Louis Poulsen PH 5 Buying Guide: Size, PH 5 Mini, Colours, Hanging Height and Hong Kong Price

The PH 5 is the pendant Poul Henningsen designed for Louis Poulsen in 1958 to hang low over a dining table without glare. It is the Louis Poulsen lamp people in Hong Kong ask us about most. This guide covers the questions that come up before buying: which size, which colour, how high to hang it, what it costs here and how to be sure it is an original.

The short answers

  • Sizes: the PH 5 is Ø50 × H26.7 cm; the PH 5 Mini is Ø30 × H16.3 cm.
  • Price in Hong Kong: PH 5 from HK$9,700 (painted finishes), HK$12,200 in brass or copper. PH 5 Mini from HK$7,000, HK$9,500 in brass or copper.
  • Hanging height: 55 to 65 cm between the tabletop and the bottom of the lamp.
  • One PH 5 or several Minis: one PH 5 for a table for four to six; two or three Minis in a row for a long table, an island or a bar counter.
  • Original: the PH 5 is made only by Louis Poulsen. MyConcept is an authorised Louis Poulsen retailer in Hong Kong.

PH 5 or PH 5 Mini

PH 5 PH 5 Mini
Diameter 50 cm 30 cm
Height 26.7 cm 16.3 cm
Bulb 1 × E27, max 100 W 1 × E14, max 60 W
Finishes 22 17
From HK$9,700 HK$7,000
Brass or copper HK$12,200 HK$9,500

The PH 5 comes with a 4 m cable, so it can be shortened to any ceiling height found in Hong Kong flats. Both sizes have the same shade system: light is directed down onto the table and out to the sides, and the bulb is never visible from a seat.

Which size for which table

Round or square table for fourOne PH 5. On a small table of about 80 to 90 cm, the PH 5 Mini keeps the proportions lighter.
Rectangular table of 140 to 180 cmOne PH 5 centred over the table.
Table of 200 cm or longerTwo PH 5, or three PH 5 Mini in a row.
Kitchen island or bar counterTwo or three PH 5 Mini.

These are rules of thumb. Bring your table size to the showroom or send it on WhatsApp and we will check it with you.

Colours and finishes

The PH 5 is offered in 22 finishes and the Mini in 17. Painted finishes, including the classic white, are HK$9,700 (Mini HK$7,000). Brass and copper are HK$12,200 (Mini HK$9,500). The PH 5 Retake edition is HK$11,500. White and the quieter monochromes are the easiest to place; the two-tone hues are chosen when the lamp is meant to be the colour in the room. The current list of finishes is on each product page.

Hanging height

Hang the PH 5 so that the bottom of the lamp is 55 to 65 cm above the tabletop. With a 75 cm table, that puts the bottom of the lamp about 130 to 140 cm from the floor. At that height the light covers the table, the faces around it are lit softly, and nobody looks into the bulb. For more on sizes and heights of dining pendants, see our dining pendant height and size guide.

All PH lamps and the rest of the range are in the Louis Poulsen collection.

How to tell an original PH 5

  • Maker: the PH 5 has only ever been made by Louis Poulsen. A lamp sold as a PH 5 under another brand name is a copy.
  • Size: the current PH 5 measures Ø50 × H26.7 cm and takes an E27 bulb; the Mini measures Ø30 × H16.3 cm and takes an E14 bulb.
  • Branding: look for Louis Poulsen branding on the lamp and its packaging.
  • Price: a new PH 5 offered far below HK$9,700 deserves questions.
  • Seller: buy from an authorised Louis Poulsen retailer. MyConcept is one.
