    George Nelson

    George Nelson

    When writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps" — moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of."

    Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, conscious break with all values he identifies as anti-human." Designers also must constantly be aware of the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding.

    Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane design.

    Looks great in our Eichler

    This light is perfect for reading. We have it over our Eames lounger. We also use it to light the room with a softer light while watching movies etc.

    Function:

    The lamp has two ranges of motion. It swings in a 180 degree arc from its base. The height can be adjusted by feeding the cord through the armature. Ingenious.

    Construction:

    The wall mount is made of solid beautiful wood that looks like walnut. The arm is nicely gauged aluminum. The chord is solid white and at least 6 feet long from the counter weight to the plug. The counter weight is metal. The pull switch has a walnut ball on the end. The pull has a satisfying feel and does not cause the lamp to wobble or move at all.

    Installation:

    The lamp is mounted by two screws passing through two pre-drilled holes in the base.

    You need two people to mount this or some way to hold the saucer and armature while you drill the wooden base in. The chord passes through the base and right over the mount holes. Getting it out of the way so you can drill the screws in is tricky. I marred the cord on the second drill.

    Installation time with 2 bickering people, a laser level and a power drill was about 10 minutes. So its not hard to do at all.

    I've been waiting 3 years to buy this lamp and I finally gave it to myself for Christmas!

    The bubble saucer wall sconce makes me feel like I'm on the set of MAD MEN. We had the original version in our living room in California in the Sixties and I always wanted another for my own home. I's elegant and simple design works in any modern decor. The quality is top-notch and it arrived in a very speedy fashion directly from the manufacturer.It took about 5 minutes to put up. I'm extremely happy with this lamp.

    Beautiful, classic light.

    This lamp is beautiful. It provides soft ambient light as well as good directional lighting for reading. The sconce version is perfect if you can't hang a ceiling fixture or don't have enough room for a table or floor lamp. The only caveat with this lamp is that it takes two people to install it. Otherwise, this light would've received a rating of five stars.

    Remodel Housings

    In contrast to new construction housings, remodeling housings are appropriate when you have limited or no access to the space above a new fixture, such as in an apartment or a home without crawl spaces or attics above.

    New Construction Housings

    In contrast to remodeling housings, new construction housings are bulkier and need to be installed between joist beams or onto hangar bars and thus you need full access to the space above the fixture. This style is best used if you are building in a new space, gutting a room, or have an attic above or pop out ceiling, etc.

    Non-IC Rated

    Non-IC stands for: non insulation contact. Thus, non-IC-rated housings must be kept at least 3 inches away from any insulation.

    IC Rated

    IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.

    MR16 Halogen Bulb

    MR 16 is a standard format for halogen multifaceted reflector light bulbs. MR16 lamps are regularly used in place of standard incandescent light bulbs as they harness and shoot light, resulting in less light loss than a traditional bulb. These are best used when you want focused light such as in a pendant over a countertop or an accent light on a painting.

    cUL Listed

    CUL stands for Underwriters Laboratories of Canada, a non-profit company that tests electrical components and equipment for potential hazards. If something is UL-listed, I means it has met the agency's safety requirements for things like fire, shock hazards, etc. While you can buy and install non-UL listed fixtures, sometimes insurance policies will limit their liabilities accordingly, inspectors may not approve permits, etc.

    Damp Location

    If the environment exposes the lighting system to moisture condensation, then the location is a damp location. Lights that are approved for damp locations can be used in sheltered outdoor areas such as roofed porches or interior locations subject to moderated degrees of moisture such as basements.

    Wet Location

    If the lighting system is exposed to direct impact by water from splashing or dripping, which will make the fixture wet, then the location is a wet location. Your most common wet locations are uncovered outdoor areas.

    Gimbal Ring trims allow the light bulb to be directed or angled to highlight a specific spot or general area. This trim is popular in living rooms, dens and home offices.
