image/jpeg iconFeaturing two multichip 8W LEDs, Antonio Citterio’s architectural sconce provides diffused direct and indirect illumination indoors or out. High-efficiency top and bottom lenses are available for 20-degree or 40-degree beam spreads. Available in white, chrome, matte gray and matte brown. www.flosusa.com [1]
image/jpeg iconMeant to dissolve the boundary between lamp and bulb, a collection of new portable luminaires redefines LED illumination as something very personal and mobile. The rechargeable 7.5W LED light bulbs can last up to three days when used on minimum wattage or five hours on maximum wattage. The dimmer switch is in the base. www.foreverlamp.eu [2]
image/jpeg iconAt the core of this dimmable LED task light is thermal management heat pipe technology that cools the LEDs to ensure peak performance for decades. The arm spins, moves back and forth, as well as up and down, adjusting the light spread as it moves. www.jakedyson.com [3]
image/jpeg iconPerfectly integrated and camouflaged within a hollow plastic ring, an LED bulb housed inside the upper part of the table lamp responds to a gentle stroke of an integral dimmer touch switch. Designed by the Spanish studio Lievore Altherr Molina, Anisha comes in two sizes and two colors. www.foscarini.com [4]
image/jpeg iconSimple white plastic that’s been reinforced with fiberglass is worked into tubular stems of varying lengths. Inside each, a double LED system softly illuminates the stem while also providing direct downward illumination. Designed by Marc Sadler. www.fabbian.com [5]
image/jpeg iconA familiar form made modern with LED technology, this cable-hung pendant designed by Nick Sheridan has an LED driver hidden in the canopy. Brushed aluminum “shades” suspended from oiled walnut supports soften the light cast from within the center polymer column. Takes one 3.2W 12V LED lamp. www.cernogroup.com [6]
image/jpeg iconSomething akin to an Erector Set that lights up, this new LED design by Chris Beardsley makes use of wood scraps, adding to its eco appeal. LED strip lights housed with sleek wooden beams come in lengths from 1 to 7 feet. The beams can be used to create a wall sconce, a minimalist wall-leaning lamp or mounted underneath a shelf. www.ruxdesign.net [7]
image/jpeg iconNine concentric ellipses cut from a single anodized aluminum plate provide a base for 384 white LEDs. The rings rotate independently on different axes, creating direct, indirect and diffused illumination. Copernico folds flat when not in use. www.artemide.net [8]
image/jpeg iconPowerdercoated gold on the inside, dark matte on the outside, stylized iron tubes suspended overhead resemble birds in flight. Magnetic cables make it easy to adjust the height of each fixture. Requires two G9 LED lamps per tube. www.delightfull.eu [9]
image/jpeg iconConcentric metal rings are fitted with acrylic diffusers that conceal warm white LED light strips within each ring. Available in black, bronze, brass or copper, the fixture’s rings can be arranged in different combinations to create various shapes and lighting effects. www.rollandhill.com [10]
image/jpeg iconAvailable in a variety of glass colors, metal finishes and configurations, this made-to-order light fixture was designed and made in New York by Jeffrey Goodman. While they are still very hot, Goodman spins spheres of hand-blown glass until they flatten. Available with LED lamping upon request. www.jgooddesign.com [11]
