London Design Festival: industrial designer Jake Dyson presented an LED task light with a heat-pipe cooling system at designjunction last week.
The CSYS light is inspired by construction cranes.
A copper pipe conducts heat away from the light source, ensuring greater longevity and brightness from the high intensity LEDs.
The lamp is adjustable on three axis and includes a touch-sensitive dimmer switch with light level memory.

Here are some more details from the designer:
Heat technology makes the new CSYS LED desk light cool
On 21 September 2011, Jake Dyson will launch the new CSYS LED task light at designjunction, during London Design Festival. The CSYS LED task light is a dimmable LED lamp that marries the latest technology with sleek design and also addresses environmental concerns. Jake Dyson and his team have considered current issues with existing LED lights and CFLs (energy saving lights), and are proud to present CSYS as the solution. The CSYS LED task light features a clever application of heat pipe technology that will ensure sustainable quality performance of the LEDs for over 160,000 hours continual use, which equates to up to 37 years. This technology maintains the quality of the light and good colour rendition, for a vastly increased lifespan.
Jake Dyson says “There is a discernible lack of reliability and innovation in existing LED desk lights. Current issues in this area include: poor heat management; weak light distribution; light colour erosion; and a lack of comfortable, warm white colour. This is making consumers and industry alike cautious about committing to this technology in lighting. We have managed to address all of these problems and believe that CSYS will truly change people’s minds about LED lighting.”
CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) are the energy saving option that the government recommends, but they have inherent problems such as mercury content, health and landfill disposal issues. CSYS will provide a cleaner more sustainable mode of lighting, by using the latest high intensity warm white LEDs with a clever cooling system to keep them running brightly and efficiently, for a much longer life span – in fact, for life. The CSYS LED desk light requires no replacement bulbs, has no mercury content and therefore reduces environmental damage. And at only 8W the CSYS task light is five times more energy efficient than a comparable halogen bulb.
The new light also promises flexible and precise light direction as it adjusts smoothly and effortlessly through three axes. It challenges the status quo of mechanical movement of existing lighting. The spread and the intensity of light can be controlled to your working area and its optical design minimises glare.
The CSYS LED desk light remains true to Jake Dyson’s desire for well-considered, highly engineered and beautifully structured design, as well as his obsession with visual motion mechanics. It is the result of 18 months of research and development into thermal management systems in order to bring the heat pipe technology used in satellites and processor chips to LED lighting, with huge benefits.
CSYS will be available from Jake Dyson Products direct – go to www.jakedyson.com. And also from respected design and lighting retailers – contact us for further details.

Start home gardens right with a foolproof kit for cultivating plants
Do you long for homegrown tomatoes but lack the space and green thumb? Fertile Earth has a solution. Their Simple Garden Starter Kit, devised in collaboration with the product designers at Provo, UT studio Rocketship, introduces an idiot-proof set-up to home gardening, whether urban or suburban.
The 2010 IDEA-winner comes with everything but water, including a special blend of organic planting soil, seed packets, a planting template, a planting stick and a guide to cultivating hearty crops. But the container design is key too, boosting plant growth by improving air flow, water circulation and nutrient absorption.
To make at-home gardens even easier, Fertile Earth makes LiteStik and WaterStik, two clever production aids. WaterStik detects moisture in the soil, letting you know whether it’s time to water or you’ve watered too much with a multicolored LED, while LiteStik also uses LED technology to supplement natural light.
The Kit ($30), Junior Herb Garden ($15), LiteStik ($30) and WaterStik ($16) all sell online from Simple Garden.
New York designer Bec Brittain has created this lamp made from LED tubes for American brand Matter.
Called SHY Light, the piece comprises a traingulated network of LED tubes and rods that can be configured into a pendant or floor lamp.
Here are some more details from Matter:
SHY Light by Bec Brittain
Matter is pleased to present SHY Light, a new modular LED light fixture from designer and artist Bec Brittain.
The light is the visually arresting confluence of Brittain’s close study of crystalline forms and her work experience as a lighting designer.
Thin crisscrossing LED tubes define the triangulated patterns of the chandelier.
The modular system allows for a number of configurations such as a ceiling light, floor lamp or even a sconce.

Paris-inspired booties and an LED watch from a sixth-generation Berlin shoe brand
Known for inventing four-in-one and two-in-one zipper shoes, Munich’s Nat-2 shows a simpler side of shoe design with their new desert boot-inspired line created just for girls. The suede Marais booties, named after the Parisian neighborhood, combine classic French subtlety with a flexible fit.
At the helm of Nat-2 is creative director Sebastian Thies, whose extensive know-how is due in part to his family’s storied history as innovative shoemakers. Originally founded by “Ferdinand Fischer” in 1856, the company folded during WWII, but was resurrected by Ingeborg Thies, Sebastian’s grandfather and a Fischer by birth. The company was renamed Thies-Fischer KG in 1949 and now produces several brands alongside Nat-2.
In addition to their new streamlined shoe, Nat-2 recently introduced “Time”—a collection of plastic watches that reflect the pared-down aesthetic of the more grown-up streetwear scene. The patented 42 LED scroll system that lights the entire watch face up as each minute passes strikes a balance between the “keep it fresh, keep it classy” style that Sebastian has curated over the last three years. Perfect for the quantum computer nerd, the watch comes in several different colors including olive and purple.
The Nat-2 Time and Marais sell from the Nat-2 online shop as well as from retailers around the world.

Small batch HDTVs from a company subverting the mass-production model
If there’s such a thing as an artisanal television brand, NuVision is it. The makers of high-caliber flatscreens steer clear of mass production, preferring instead to individually source their materials and limit their quantity in favor of maintaining the finest quality. I’ve been testing the Superslim55 for the last few months and have been really impressed with the contrast, color quality and overall visual performance.
Their manufacturing process is akin to that of assembling a hand-crafted watch. NuVision chooses software complementary to the hardware components carefully culled from a variety of high-end suppliers and painstakingly calibrates both grayscale and color using a Tristimulus Colorimeter. Proprietary “videophile” algorithms lead to seamless motion and natural general performance, and an automatically adjusted LCD backlight according to the onscreen imagery lends itself to an incredible sense of depth. Not only do slimmer-than-super-slim profiles allow NuVision televisions to blend neatly into their surroundings, but the recently introduced U Color Service provides users the option of selecting the TV’s bezel color, matchable to any paint, swatch, or shade in the Pantone scale.
NuVision televisions also represent the best in green technology. The use of LED means that their TVs require 40% less power than comparable CCFL models and are both mercury and lead-free, but NuVision takes eco-friendly a step further by using only recyclable materials in their products, removing and recycling the televisions at the end of their life-spans. A two-year in-home warranty guarantees unparalleled service with the purchase of any NuVision HDTV.
The full line of NuVision electronics sell on their site. They are meant to be procured through high-end audio-visual specialists and as such, the set-up can be a little complicated for the sub-technophile, but the picture quality is well worth the effort.
