Oplight LED W2 Wall light - / Large by Flos Silver/Metal

Designed by Jasper Morrison, the Oplight wall light combines reduced dimensions with impeccable lines. It consists of a wall bracket that supports a thin, ovoid-shaped, flattened diffuser-tray that lights upwards. A true exercise in simplicity, the Oplight wall light complements the architecture and spaces it illuminates. He was awestruck by this object in the making and decided to rework the project alongside Flos, taking care above all to keep the simplicity of line as well as its use, so dear to Pio Manzù. Oplight demonstrates that state-of-the-art products can be manufactured with respect for the environment. Although the thicknesses are minimal, no glue was used to assemble the different parts, which can therefore be separated, replaced individually and recycled separately, depending on the material. The shell is made of die-cast aluminium, a material that’s light, durable and easy to recycle. The powder coating doesn’t contain harmful solvents. Oplight's LED light source is very efficient, that is, it emits a large amount of light in relation to the power consumed, with a lifespan of over 50,000 hours. In the event of a malfunction, or later when more efficient light sources become available, the LED board can be replaced without having to throw away the rest of the lamp, with significant savings in terms of resources. This is possible because the LED board isn’t glued to the heat dissipater as usually happens, and its replacement doesn’t require sophisticated equipment. The transparent diffuser, which also acts as a lens, is made of injection-moulded polycarbonate. Highly flexible, it can be removed and reinstalled to access the LED light source. For all these reasons, Oplight is a future-proof lamp destined to last a long time. Jasper Morrison: “I like the idea that you can use Oplight in a wide variety of spaces and situations. Hopefully, this light will turn out to be ‘Super Normal’ in the sense that it creates a pleasant ambiance without being overbearing or even noticeable. ”.
