Back then they used fixtures that were not designed for electric light, and the result was a glaring light that is not even beautified the human traits when gathered around the dining table.

For example, had a 'PH 2/2' over-display with a diameter of about 20 cm, and the same applied seagull to the wheel arches.
Subsequently, introduced quirky models where screens have different widths. For example, 'PH 4/3' - this refers to the first number of screen diameter of 40 cm, while the screen is taken from PH model 3/3, above which the screens only has a diameter of 30 cm. These quirky seagull models were introduced to consumers could hang commuters lower.
"After 33 years of more or less Christian behavior, I switched to mohammedanism - in my relationship with glødelampefabrikationen. In a lifetime, I thought that the benefit of the consumer and reason would prevail, but now I have become a fatalist. I accept fate and with Louis Poulsen's acceptance constructed a PH fixture where you can use all kinds of lamps, Christmas lights and 100W metal wire lamps. The tubes would be too far in its current form! "
