ILKW by Ilkwang Lighting · Daegu, South Korea · since 1962
Exclusive distributor for Thailand
ILKW began as an incandescent bulb factory in Daegu and spent sixty years turning itself into a design lighting maker. The SNOWMAN series is the result of that turn — and the reason we opened with this maker.

How ILKW model names work
How ILKW model names work
Many ILKW model names carry a number tied to the lamp's size — Snowman 8 is 8 centimetres across, Snowman 12 is 12. Exact dimensions are on each product page.
On a linear lamp like Triangle 120 the number is its length, not a diameter. On Docking Station 01–08 the number is its place in the series, not a size.
Start with these two
The first two we brought in. Both charge over USB-C, go anywhere in the room, and can be ordered today.
