Motorlight, the first variable angle uplight, enables users to vary the angles of light to suit different environment and needs – from ambient light to spotlighting. It can be set to a precise angle of light, or can be activated to cycle through, continually adjusting angles to enhance the mood of the environment. The fixture is available in both floor and wall sconce models, and provides a fluid cycle of ambient to spot lighting, due to the luminaire’s motor function.
Motorlight Floor, the first personification of the Motorlight idea, measures 14 inches in height and expands to 17 inches. It uses a 100W halogen source, which is manually operated with a pause option that allows light to be fixed or dimmed.
Motorlight Wall, the second series of the Motorlight idea, stands eight inches tall and has a width of four inches. It is remote-controlled, completely DMX-programmable, and uses a 75W halogen lamp which is outfitted to incorporate solid-state lighting as LED technology advances. A single remote can control up to 30 fixtures. Dyson and his team spent months working on a complicated motorized shutter for the fixture that allows the beam angle to change from 10 to 120 degrees during a 45 second cycle. A special gasket ensures fluid and uninterrupted movement so there is no ‘light shake’.
The Motorlight range features colors, including white gloss, black gloss, red glow, blue glow, and clear glow.
The Motorlight was launched at the Pomegranate Gallery in New York City, during the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF).
