Tasteful OLED Chandelier Design Shapes A Cooler Environment

OLEDs – Organic LEDs are another reason for us to see a brighter future. Here we have an excellent company, WAC Lighting, producing an impressive yet unobtrusively eye-catching chandelier design with simple flowing, almost leaf-like lines or forked branches that hold OLED panels. The panels are slightly angled away from straight down to cover and light up a large area. Remember that generally LEDs are primarily uni-directional, which has additional energy saving connotations since you can direct the light to where you want it. The light given is a high quality white light and this mini-chandelier will certainly catch the attention.

SOL Chandelier Responsible Lighting

WAC Lighting have produced their Responsible Lighting line and produced a couple of noted products last year. My immediate response to the present OLED chandelier is positive, however I do expect to have reservations about the likely high price of this “luxury” product. The company do say that the design is also to inspire and demonstrate to other companies what is possible within this rapidly developing new lighting technology. They have already established itself as a market leader in environmentally innovative light design. It has been announced that hey will be receiving the LaGuardia Community College Foundation 2010 award for Innovative Leadership next month.

Earlier Innovative Designs

You can see their earlier diminutive sized products here – a 6 paneled wall sconce and another simple mini-chandelier. Both of these were first released in May 2009.

The Organic Light Emitting Diode (or sometimes diode is referred to as Device) – OLED incorporates a thin film display panel – a technology often found in small-screen devices such as cell phones over the last decade.

The screen technology consists of layering organic or non-organic material with minute electrodes. Glass was the preferred medium, though now a variety of flexible plastics are gaining popularity. Their design specs include high lumens/watt output, a wider and increasing range of color to their light panels, wide viewing angle and ultra-thin, ultra light-weight possibilities in addition to their already very economic thickness and weight.
