PHILIPS INFRAPHIL 7529 INFRARED HEAT LAMP ATTRIB. CHARLOTTE PERRIAND

A 1950s-era InfraPhil 7529 heat lamp designed in the mid to late 1940s for PHILIPS & CO. and often wrongly attributed to Charlotte Perriand (see bio). InfraPhil light bulbs were designed to emit a maximum yield of short-wave infrared radiation as a substitute for natural sunlight. They were intended to be used therapeutically to relieve muscular pain. This lamp is complete and comes with its original 150w, 3-pin bayonet-style infrared bulb, which is still in working order. An enduring icon of 20th Century Modern industrial design. This model also has a built-in hanger that allows it to be mounted as a sconce. If use as a standard light fixture is preferred, the infrared bulb may be swapped out for any other bulb that has a matching 3-pin bayonet fitting. The lamp housing is made from ivory-enameled metal and can be rotated 360 degrees on its base and tilted up and down using the red anodized aluminum ring. It retains its original European cord and plug (free adapter available upon
