LED Table Lamps

If you visit us in our showroom in Archway you will notice not only the stylish small LED task lamps from Jake Dyson but also the presentation video supplied, which runs continually in the background. You will be captivated by its simplicity, many uses, flexibility, modern design, and advanced technology incorporated. We have already mentioned that Jake Dyson's LED task lamps will work for almost forty years, but there's even more than that to be said! Today we are quoting what three reputable websites/blogs - Tree Hugger, In Habitat, and Fastcodesign - say concerning these amazing fittings. TreeHugger on Jake Dyson's LED Lamps Not sure how right they are when they entitle their article with, Jake Dyson's LED Desk Lamp Will Light Up Longer Than You Will, but the truth is that these light fittings are designed to last at least 40 years! Here's what they further say, LEDs can last almost forever, but they often burn out early because they generate a lot of heat in a very small area. British designer Jake Dyson has built a heat pipe into the structure of the CSYS lamp to carry the heat away from the LEDs and then use the arm of the lamp as a heat sink to carry the heat away from the lamp. Inhabitat on Jake Dyson: Whopping 37+ Years! Inhabitat is also amazed at the lamp life of these amazing yet simplistic LED task lamps. After recognizing that Jake Dyson takes after his dad (the "vacuum god", that is, the inventor of the Hoover vacuum cleaners), Holly writes, 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. The arm itself acts as a heat sink, releasing the heat into the air. The result is that the attached LEDs will last a whopping 37 years longer! Fastcodesign "a Light that Lasts 50 years!" Those at Fastcodesign went as far as saying, How Jake Dyson’s Little Design Firm Developed A Light That Lasts 50 Years. After interviewing and talking to the designer and manufacturer of these fittings they write, So in the CSYS, the entire cross beam (which holds the LED) is one gigantic heat pipe. This heat pipe is supported by a scaffolding of heat sinks. When you combine all of that surface area, heat within the LEDs dissipates with remarkable efficiency. With the temperature at which the LEDs’ junctions run in the CSYS, manufacturers can guarantee 160,000 hours of sustained light--no dimming or color temperature change. That’s over 30 years. And it’s a conservative figure. One internal estimate by major LED manufacturer Osram gives the CSYS an operational run time of 220,000 hours--or about 50 years of nonstop light. Dyson can’t publish that number as no LED light has ever been tested that long in a lab. The truth is that it's one thing to get an LED lamp that looks slick and has a promise of 10 years on the box, and it is something totally different to get a lamp designed from the ground up with the maximum lifetime and energy-saving in view! When you purchase an LED task lamp like Jake Dyson's CSYS range you have the assurance of no temperature and no color change for more than 30 years (the most conservative features), apart from flexibility, precision, light distribution, bright LED light, and many other environment-friendly features.

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as a proper research and development in the LED technology industry, and the people at Jake Dyson have come up with a high end gadget-style task LED lamp that will work for almost forty years! In their own words, ... After a period of intense research and development, the Jake Dyson Lighting Design team honed in on the following features which they believe are key to producing a high performance LED task light and answer the technical requirements of consumers and industry alike.Note: this light fitting/s are no longer available at Sparks; you can see the existing LED table lamps here. Flexibility & Precision Inspired by the construction crane and drawing board the CSYS Task can be adjusted effortlessly in three axes to allow exact, stable positioning. Setting the LED head close to the working area allows focused illumination, whilst raising it creates a wide, even pool of light. The mechanics are designed with precision to ensure a smooth accurate movement and positioning. Light Distribution The CSYS Task light produces a bright, clear and even pool of warm, white light. The spread and intensity of light can be controlled within your working area. Unwanted spill is eliminated and its optical design minimises hot-spots and the opportunity for glare. In addition, the refined and compact structure of the light source means that it is not obtrusive when positioned in your line of sight. Bright LED Light Constant acceleration in LED development poses a real challenge for manufacturers to keep up and best implement these new technologies. The fully dimmable CSYS Task is designed around the latest generation of high power warm white LEDs. Heat Pipe Technology Heat pipe technology was developed for use in satellites and is now most commonly used to help cool microprocessors. The primary role of a heat pipe is to conduct heat away from its source. The heat pipe within the CSYS Task conducts heat away from the LEDs and distributes it evenly over the length of the heat sink. It uses no external pumps or extra energy to cool the LEDs and is instrumental in keeping the CSYS Task running brightly and efficiently for 37+ years. LED Sustainability Effective temperature control is essential to prevent early life failure as it is proven that excessive temperatures reduce the performance of LEDs leading to a shorter life span, reduced efficiency and disturbance in colour. The cooler the LED, the longer the life. To achieve maximum efficiency, a heat sink must utilise the entire surface area to discharge heat. Incorporating the heat sink within the CSYS as a structural element of the product, utilises its entire surface area to discharge heat evenly. The LEDs in the CSYS Task are run at just 30 degrees above room temperature to give a 160,000+ hours life and stable performance. The CSYS Task is 5 times more energy efficient than a comparable halogen bulb. The above is what the good people at Jake Dyson specify concerning their amazing LED task lamps (table lamps, desk lights, etc). You can purchase the CSYS Task range at Sparks Electrical in White or Black.

Here at Sparks Direct we like a great desk lamp: this range of fittings is essential, but that doesn't mean they have to be simply functional. We think they can also be beautiful, in their own way. Today we're looking at our five favourites from the store. Please note: some of these may no longer be available via Sparks; all our stylish table lamps can be found here.The Novel Maldon Desk Lamp Kicking off with the Maldon, we picked this one because - well, honestly, we just like the novel design of this light: a chrome semicircle with an adjustable lamp almost, but not quite, at its apex. The Flos Kelvin LED Light Antonio Citterio's Kelvin desk lamp, designed exclusively for Flos Lighting, is famous for its accurate colour rendition and simple controls: simply touch the back of the head and the LED lamp instantly comes on! The Small Wonder: The Artemide Tolomeo Mini A miniaturised version of the classic lamp, the Tolomeo Mini, the brainchild of Michele de Lucchi, might look familiar: Luxo, the mascot of the movie giant Pixar, was based on its bigger brother! The Unassuming but Eco-Friendly Mento The Mento is a simple but flexible LED lamp from Nordlux with a 3W LED lamp that is energy-saving but incredibly effective. The Tiny but Wonderful Micro Flexi Finally, the Micro Flexi in black or white is an oddball entry in our Top 5: it's not quite a table lamp, as such, but it clips onto the edge of the desk in an unobstrusive way that provides task lighting. Clip it onto the desk and forget about it: that's the mark of a great desk lamp.
