Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Luxo L-1 LED Task Light with Edge Clamp mounted?

This white configuration includes a table-edge clamp, so it can be secured directly to a desk or similar work surface without relying on a separate base. The product page identifies the supplied mount as a table clamp.

Can the Luxo L-1 LED Task Light be dimmed and turned off automatically?

Yes. The L-1 LED listing says the light source is dimmable and provides selectable automatic shutoff after either four or nine hours. Those controls are intended to reduce unnecessary operating time during normal office use.

How long is the L-1 LED light source expected to last?

The product listing states that the LED light source is expected to last 25 years or more with normal office use. This is a usage-based service-life statement, not a guarantee that the light source will never require service or replacement.

What is distinctive about the Luxo L-1 lamp design?

The L-1 was designed by Jac Jacobsen in 1937 and uses a flexible, spring-balanced articulated arm. The listing describes this design as the original architect-lamp form and reports that more than 25 million L-1 luminaires have been sold worldwide.
