Product Story
Flute was designed by Tom Newhouse to be flexible, versatile, compatible, economical. And with its LED technology, 85% recyclability, 24-year life span, and cost of about $1.13 to use it for a whole year, Flute leaves a minuscule carbon footprint on the earth. Weighing in at just two pounds, this task light, part of The Be Collection, also leaves a small footprint on your desk. And it's home-grown: made in the USA.
Bright Light, Big Value
Flute saves you money in all kinds of ways. It uses the latest in LED technology to provide high-quality light output while consuming 30-50+% less energy than traditional task lights, generating 31 lumens per watt of energy consumed.
Flute's LED chips require no bulb replacement or service over the estimated 24-year life span with average use. So you also save big on small maintenance costs.
More Light on any Subject
Flute provides 160 lumens of light. Translation: That's a lot of light. Just what you need in a task light. Medium-warm light, which is friendly to your eyes.
The freestanding lamp has a head that swivels 230 degrees from left to right, so you can focus the light where you need it easily. A 360-degree rotating clamp mount option provides the maximum flexibility in light placement.
Light on Its Feet
User-friendly in all kinds of ways, including what it weighs: two pounds for the freestanding model, 1 1/2 pounds for the clamp-mount option. Touch to turn on or off. And with its integrated heat sink, Flute stays cool to the touch, so if you want to pick it up and move it, you won't get burned.
Three color choices: metallic silver, graphite, and white.
Earth-Friendly
Flute lights the way toward a cleaner earth in every way—from manufacture to shipping to use to recycling. Flute is made of 36% recycled material. At the end of its useful life, you can disassemble Flute easily and recycle 85% of it.
Flute reduces energy consumption by 40 to 50%, compared to traditional bulbs, and emits no carbon dioxide, mercury, or sulfur, as traditional light bulbs do. Developed in accordance with Herman Miller's Design for the Environment (DfE) protocol, Flute contributes to LEED points.
Designed by Tom Newhouse, Flute embodies two of Tom's passions—the study of emerging office issues and the implementation of green design concepts. Flute can be used in any work environment as a freestanding lamp or with a surface mount. It uses the latest in LED technology to provide high-quality light output.
Manufactured from 36% recycled material, Flute consumes 30 to 50+% less energy than traditional task lights. It uses only a total of 5.2 watts of energy to provide 31 lumens per watt and has a life span of more than 60,000 hours (24 years with average use). At the end of its useful life, it is 85% recyclable.
