Rainbow Model A-5040 by Artup Lighting
Designed c. 1980’s
No longer in production
Artup was an American lighting manufacturer. Their Rainbow A-5040 sconce utilizes dichroic glass, which is a process by which layers of glass and micro-layers of metal or oxides are stacked in such a way that different colors are produced, depending upon how light passes through or is reflected off of the surface. Several of these sconces were used in The Next Generation episodes, “The Most Toys,” in Kivas Fajo’s collection room, and “Brothers,” in Dr. Soong’s Lab. More recently, it was referenced in the Lower Decks episode, “Parth Ferengi’s Heart Place,” in the background of the Ferengi television series, “Cop Landlords.”
