The status of solid-state lighting luminaires– including LED light sources, drivers, and controls – is continually evolving. Every month, as cutting-edge products are introduced to the marketplace, we are dedicated to presenting some of the most noteworthy developments to the industry.
Luxo: The Split task light reportedly offers twice the light output of typical LED task lamps and is particularly suited for large work surfaces where more light is needed. It has all-metal construction, a spring-balanced arm for maximum reach and flexibility, and an automatic shut-off for further energy savings. The lamp head is made of a slim sheet of aluminum that is cut and shaped so that the LED light sources are directed to illuminate across the desktop. A matching table base is also available. www.luxous.com |
