The Motorlight Concept
The creation of the Motorlight was born from the frustration that there was no flexibility in angle adjustment of uplighters. Previously, the only option for consumers was to buy a spotlight or a floodlight light bulb. Jake's design gives flexibility and the function to select angles of light anywhere between those extremes.
In this market of contempory lighting, aesthetics is normally the strongest driving force behind a product. There is less attention to the function of the light emitted. The Motorlight products combine two things; the serious function of angle adjustability and uplighting with a pure sculptural moving form that demonstrates how the product works functionally.
During prototype testing and running of the motors with the product, the movement of light inspired the secondary mood lighting function. This was discovered accidentally but has consequently broadened the creative possibilities of both products.
There is a motor inside the products which drives the mechanism. By incorporating the movement of the motor, the products allow for a precise selection of angles within a very smooth mechanical action.
Motorlight Floor
The Motorlight Floor allows the user to adjust the beam angle between 8 and 60 degrees, from a tight spotlight to a wide flood of light. As the aluminium wheel at the front of the luminaire rotates, the outer reflector raises and lowers, thus increasing and decreasing the width of the beam. The angle can be fixed using the motor-pause switch control at the back of the product, or set to continually move through the varying angles displaying a mesmerising show of cyclical waves of light spreading throughout the room.
Motorlight Wall
The Motorlight Wall can be appointed singularly or as a series. The user can choose a beam of between 10 and 120 degrees, providing a tught beam or wide wash of light to suit different illumination purposes and create varying environments. It is operated via a remote control which can power up to 30 lights simultaneously, allowing you to control the angle of light emitted and brightness on each luminaire, individually or as a group.
