factory stamp reading ‘Reinlicht Solal’ \/ ‘Eri-Solal’.\u003cbr\u003e- A truly stunning example.  These pendants sit at the intersection of functional Bauhaus industrial design and decorative Art Deco.                                                                                          - Height 90cm, Width 38cm, Depth 38cm.\u003cbr\u003e- Rewired in braided flex and PAT tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReinlicht-Werke AG (Germany)\u003c\/strong\u003e were founded in Munich (originally as Reinlicht GmbH in 1915, later Reinlicht-Werke AG in 1920).  The German manufacturer specialised in technical and medical lighting, with Reinlicht translating literally to ‘pure light’.  Often partnering with the French designer Louis Bosi (brand name Ilrin \/ Jlrin), the ‘Solal’ line was the product name for their daylight-simulating glass diffusers.  These iconic lights used specially engineered blue and white glass filters to mimic natural, colour-corrected daylight, and were initially built for medical examinations, laboratories, dental offices, and textile\/printing workshops.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Zoffa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51011458728034,"sku":null,"price":8995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/7445\/7442\/files\/IMG_1339_MASTER_jpg_020500d6-8442-49a1-b7c6-1e9ec8b3ae6d.jpg?v=1794501452","url":"https:\/\/johnzoffa.com\/products\/antique-vintage-german-bauhaus-reinlicht-solal-opaline-daylight-ceiling-pendant-light-lamp","provider":"John Zoffa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
