The arrogance of people still inventing new lamps after the Ikea KRUX lamp is astounding

This PH5 lamp was invented in the 1950s

I'm not sure why anyone even tried to invent a new pendant light after the PH5. ;)

It is a great design.

I found it when looking for a lamp that doesn't expose the bulb itself, which is exactly what it was designed for.

How does it fare with modern LED bulbs? I imagine the placement of the reflectors assumes an almost-point source of light like a filament would provide, but most LED bulbs now have a plane of LEDs inside a frosted shell.

I guess would it make a noticeable difference to put an LED faux filament bulb in here? Or is it just not as fussy as I'm imagining?

I use a frosted LED bulb and don't see any reason it would work better with an incandescent bulb, i.e. it works great.

Looks like a dog

Had to look it up. The cable coming out of the middle section is unfortunate. I get it's supposed to be vaguely anthropomorphic so that's like a tail or something but... come on.
