Burlington Desk Light, PAR and Krypton spotlight ranges
David Morgan Associates was first introduced to Matsushita Electric Works after winning a design competition sponsored by MEW and the Seibu Department Store group, organised by the UK based Design Council to promote contemporary British Design in Japan.
The Burlington desk light provides glare-free task lighting with a distinctive glass bell jar enclosing a halogen light source and low glare reflective optical system.
The design prize included a visit to Japan where David Morgan was introduced to the MEW management and design teams. Following this introduction DMA were commissioned to design and develop several commercial spotlight ranges for Nashop, the leading display lighting brand in the Japanese market.
The spotlights were launched in the late 1990's they are still selling well in Japanese and other Asian markets.
For the spotlight projects DMA was responsible for undertaking research into the display lighting market in Japan, producing luminaire design proposals, the production of thermal test prototypes and testing, detail design, prototyping and costing.
