Mayday Light

Designer: Konstantin Grcic
The Mayday Lamp can meet virtually any lighting challenge. It sports a dual-functioning handle that combines a closed grip and a hook for easy hanging, or it can be left to stand on its base. With a 16-foot cord, it has the kind of flexibility found in industrial work lights, making it both portable and capable of being suspended from on high. The Mayday can be used outside in good weather, as well as in multiples to keep your whole patio or deck illuminated. A push-button on/off switch sits on the handle. Bulb (not included): Incandescent 60W/120V/E26/A19-2PK.
