The Coral Light is an LED lamp inspired by the exquisite corals of the ocean. Imitating how natural coral reflects rays of light through the sea’s surface, the Coral Light creates a visually mesmerizing effect as it sits on a table, ceiling or floor. Thanks to a special light diffusion technique, the light emitted by the LED bulbs is evenly distributed through to the edge of each diffuser.

Inspired by the player piano, this LED Piano Light allows users to tickle the “ivories” of the light as if they were playing a grand concert. Designed to take advantage of the LED light’s low-temperature characteristic, Piano Light’s surface can be touched without causing burns. Not only is it fun to play with, but it also provides sufficient illumination for reading. With an unconventional aesthetic, coupled with an fun, interactive interface, this light is a playful way to provide entertaining and eco-friendly lighting in your home!

The Seagull Light is a LED table lamp that takes the form of a flying seagull and functions similarly too. With two knobs on the main body – the front one for adjusting brightness and the back for adjusting lighting angles – the “wings” change positions in tandem with any lighting adjustments, in turn imitating a seagull flapping its wings as it soars into the sky. Utilizing efficient LEDs, the bulbs consume much less energy than traditional lighting sources, yet provide the perfect amount of illumination whether for ambient lighting or more intense reading light.

Two of the best ways to keep your energy bill low is to stick with LED bulbs and to only use as much light as you need - simple enough ideas, no? As obvious as these thoughts may be, these green gestures often evade many. A response hot on the idea of straightforward]]>

Two of the best ways to keep your energy bill low is to stick with LED bulbs and to only use as much light as you need – simple enough ideas, no? As obvious as these thoughts may be, these green gestures often evade many. A response hot on the idea of straightforward conservation, QisDesign created the Coral Reef Light - an eco-friendly LED floor lamp, featuring three overlapping lighting layers, each of which can be activated independently with a simple swivel. And unlike energy-hungry halogen towers that have been known to harbor fire safety issues, the LEDs in this lamp not only boast a small size, but their inherently low temperature make maneuvering the piece around the house more than easy. Inspired by the natural coral reefs in the sea, this beautiful lamp is to perfect way to add adjustable, ambient light to any room!
