Lighting the Future: 7 Elegant and Innovative LED Lamps [Catalog]
Simply put, LEDs are the future. As the technology matures, it's now being embraced in a way unlike ever before. The diodes last longer and draw less power than other light sources. And, technical benefits aside, LEDs can also be implemented into unconventional forms much more easily than incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. Get ready for some crazy lighting designs. Jake Dyson's LED lamp design is built around the concept of maximizing the lifespan of the LED light. Spanning the length of the horizontal bar, a copper heat pipe takes heat away from the LED components, the most common life shortener of the diodes. The lamps also have some wonderful industrial features, such as the way the parts can moves along the X and Y axes. [PHOTO] When you have a newish technology, why not revisit an old form? Switch lighting's beautiful bulb is all about easing us into the future. It fits in a standard socket and emits a light comparable to incandescent bulbs. The form is something fam...
