Traditional reading lights are often serpentine eyesores that appear to channel the ghosts of external computer microphones or clunky bookmarks, but Masiosare Studio [4]‘s Flaca LED lamp [5] offers those who clamor for a more streamlined solution a sustainable way to indulge in pulp pleasures. The Flaca (which translates to “skinny” in Spanish) illuminates pages utilizing a 6-watt LED lamp, which consumes about one-fourth the energy of an incandescent bulb.
Masiosare Studio [4], a Mexican industrial design company, prides itself on its innovation. While the price ($74 [5]) may seem like some serious green to dole out for a booklight, it is the product’s bold and quality design that makes it worth the cost. The main structure of the light is composed entirely of stainless steel, and its razor-thin, rectangular coils unfurl to achieve a maximum extension of 14 inches.
Between its low-energy consumption [6], limited material waste, and sharp minimalist aesthetic, the Flaca LED Light offers environmentally-conscious readers a sustainable alternative to contemporary incandescent reading lights.
