Vintage Sollux / Solilux Original Hanau Medical Desk Lamp 

This is a fantastic 1950s Vintage Sollux / Solilux Original Hanau Medical Desk Lamp made from cream coated aluminium and brown bakelite with an integral cream coloured switch.

Converted to a desk lamp, it is in very good working condition with a few superficial surface scuffs and scratches, and one small dent measuring less than 4mm on top of the lamp. The lamp head can be adjusted; as seen in the images.

Although originally sold as a UV tanning lamp, the 150w Radium bulb has been replaced by a LED lamp for Health and Safety compliance. The original red glass multi-piece filter has been replaced with a clear etched glass window. However, the red filter is supplied and can be used, if preferred, for a soft red glow.

Made by Hanau, who invented the heat lamp in the early 1900s, based at Hanau (near Frankfurt), Germany. It has a wonderful Bauhaus, Art Deco, design. 

Marked on the side of the lamp head ‘Original Hanau,’
