The beautiful, sleek, yet simple design of the Kast light is complemented by its quarter-shaped array of two five-watt LED clusters which are precisely angled to deliver glare-free light projection.
Kast has been manufactured with sustainability in mind, using over 80 percent recyclable aluminum and steel, composed of 40 percent recycled material with 27 percent post-consumer recycled content, and 100 percent solvent free powder coat finishes. The LED light helps make the task light Affordable to the user, offering an average rated life of 100,000 hours which is ten times greater than most compact fluorescent lamps. In addition, the LED diodes are nearly 25 percent more energy-efficient than comparable compact fluorescent technology.
