LED desk lamp lasts for 37 years
Jake Dyson, son of Sir James, has recently developed a range of LED desk lamps that will stay bright for 37 years. CSYS task lights, now part of Dyson's lighting range, use heat pipe technology to direct heat away from the LEDs. Operating at 55°C, the heat is dissipated through an aluminium heat sink, which forms the light's horizontal arm.
While conventional lights rely on tension to stay in position, these lights use gravity. Using three Axis Glide motion, the arm moves vertically using a counterweight 'pulley' system inspired by the construction crane. It also extends 27.5cm horizontally along anti-friction bearings. The zinc alloy base rotates smoothly through 360° and is weighted to increase stability. You can move the light with just a touch of a finger tip.
The lights have touch-sensitive, continuous dimming. So users can adjust them to exactly the level of light needed. The dimmer also has a memory, so when switching the light back on it's exactly how it was left.
The light consists of eight LEDs, providing 587lx of warm, white light. Each LED is housed in a conical reflector to eliminate glare.
