Similar to the ‘Ox’, this fluorescent light fixture originates from the late DDR era. The design and materials indicate that the lamp originate from the 1970s. The stretched aluminium housing with bakelite connection box and a long glass tube, give this lamp a light and slender character.
ORIGIN
The lamp was found in one of the largest laboratories in East Germany. After WWII this lab fell under the soviet military administration, and became one of the DDR’s state-owned companies until the reunification in the early nineties. In a group, the lamp illuminated one of the storage buildings of the complex.
