Ninety
luxous.com Featuring LED technology, Luxo touts Ninety as “the world’s most energy-efficient task light.” A spring-balanced hinge in the base of the lamp allows the arm to move back and forth, and the shade also is easy to turn, which allows users to direct the light where it is needed. The LEDs used have a life span of 45,000 hours, which means the light source will last 25 years with normal office use. With only four high-power LEDs at 1.4W each, Ninety provides 100 footcandles at a height of 16 inches above the work surface.
