Description«The U-Turn family of lights represents something new both formally and technically and that’s quite an achievement these days with the frequency of new products launched on the market. The lamp “head” fixes to the stem magnetically and can be detached and then reattached as it was or flipped over to send the light the opposite way. It can also be very easily adjusted to direct the light with nothing more than the push of a finger. The circular crater pattern on the back of the lamp head serves to increase the surface area and improve cooling of the LED light source, while the middle one serves as the magnet fixing point. The formal elements are well balanced and the result is an accomplished design with added function and lots of character.»
