Thonet launches LUM floor lamp
Published: 12-Oct-2010
German furniture company Thonet has unveiled LUM floor lamp, the latest addition to its steel tube product range.
LUM is designed by Ulf Möller as a reading lamp featuring a sleep function that automatically switches off the light after two hours. A night-light that conceals the chromed steel tube in a subdued glow during the night, and a memory function that recalls the most recently used dimming level when switching on the lamp, are also featured.
One of the most distinct features of the lamp is that the user can switch the lamp on and off by simply moving his hand along the lighting head. Controlling the lamp is not achieved by touching the light head, but by a 'back-reflection' into the lamp. This allows changing the lamp's position and re-adjusting the focus of light without confusing the control mechanism. LUM can be used in a range of flexible ways thanks to its low weight. The lighting head can also be adjusted using a 340 degrees swivel joint, which allows an individual and flexible scattering of light.
An infrared sensor in the lighting head provides an additional safety feature. It continuously monitors the temperature and automatically dims the light when the temperature gets above 50C.
LUM is available in heights of 110 and 125cm and is designed for indoor use. Eight highly efficient, warm-white power LED bulbs create a pleasant, comfortable light with a colour temperature between 2800-3200 K. In addition to the LUM 110 and LUM 125 floor lamps, further designs of the chromed tubular steel lamp are planned by Thonet.
