LED is COOL


Magnus Wästberg thought so too. Magnus, whose father has been producing light fittings for thirty years, brought together a group of top designers and asked them to design a collection of light fittings based on LED technology. Until now, the designs have always been based on the traditional light bulb shape. The minimal dimensions of the LED lamps, in combination with their technical qualities, gave the designers a whole new set of opportunities.

They focused their attention on achieving maximum rotation, arm reach, good balance, efficiency and safety.

The lamps no longer need to be changed, as their useful life is approximately 25 years. And their fuel efficiency is better again than the current energy efficient lamps. In addition, the lamp can be dimmed and give a (more effective) light yield by means of a sparkling colour display. That is, as long as the right technology is used: and Magnus uses it.

We are therefore proud to be the first in the Netherlands to present a completely new range of lamps under the brand name – what else could it be but – Wästberg. Another cause for celebration, we believe: which is why we are organising another exhibition.
