Hybrid Desk and Night Light
Named for the 18th Century astronomer, Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille, this was a project to develop a work/night light which, by the variation of the lamp’s colour temperature and light intensity to better match the user’s circadian rhythm can act as an aid to better and more restful sleep patterns.
