A real answer
Hedda or Anselm writes back with either a slot number in batch 14 or an honest reason not to buy. No automated acknowledgement, no sequence of follow-ups.
Batch 14 · opens 3 November 2026 · 40 units
Loading bay, Camsdorfer Ufer, 06:50 the morning batch 13 went outFour weeks, one crate, no salesperson.
€2 340 including nineteen per cent MwSt and delivery inside the EU. You pay when the batch opens; we build in the four weeks after that; the lamp arrives measured, with its own sheet.
Read the sheet first
In the crate.
- One Nord 120, graphite, serial stamped into the gland cap
- Suspension pair, 2 000 mm of 3 mm cable, gravity locks
- Two ceiling roses, 92 mm, with the drilling template
- Your own sphere report: flux, CCT, Ra, R9, Rf, Rg, Pst
- The IES photometric file on a printed link
- A 2.5 mm hex key, because you will need it eventually
Not in the crate.
- A DALI controller. Ask us and we will name one; we do not resell it.
- An electrician. The lamp is 86 W on a standard circuit, but the rose goes into a ceiling and that is their job, not ours.
- A second lamp. Benches over 1.4 m need two and we will say so before you pay, not after.
- An invoice in a currency other than euro.
Payment is by bank transfer only. We do not take cards and we do not hold deposits — the full amount, once, when the batch opens.
Plate 08
Three rings out of Jena.
Crated weight 6 240 g, 1 320 × 220 × 180 mm. Shipping is included to anywhere in the first two rings; outside the EU we quote freight separately and you pay your own duty.
Tell us about
the bench.
We read every one of these ourselves. If one lamp is wrong for your room we will say so and tell you what is right, even when that is nothing we sell.
What happens after you press send.
You take a slot
An invoice, a slot number and a build week. Bank transfer, seven days to pay. If the batch fills before you transfer, you go to the front of the next one.
It leaves on a Friday
Measured Thursday, crated Friday morning, tracked. The sphere report is in the lid, signed, with your serial and the date it was measured.
Before you send it.
Can I send it back?
Thirty days from delivery, in the crate it came in, refunded in full including the outbound freight. You pay the return. Eleven have come back since 2017; nine of those rooms needed two lamps and bought two.
Why is there no card payment?
On a €2 340 invoice the card fee is about €43. Forty of those a month is a second anodising run, so we would rather you sent a transfer and we spent it on the lamp.
Do you sell through dealers?
No. A dealer margin on forty lamps a month would put the price near €3 400 and we would stop speaking to the people using them, which is where every improvement has come from.
I need six for a teaching studio. Is there a price?
€2 190 each from four up, because they ship on one pallet and we bin the drivers together. Six is fifteen per cent of a batch, so tell us two months ahead or you will take the whole of batch 15.
What if my ceiling is 4.2 m?
Then 2 000 mm of cable is not enough and we will make you a longer pair at cost — about €40. Tell us the ceiling height in the form; it is the question we most often have to ask back.
Can I visit?
Thursdays from one until six, no appointment. Bring something you are trying to match — a swatch, a glaze test, a retouch — and put it under the bench lamp. That is the only demonstration we know how to give.
