To create his award-winning LED lamp, the Link Task, Peter Stathis modernized the classic pantograph task lamp by simplifying its mechanical complexity without sacrificing performance. Link Technology:
Link's conductive aluminum skin efficiently delivers power without any internal wiring. 18 high-power LEDs and advanced solid-state chip-on-board technology, afford a brighter light output than any other popular LED desk lamp currently available. Link Sustainability:
Link is an efficient, sustainable, cradle-to-cradle design. Clean manufacturing make it European RoHS compliant, and it also surpasses all upcoming California energy mandate standards. The high-power LED array functions with very low electrical consumption. At full power, Link consumes merely only 9W, or 97% less energy than a task lamp using a comparable incandescent light bulb. Additionally, it has an operational lifespan of 50,000 hours, or a minimum of 15-20 years when used daily. Designed for easy disassembly of minimal component parts enables reclamation and recycling, Link is an efficient, sustainable, cradle-to-cradle design. As in many of Stathis' designs, great attention was placed on efficiency, both in conceptualizing the design as well as in its material realization. By utilizing the minimum number of component parts (all purposed for more than one function), and reducing their overall mass to only that which is deemed essential, a behind-the-scenes goal of hyper-efficient manufacturing and best environmental stewardship is achieved.
