An exceptionally rare original LCII wall light designed by Le Corbusier for his architectural projects in India. This is the largest and most sought-after version of the model, commonly referred to as the "Grand Model", produced according to Le Corbusier's original specifications for use in Chandigarh and other Indian commissions. The set of lights I have came from the exterior of a private residence in Chandigarh.

Originally conceived for exterior architectural applications, these sculptural lights possess a remarkable presence and are equally compelling when installed indoors. Their bold geometric form exemplifies Le Corbusier's mastery of functional modernist design, where architecture and lighting become inseparable elements of the built environment.

This example retains the majority of its original painted finish. Decades of exposure and use have resulted in areas of paint loss, revealing naturally oxidised metal beneath. The resulting surface displays a rich patina of varied colours and textures, giving each light a unique character and depth that can only be achieved through age and authentic use.

The fixture pivots on its horizontal axis via its original locking nuts. They could be installed as either an uplight or downlight. While most examples were originally mounted as downlights, period drawings and documented installations show both orientations in use. The original aluminium internal reflector remains intact, enhancing light output while preserving the lamp's historical integrity.

Five examples are currently available and may be purchased individually or as a group. Additional photographs showing multiple lights installed together can be provided upon request.

The lights can be professionally rewired to suit the electrical standards of the purchaser's country. Outdoor-rated lampholders can also be fitted if required, subject to discussion regarding the intended application.
