Today (2019) lamps made of clear frosted en mirror glass with chrome versions are made. In the past, blue, orange, red and white versions were also produced.

Also made as a wall lamp (Golf P1), pendant lamp (Golf S3) and a table lamp (Golf T3). Pendant lamps exist on a curved rod (Golf S2). Wall lamps with a curved rod (Golf P2) were made. Sometimes these flush mounts/ ceiling lamps (Golf PL) are used as a wall lamp. Unfortunately, a floor lamp was never produced.
