Why We Love It: We keep hearing about LED lighting as being the next best thing in energy efficient lighting, but it has still yet to hit the main stream. The LINK is one of our favorite new LED lights with a masterful design, high functionality and personality. Great for the office and the home and is the perfect companion to a good book on a gray day.
Designed with the workplace in mind, you can bend, twist, tilt and pivot the frame up to 360 degrees to achieve just the right lighting for your task. The optical diffusing optical film over the circle of LED lights provides glare-free light control. The LED bulb included has a 25,000 hour lifespan – compare that to CFL’s that last anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 hours and incandescent bulbs that last anywhere from 750 to 1,000 hours.
In addition to being incredibly energy efficient, the LINK lamp is an incredibly minimalist design streamlined to reduce the amount of parts and materials to build it. The arms are made of stamped aluminum, the lens is a polycarbonate and the base is made of die-cast zinc base finished with a matte soft-feel paint. As much thought was put into the creation of the lamp as was put into its end. It is built to last, but can be easily disassembled for recycling and 97% of the components are completely recyclable.
