About Magpie Tischleuchte

Magpie ist eine Tischleuchte in Form eines Vogels mit faltbaren Flügeln. Über einen einzigen Kontaktschalter am Fuß des zylindrischen Korpus wechselt die Leuchte zwischen drei Positionen. In der ersten Position bleiben die Flügel angelegt und das Licht ist klein und weich – ideal für den Einsatz neben dem Bett. In der zweiten Position hebt sich der Kopf und das Licht wird heller, was sich für Büro und Arbeitszimmer eignet. In der dritten Position öffnen sich die Flügel vollständig und ein größerer Bereich wird ausgeleuchtet. Der Korpus besteht aus Metall mit Goldfinish, der Schirm aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material.

2）Form display problem.
There are three different forms of“Magpie Lamp". How to make the three forms change smoothly without affecting the lighting is a big problem.
