Flos - oplight w1 white

Oplight is Jasper Morrison’s latest design for Flos. It represents a step forward in the development of wall lights, a family of lamps that it is difficult to innovate, for a variety of reasons. A lighting object that actually illuminates a whole room rather than a mere path marker, Oplight is a future-proof lamp, conceived to last a long time and to be thoroughly recyclable at its end-of-life. Oplight is the demonstration that it is possible to create a technologically advanced product that respects the environment. 1_it does not use glues Despite it minimal thicknesses, no glue was used to assemble the components: the parts are separable, can be replaced individually and can be recycled separately at the end of life. 2_it uses recyclable and non-toxic materials The shell is made of die-cast aluminum: a light material, which lasts over time, and is perfectly recyclable. The applied color is powder, therefore without the use of solvents in the painting process: an important detail because production methods must be considered in the overall environmental impact of a product. 3_it limits consumption and has a replaceable LED board The LED board inside Oplight has a high efficiency: it emits a large amount of light with a low consumption, with an estimated life of over fifty thousand hours. In the event that a fault should occur, or when more efficient light sources will be available in the future, the card can be replaced without having to throw away the rest of the lamp, with a significant saving of resources. This is possible because the LED board is not glued to the heatsink, as often happens: the replacement operation therefore does not require sophisticated equipment but can be carried out by any electrician. 4_it has a push-in diffuser The diffuser, or the transparent cover which also acts as a lens, is made of injection-molded polycarbonate. Thanks to its elasticity, it is fixed with snap-fit so that it can be disassembled and reassembled to intervene on the board, without compromising aesthetics. Obviously, in case of breakage, it is recyclable and replaceable. Materials: aluminium, polycarbonate Light Source: W1: LED Module 16W 1290lm 2700K CRI90 dimmable triac
