Concrete Ball LED Hanging Lamp by Germán González Garrido

i want one! love it! m.

Germán González Garrido designed the CONCRETE BALL LED HANGING LAMP with the intention of embeding large LED COB chips during the casting process. As a result, the lamp is a monolithic concrete piece with no joints.

COB LEDs have great advantage of thermal resistance, larger cooling area, better lighting effect and look great in concrete.

The lamp angle can be adjusted at 0º/45º using screws embeded also during casting.
