Like a spindly steel insect, the Rima Light from Dreipuls stalks your desk and plants its legs amongst the detritus carelessly strewn thereon. Unlike an insect (unless it’s a giant, adjustable firefly), the Rima Light also offers ingeniously adjustable illumination.
The four legged structure suspends a semi-cylindrical “bulb” which runs the length of your desk. This bulb has four rings circling it, and these rings form the bounds of the lit part of the tube. Thus you can slide them to light up the whole length of the Rima, or you can have two any-sized sections. Thus you could avoid shining light onto the super-reflective screen of a MacBook, or just opt for small pools of light when working into the night – just enough to spotlight your glass of whisky and your ashtray, and no more.
The Rima has picked up a Red Dot design award, which pretty much always means that the product is both great-looking and works well (I have a Red Dot-winning food-processor from Kenwood and it kicks ass and takes names).
The aluminum and plastic lamp uses 65 LEDs and sucks 10-Watts of power (on a 220-Volt supply). It weighs in at a satisfyingly stable 750-grams and measures 800 x 410 x 130mm (that’s 31.5-inches long). It is also, criminally, not yet for sale.
