Design by Poul Henningsen, 1924.
By Louis Poulsen.

PH Snowball is a 360-degree glare-free luminaire. The geometry of the PH Snowball is designed to ensure that all the illuminated surfaces of the shades are struck by the rays of light at the same angle, creating even illumination. The tops of the shades are glossy, creating sparkling light. The undersides are matte, avoiding reflections.

Spun aluminum reflector shades with white, wet painted finish on top and matte white finish on undersides. High luster chrome-plated die-cast aluminum supporting frames. High luster chrome-plated spun aluminum housing. Perforated bottom shield. Spring-loaded removable shade assembly for fast, tool-less relamping. White ceiling canopy which mounts to 4" octagonal junction box. 12 foot long 3-conductor, 18 AWG white PVC-covered power cord.
