Because the lighting design of 60 years ago abandoned is back

Guide language: in recent years, LED lights became the star of the lighting industry, it is famous for its safety, environmental protection, high efficiency and energy saving. The LED light source of electric energy into light energy at about 30%, while the traditional incandescent lamp only 2 to 3% of the electric energy into light energy ( Visible part) 。 Some high-end lighting company started to update the original product, adaptation design listed again.

many great invention in the beginning of the design is not recognized and accepted by the society, radar lamp ( Taccia

Lamp) Is one of them. This original design failure owing to limit of the technology, until now the reconstruction light day, and that between spent almost 60 years. Fastcodesign reported, in 1958, the genius of two Italian designer PierGiacomo and Achille

Castiglioni, designed the radar desk lamp the first prototype of the lamp. The appearance of lamps with metal base and semicircle of chimney, the design feels extremely the appearance looks like radar, so called radar desk lamp. In the original design draft, compared to shoot the lamp to the polymer concentration of lights, designers tend to allow the downy lamplight illuminate surroundings. So they choose to use a plastic mask material, on the base. Design into the metal corrugated cylinder and base, in order to make the light bulb has better heat dissipation. Unfortunately, the heat of the bulb more highly than they thought, used as a mask of plastic soon melted by heat. The mask can only be used for glass and aluminium plates to complete, this design is put into production in 1962. Until recent years, LED lights became the star of the lighting industry, it is famous for its safety, environmental protection, high efficiency and energy saving. The LED light source of electric energy into light energy at about 30%, while the traditional incandescent lamp only 2 to 3% of the electric energy into light energy ( Visible part) 。 Some high-end lighting company started to update the original product, adaptation design listed again. In the production of radar lamp Flos company also meet this trend, ready to use leds to replace the original products of light bulb. In 2010, Flos company plans to update the radar desk lamp. But when they opened the radar lamp design draft, was found that the radar lamp design concept is originally prepared for LED lights. Due to the low calorific value

LED lights, the heat of the plastic can bear it. Out of loyalty for the manuscript, Flos company decided to use plastic as a mask of the manuscript. However, it was found that although the light transmittance of plastic and glass is similar, but unfortunately, the use of plastic, the longer it is caused by ultraviolet radiation, the easier it is to turn yellow color. So they decided to use a new type of material -- — PMMA( Poly (methyl methacrylate) , commonly known as organic glass, it is so far in the synthesis of transparent material quality of a material is the most excellent, the price is relatively cheap. However, even with the relatively cheap material, as a high-end lighting brand of Flos, price is not cheap. The radar lamp will be available in September. Coordinating editor: YingZi
