irilla: A Twist on the Go Task Lamp

Efficiency and Flexibility Combined with Minimalistic Design

Gone are the conventional means of switching lamps and burning the midnight candle. Inspired by the human iris, irilla is a twist on the go task lamp that helps you work efficiently and more focused. With its minimal design flow and innovative functionality, this lamp is a game-changer in the world of lighting.

Designed by Vimal C, irilla is a task lamp that not only provides the utmost flexibility in directing light to the user but also incorporates a hint of near-future interaction. The lamp's functionality is inspired by the iris, replacing the conventional on/off switch with a twist to illuminate mechanism. By simply twisting the lamp head, users can control the intensity and direction of the light, creating a personalized lighting experience.

One of the key features of irilla is its minimalistic design. The sleek, modern body is made of anodized aluminum with a clear matte finish, giving it a rough metal feel. The arm of the lamp relies on precise metal tubing, adding to its overall aesthetic appeal. The aperture, which resembles a camera iris, is made of black-coated steel sheet, providing a raw and futuristic look.

What sets irilla apart from other task lamps is its innovative technology. The lamp incorporates a microcontroller core with seven surface mount device LEDs and an infrared proximity sensor embedded on the printed circuit board. The position of the aperture is sensed by the infrared proximity sensors, which then illuminates the LEDs accordingly. To enhance the lifespan of the LEDs, a heat sink is mounted on them, reducing the junction temperature.

With a lamp shade diameter of 90mm and a lamp base diameter of 150mm, irilla is compact yet powerful. Its metal tube arms, with a thickness of 12mm and lengths of 450mm and 600mm respectively, provide stability and flexibility. The lamp's technical specifications are carefully designed to ensure optimal performance and user satisfaction.

Irilla is not just a functional lighting solution; it is a piece of art that adds elegance to any workspace. Its unique design and innovative technology have earned it recognition in the design community. In 2017, irilla was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon outstanding and creatively ingenious designs that contribute to quality of life improvements.

With irilla, Vimal C has successfully combined form and function, creating a task lamp that is not only visually appealing but also enhances productivity and comfort. Say goodbye to conventional switches and embrace the future of lighting with irilla.
