High performance sustainable lighting in the UK
Humanscale’s Nova light, which combines high performance and sustainability with a contemporary, minimal aesthetic, is now available in the UK. Nova is designed to complement any worksurface from a home office to a corporate environment and enhance any work style. It provides the right amount of desk illumination without the need for addition light sources.
Its custom occupancy sensor lens, was created as a result of extensive research. Humanscale collaborated with optical engineers to design a lens that fits seamlessly into the design. Together with an LED light, it creates a uniform pool of glare-free light that can be adjusted to the individual requirements of the user.
The light’s smooth counterbalance arm can pushed and pulled to any position, including rotating up to 180°, allowing for maximum customisation. Its ‘forever hinges’ ensure the arm stays in place without slipping or bounce, once the optimum position has been found. Nova’s sturdy construction doesn’t mean that it comprises on aesthetics. It has a striking, sculptural form, available in black, silver or white, with one of the thinnest light heads available today.
Its sustainability credentials are exemplary as well. It features a highly efficiency LED chip, requiring just seven watts to deliver a powerful 440 lumens of light. Nova’s LEDs last at least 50,000 hours, with the fixture backed by a ten-year, 24/7 warranty. It also an occupancy sensor that automatically shuts off the light when not in use.
It contributes to LEED, WELL, and Living Building Challenge certifications and is in-line with Humanscale’s own commitment to sustainability. It is composed of 50% recycled content by weight and 70% of its material is recyclable and is in-line with Humanscale’s commitment to sustainability in terms of meeting new green goals each year, reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and waste.
