Dyson has turned its attention to lighting technology and applied the same engineering principles to make things work properly and better – and as a result they’ve released the Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk Light.
The Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk Light is the latest product in its lighting portfolio and can imitate daylight from dawn till dusk as well as delivering light in four different ways – indirect, direct for a task, as a feature light or as an ambient light.
And it can all be controlled via the MyDyson app.
“With the Dyson Solarcycle Morph, our aim was to challenge the fundamental conventions of contemporary artificial lighting and find a solution,” says Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer.
“So we developed a light that tracks natural day light and intelligently transforms for different uses – providing the right light, at the right time, precisely where it’s needed.”
The light has 360-degree manoeuvrability to provide the right kind of light when and where it’s needed.
The key feature of the Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk is its ability to imitate natural light in different formats using Dyson’s daylight tracking algorithm add three warm and three cool LEDs.
This allows the Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk to adjust its colour temperature and brightness in direct relation to the local daylight based on the user’s location.
As an indirect light, the Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk has an intelligent optical head that can rotate 360-degrees and bounce light off walls, floor and ceiling.
As a task light, it provides a powerful light whether you’re working, spending time on your hobbies, applying makeup or any other task.
It emits a high intensity pool of light with a CRI colour-rendering index of 90 and above which is near daylight quality.
The Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk Light can also be used as a feature light to create dramatic effects including highlighting art and other features in your home and can be precisely positioned using the three point revolve motion.
As an ambient light, it can create a comforting orange glow and, for the evening, also provide relaxation with reduced blue light.
The Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk Light intelligent optical head produces uniform high quality light with low flicker.
The MyDyson app can also adjust the light based on your age.
According to Dyson’s own research, a 65 year old needs up to four times more light than a 20 year old and can provide the correct brightness based on your age when entered into the app.
Users can also access the preset modes which are: study, relax, precision, boost, wake up, sleep and away.
There are also manual controls with a slide touch dimming and colour temperature selection which allows users to create their own personal lighting preferences.
Users can pre-programme and assign names for up to 20 different light settings to suit their mood or the task at hand.
The Dyson Solarcycle Morph Desk Light is available from today in either white or silver and is priced at $899.
