These ceiling lights were produced between 1962-91. By moving the upper cylinder, in conjunction with the differently coloured rings, the colour spectrum of the light can be changed variably. From blue, cold, light to a warmer, reddish, colour spectrum. Jörstian / Nielsen (eds.), Taend !, Copenhagen 1994, p. 282.
