A light hangs from the ceiling, but most of it isn’t a light at all.
This is the Cu-Beam Duo, the latest invention out of Dyson. It’s intended to be the commercial light of the future. Sipping on just 90W of power, it can shine light directly onto a table for your work, or directly onto the ceiling for a pleasantly diffused ambiance. Or it can do both at the same time in any mix that you like. And the Cu-Beam Duo can do it for a long time. The light is rated to operate for 22 years without changing the bulbs—the quality of light is promised to never waiver—which Dyson hopes will make the fixture appealing to airports, offices, and other big commercial spaces.
