Light has unique properties that can change one’s mood, ignite the development of new ideas and enrich moments to be shared and remembered. In honor of this, we created a high performance LED task light that is beautiful, affordable and highly functional… The Fade Task Light. The Fade Task Light works in any environment – home, office and all the spaces in between. It is fluid and adaptable with an articulated arm that can be smoothly adjusted 120º yet remains firmly in position when posed.

The intuitive dimmer and color temperature slider control on the iron base allows the light output to be precisely set to the perfect color and luminosity, and an integrated USB port in the base keeps your mobile devices charged and ready to go. 

Aside from the light quality itself, we find that motion and flexibilty are the most important factors in the world of task lighting. The problem with traditional task lights is that pivoting hinges are difficult to positon and often losten up or break over time. Recognizing that the hinge is the most essential, but also one of the most problematic components of a task light, we set out to design a lamp arm and hinge that approached these issues in a new way. 

Utilizing a sheet metal construction, the solution is able to unite the arm and hinges as a single part. Not only is the construction strong, light weight, and extremely flexible, but also significantly cuts down on the amount of material, processes and assembly used to manufacture conventional task lights.

The Fade Task Light is available in four unique color and die cut pattern configurations that were inspired by light and the organic patterns they can create.

Working with the team at Boxclever, I was responsible for the early concept, concept development and refinement on this program. I saw the concept through from the first sketch to prototypes, model making, CAD, and up to the final details including hole patterns and CMF.
