Megaman, a leading provider of innovative, energy efficient LED lamp technology, has announced that it has partnered with British designer Tom Dixon to shape the future of decorative lighting. Megaman is working with Tom Dixon to pave the way towards innovative, energy efficient and sustainable lighting. The first step in this partnership saw Tom Dixon present a selection of the 2013 lighting collection using the latest in high performance LED technology from Megaman at MOST 2013 in Milan (9-14 April). Fred Bass, managing director at Neonlite International Limited and brand owners of Megaman, commented: “This exciting partnership with Tom Dixon provides the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how the quality of light output and versatility, combined with significant energy savings, makes LED the perfect solution for peerless decorative lighting. It is fantastic to see a world-renowned brand in decorative lighting design such as Tom Dixon, in partnership with Megaman, taking the lead in moving our industry towards energy efficient and sustainable lighting solutions.” Tom Dixon said: “Because we spend a lot of our time thinking of the latest lamps and lighting effects in our work as product and interior designers, we leapt at the opportunity of a partnership with Megaman, one of the leading companies in the world specialising in low energy light-sources. The illumination field is so important from a sustainability standpoint and so exciting from the technology perspective, that we are delighted to take the first step in what we believe will be an ever-evolving partnership to collaborate, develop, test and communicate the benefits and aesthetics of the new sources of illumination.” Megaman’s Crown Brass LED lamp, specially commissioned to combine with Tom Dixon’s Cell Short Pendant and Wall Light, provides dramatic decorative lighting with an aesthetic touch.
