The Electra Floor lamp is designed to meet the needs of any task or creative endeavour. All controls are located at the end of the shade to make them easy to locate and access. The controls are tactile and provide haptic feedback, therefore you know when you have used them without having to look directly at the light. When in the middle of a project or task you don’t want to be distracted or inconvenienced by having to find and reach out to adjust your lamp, with this in mind the Daylight Company have incorporated the controls into the most easily located part of the lamp, the end of the shade. Controls on the Electra are intuitive and simple to use, the controls also click when pressed so you can feel and hear when you have turned the lamp on or changed a setting. The lamp remembers the settings from when it was last used so you don’t need to cycle through all the colour temperature and brightness options to get to your favourite. Glare has a more pronounced effect when concentrating on a task, for this reason the Electra has a shade designed to protect a user’s eyes and when the lamp is turned on it gradually builds to full brightness, which is also to minimise the effect of glare. The Electra has three points of articulation and a long reach so you can position the light wherever it is needed. The shade can rotate 360 degrees enabling the light to be both a task lamp and an uplighter. With a reach that is much longer than other floor lamps the Electra will easily bring perfect to where you need it, whether you need it to reach over an armchair or to the opposite side of a desk the Electra has it covered. With 3 colour temperatures the Electra is suitable for any task, any mood, any time of day. Daylight replicating LEDs provide true colour matching, reduce eyestrain, and improve contrast. Warmer light temperatures provide a more relaxing feel for when the lamp is not being used for a task but as background lighting instead. Colour rendition index (CRI) is a measure which demonstrates how accurately and clearly a lamp can show colours. Have you ever looked at something illuminated by a synthetic light and noticed that the colour is different from when it’s in sunlight, this is an example of a light with a low CRI rating? The colour rendition index is on a scale out of 100, if a lamp effects the colour you see then it will have a low CRI rating of 70 or below. The Electra has a CRI score of 95+, with this excellent quality of light the colours you see with the Electra will be perfect with no deviation from how they are seen in sunlight. A high CRI score is essential for anyone who wants to use the Electra for an arts and crafts hobby or someone who just wants to make sure that what they see with a synthetic light is the same as what they see in daylight.
