It can be used as a direct light above a desk, a reading corner or even a dining table, without the need to install a ceiling lighting. This flexibility makes lighting 265 a popular choice not only with designers but also with architects looking for a combination of technical solution and aesthetic purity.

Since its inception in 1973, the 265 has remained relevant and popular. Its industrial character, slim silhouette and functional design have inspired a generation of modern wall lights. Although it is over fifty years old, thanks to its timelessness and high quality workmanship, light 265 is still manufactured and used in contemporary interiors around the world.
