Lumens.com Introduces Unique CSYS LED Job Lamp by Jake Dyson, Created to Last More than 37 A long time


Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) May 31, 2012

Lumens.com has introduced the new CSYS LED Task Lamp by Jake Dyson, a revolutionary design built to last more than 37 years.

Available exclusively at Lumens.com, the CSYS LED Task Lamp is the latest contemporary lighting introduction from Jake Dyson, the result of six years of researching the mechanics and technology needed to innovate task lighting. The sleekly designed CSYS has a number of features that go beyond the conventions of the everyday desk lamp:

Built-in cooling mechanism: The advanced technology behind the CSYS is instrumental in keeping the lamp running for more than 37 years. Inside, the lamp features heat pipe technology, which conducts heat away from the LED lights and distributes it evenly over the length of the heat sink. Without requiring external pumps or extra energy to cool the LEDs, the CSYS is able to run brightly and efficiently for an extraordinary long timemore than 160,000 hours.

Dimmable LED lamping: Despite ever-accelerating technology that makes it challenging to keep up, the CSYS Task Lamp was designed around the latest generation of high-power, warm white LED lights and is fully dimmable. The spread and intensity of light can be controlled within the working area based on the lamps positioning. The technology also prevents early life failure of the LEDs and ensures a stable performance.

Innovative positioning: Inspired by a construction crane and drawing board, the CSYS can be adjusted effortlessly in three axes, similar to how a cable car moves along a cable. The mechanics are designed with precision to ensure smooth, exact positioning that doesnt sag or droop after it is let go.

The name CSYS refers to the system of coordinates that defines an objects position in the X, Y and Z axis. The lamp was also featured at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair during New York Design Week this month to much acclaim for its superior functionality and sustainability.

The son of high-profile inventor James Dyson (already a household name in vacuums and fans), Jake Dyson studied Industrial Design at Central St Martins College of Art and Design and began his career designing retail interiors in shops, cafes and clubs. He later bought a mill and lathe to start experimenting and developing products, with a hands-on approach all the way through conception to a products manufacture. His studio and workshop are based in Clerkenwell in London.

A Brief History of Light Bulbs

By Rodney Munch

The along with the wheel, the light bulb is one of the worlds’ most important inventions and if you like seeing at night more than driving, then you will no doubt view the light bulb without question as THE most important.

The light bulb as we know it today is a product of the work of more than 10 notable inventors from Germany, the UK and the USA over a period of 182 years.

It all started with an English Chemist, Sir Humphry Davy in 1809 who noticed that by passing electricity from a battery though a carbon strip, it glowed. This was the making of the first arc lamp. Humphry died in 1829, around one hundred and twenty years before seeing the light bulbs he was so instrumental in inventing, light up the trenches of World War 2.

About 11 years after Davy, another English inventor, Warren De la Rue created a light tube by passing an electrical current though a platinum filament contained in an evacuated tube. While a successful model, this was highly impractical for widespread use due to the cost of the platinum filament.

In 1854, all hats in the light bulb community were off in the direction of Germany. Henricg Globel, who by profession was a watchmaker created the first true light bulb, using a carbonised bamboo filament placed in a glass bulb. The term ‘globe’ in ‘globe light bulbs’ could have possibly been named after Henricg, although I am not at liberty to say.

Another German, Herman Sprengel provided another breakthrough, inventing the mercury vacuum pump making a strong vacuum inside the bulb possible. This allows a longer life light bulb as it removes the effects of oxidation on the filament.

The most famous of all the inventors who had a hand in the development of the Light Bulb and often (wrongly) handed the crown of inventing the light bulb is the American inventor Thomas Alva Edison who went on to pioneer other notable inventions such as the phonograph and the kinetophone (talking motion picture). For involvement in the development of the light bulb he invented a carbon filament that burned for 40hrs which he put in an oxygen-less bulb. By 1880 he had managed to extend the life of his bulb to over 1200 hours using a bamboo derived filament.

Tungsten popped its head into the light bulb world in 1906 when the General Electric company of America patented their use. At the time however, these filaments were costly.

In 1910, an American Physicist by the name of William David Coolidge (or William to his friends) came up with an improved method of making the tungsten filaments. His improved method greatly extended the life of existing filaments and made them much more economical.

The light bulb as we know it was made and continues to light up the dark nights

In 1991 Phillips invented a light bulb capable of over 60,000 hours. That’s almost 7 full years of illumination. Even more if you switch it off when you go to bed.

Home Decorating With Tiffany Table Lamps Lighting

By Ryan Allen

They first thing that comes to mind when you are thinking about Tiffany lighting is bright and colorful glass, craftsman designs, and floral and insect motifs. The first Tiffany lamps and lighting where first made by a craftsman named Louis Tiffany. Louis took advantage of the times that involved when electricity was evolving in its infantry and took the knowledge from his father that was a great jewelry artisan and started creating the first beautiful Tiffany table lamps. It is quite remarkable how similar that Tiffany lighting and lamps are very similar to jewelry with their intricate and beautiful designs.

He created the stained glass in a whole spectrum of beautiful and vibrant colors. This type of glass was great for creating subtle light and adding beauty. With this new innovative design Louis began creating the first designs of Tiffany lighting. They typically incorporated a lot of craftsman style qualities such as wrought iron and metal and combined them with the beautiful pieces of glass.

He also experimented with other forms of glass and created some techniques using blown glass. He utilized a team of skilled craftsmen and glassblowers to help him make unique lamps that were treasured by people. These lamps were very expensive and a luxury item and only the wealthy and rich people could afford them in America.

Tiffany came up with a technique that was later used in all his pieces called Favrile. He later patented this technique so no one could try to recreate his designs.

Louis came up with methods that reheated glass and sprayed vaporized solution of salts of tin or iron. These solutions were absorbed into the molten glass and created layers of beautiful colors when the glass was cooled down. With these glass sheets having different colors Tiffany designed lamps in different styles and shapes. Many of his techniques are still used today and have set the standard in many glass making techniques.

The wide variety of different colors that could be made by this technique was amazing. By using different types of metal in the solutions and spraying it into the molten glass. The color was solid through the glass. Instead of a top coat finish that could wear off or discolor over time. Adding copper to the spray solution resulted in greenish blue to a rich ruby red and Cobalt to the spray solution created beautiful shades of blue Several other colors where created using a wide variety of other metals. By combining different types of metals and experimenting with firing heat and times. Tiffany was able to create a wide variety of colors and designs for his master pieces.

When this style of lamp was made by Louis. He focused on the design themes of the times with include a wide variety of natural features. Such as dragon flies and nature related designs. Many of these designs have been reproduced to look like the old Tiffany but have been made more affordable by the new manufacturing process. The dream that Tiffany had for his beautiful pieces of artwork can now be afford by almost all walks of life.
