Vintage Field Hospital Standing Light

Vintage Field Hospital Standing Light from Philips.

This was probably a battery-powered light for a (military?) field hospital. We have given it an E27 fitting and removed all traces of the battery so now it functions as a decorative industrial floor/reading lamp, with in-line dimmer.

Shade is chromed on the inside for higher light rendement, 30 x 23 x 10 cm;

base 39 x 23 cm;

height adjustable from 115 to 173 cm, photographed at 160 cm;

was initially sold by EH. Hofstede, Langestraat 59 Alkmaar the Netherlands;

Industrial Dutch Design standing floor lamp;
