Halley Adjustable LED Silver Finish Desk Lamp

by Lightolier

Product Description

A sculptural look is achieved with the inventive counterbalanced construction of this desk lamp design from Richard Sapper. The movement is fluid and each point pivots for maximum mobility. Utilizing LED semiconductors typically found in traffic lights allows the LEDs to have a predicted lifespan of some 50,000 hours. The technology used in laptops to cool microchips is employed to allow for the extremely thin head. Heat from the LEDs is carried by a pipe to a series of thin aluminum fins, which are cooled by a fan. The fluid, flexible movement and high-tech beauty of this desk lamp can be appreciated for years to come.

This review is from: Halley Adjustable LED Silver Finish Desk Lamp (Misc.)

This is a beautiful and highly functional lamp. The mechanical design is remarkable and allows the lighting head to be placed almost anywhere (within range of the base) at any angle with very little effort. The light intensity is adjustable from fairly low to blazing high.

The only negatives I can dredge up are 1) the on/off/intensity control is inconveniently located on the base and 2) there is some fan noise coming from the lighting head. I also have some concern about how I will replace the fan when it inevitably wears out.

I picked up one of these new on eBay a few years ago for about $250. The seller had two or three units and I deeply regret not having bought all of them. I haven't even seen this lamp for sale in many years. Even at this price, I am seriously considering buying another one.
