Introducing the Horizon LED light by Humanscale

Now shipping! The Horizon light carries a 2 - 4 week lead time.

The Humanscale Horizon light is the latest in innovative LED lighting technology from Humanscale. The first task light to feature Thin Film Technology™, the Horizon LED light boasts a surprisingly wide footprint of warm, white 3000K light while consuming just 9 watts. Like the Humanscale Element 790, the Horizon LED light features a dimmer for ultimate adjustability and energy-savings.

50,000 hours - the life span of the Element LED. That's the equivalent of 25 years of use in a standard office environment! And, if needed, the LED assembly can easily be replaced to further extend the life of the light.

To make Mother Earth smile, the Horizon LED light is constructed of 95% recycled content. The components are also 99% recyclable and it is shipped in 70% recycled packaging. The Humanscale Horizon LED light can help any project achieve a number of LEED-CI, -NC, and -EB credits.

• Single, even light source creates a single shadow
• Dimmer controls for seven different light levels
• Neutral 3000 K white light

Seeing the Light

Did you know that lighting accounts for nearly half the energy used by commercial buildings? At that rate, it’s no wonder the cost of powering an office building is so staggering.

Energy-efficient task lighting offers a solution. In addition to providing an excellent source of ergonomic light, task lights can help reduce energy use and costs. So not only can your employees work more productively with better light, you can shrink your carbon footprint while making a difference where it’s felt the most—on the bottom line.
 

Energy Efficiency

Humanscale task lights use only LED and compact fluorescent (CFL) light sources, which are far more cost- and energy-efficient than comparable incandescent bulbs. CFLs use 25% of the energy of incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer, while the latest LEDs use as little as 10% of the energy and last up to 60 times longer than incandescents.

Single-source vs. Dual-source Lighting

Overhead lighting is one of the biggest culprits of energy consumption. By placing energy-efficient task lights at every workstation, overhead lighting levels can generally be reduced, slashing energy use and costs. In fact, research has shown that a dual-source lighting system can reduce energy consumption by as much as 67%. That profound energy savings can reduce a building's overall energy use by as much as 25%. Less energy for lighting means lower operating costs, not to mention less pollution, and that's a benefit for everyone involved.
