Dyson CSYS Task Lights
2.8.2016
Dyson have recently entered the lighting market with an exciting series of LED lighting products which utilise heat pipe technology. The first of their ranges to launch is CSYS, a series of task lights for the home or office, consisting of a desk lamp, clamp and floor lamp.
What is unique to CSYS is the use of heat pipe technology to cool the LEDS, a technology typically found in satellites. Heat is drawn away from the LEDs using the heat pipe technology and dissipated through an aluminium heat sink, which forms the light’s horizontal arm. The result is CSYS LEDs maintain their brightness and colour quality over 154,000hrs (calculated lifetime based on IES TM-21-11 LM70).
The CSYS range has a specially engineered adjustment mechanism Axis Glide motion, which allows you to adjust the light to exactly where you need with the touch of your finger. While conventional lights rely on tension to stay in position, CSYS task lights use gravity. The arm moves vertically using a counterweight pulley system inspired by the construction crane. It also extends 27.5 cm horizontally along anti-friction bearings. The zinc alloy base rotates smoothly through 360°, and is weighted to increase stability.
The result is a fitting which can be adjusted to direct light to precisely where you need it smoothly and easily.
Another design feature of the CSYS task lights is the touch-sensitive, continuous dimmer which adjusts the level of light to where its needed. The dimmer also has a memory, so when the light is switched on it returns to the last light level set before being switched off.
CSYS Task Lights are fitted with eight high-power warm white (2700ºK) LEDS 12W 550lm with glare free conical reflectors. They surpass the task area illuminance requirements of AS/NZS 1680.
Dyson will launch Cu-Beam its high powered LED pendant later this month – exclusive to INLITE
