Pair metal lights produced by the Raak lighting company in the 1960ies. The fixtures are made out of sheet black metal elements forming a powerful graphic shape. Behind these elements one E27 bulbholder is hidden, which provides light to the surroundings and also brings refined light through the copper pipes. The modest size and the black color makes this a perfect set of lights in any mix and match or vintage interior. Raak catalogue nr 7, model C 1516.
Fixtures are suitable for build-in-wall and wiring up to 240 volt, also for modern LED bulbs.. Very good and complete condition, with only minimal usermarks. Great opportunity to purchase as a pair.
