Lederam C2 from Catellani & Smith

You would have never thought that technology could compete with nature! But you must change your mind looking at the strange ‘total eclipse’ manufactured by Enzo Catellani using a small microchip - a LED. This light is able to produce the same feeling as if you were looking at the moon. It is a collection realized to save energy. It offers LED technology at mains voltage without the need for a transformer and is also dimmable. It is a 17W LED module with an output of 1.300 lumen, which corresponds to approximately 80W of the old linear halogen lamp. Using several modules, 5.000 lumens can be achieved, which is equivalent to approximately 250W of the old halogen bulbs. These LEDs have a life of approximately 30.000 hours and can be replaced. Therefore, in addition to having a long life and achieving savings in energy, they also have lower maintenance costs. It is a highly technological and minimal collection, completed with thin discs made with copper leaf, a warm, soft colour, which could be said ‘the gold of the third Millennium’. And just looking at one of these objects composed by two overlapping and moveable discs that I immediately thought to the moon. The collection includes three wall lamps, two ceiling lamps and two floor lamps.
