Jake Dyson’s new CSYS led task table lamp was designed to improve the use of LED modules. It’s getting to be common knowledge that LEDs are among the most energy-efficient lighting options out there, but they still maintain some problems: ugly light color, for one; and shortened life due to their own heat damaging themselves, for another.
But now Jake Dyson (yes, his dad is the vacuum god) has devised a new lamp that addresses both those problems. His CSYS desk lamp, which debuted during New York Design Week, has a built-in heat pipe running inside its arm that carries the heat generated by the LEDs away from them. Dyson comments: “In every product I’ve done, the function of the product has been part of its aesthetic, so it’s rather like a moving sculpture.”
The arm acts as a heat sync releasing the heat into the air, moves and stays in its position Also, the dimmable CSYS lamp will last at least 160,000 hours at full brightness or or a mind boggling 37 years if used just 12 hours a day. This design solution stands on its on merit and might not appeal to everyone’s aesthetic, but “form follows function” and this one is bound to be a classic. It’s a bit pricey at about $900.00 US.
