What Color-Rendering Index (CRI) should task light bulbs have?
CRI is a method for describing the effect of a light source on the colour appearance of objects being illuminated. A CRI of 100 represents the reference condition of daylight (and thus the maximum CRI possible). In general, low CRI illumination may render some colours unnatural and lamps with a CRI under 60 should not be used. It has been proven that at a certain point, the higher the CRI, the lower the illuminance. A CRI in the 80s is a good benchmark for all general tasks.
What is task lighting and why should I use it?
Task lighting provides the correct amount of light for the task being performed. Viewing a computer monitor requires far less light than does reading a typewritten page, making it neither effective nor efficient to light the entire work environment at the same level. When utilizing task lighting, overhead lighting levels can be reduced to a level appropriate for monitor viewing, thus creating a softer, more pleasant atmosphere and saving energy. Work surfaces can then be supplemented with task lighting to give workers total control over where and how much light they need for other tasks, such as reading a document.
What is MCX LED Technology?
MCX LED Technology is the groundbreaking technology utilized by Humanscale's Element light. MCX, which stands for Multi-Chip Extended, refers to Element's unique multi-chip LED, which not only provides a more extensive life than traditional LEDs, but forms an extended bar shape for an eceptionally large footprint of light. MCX Technology is revolutionary in a number of ways, and overcomes many of the weaknesses of traditional LED technology.

Superbly designed and engineered, this is a must have office light for every energy efficient, stylised office.
Thanks to breakthrough MCX LED technology, the Element task light from Humanscale is the only light to meet all the Department of Energy’s criteria for an LED task light.
Featuring a single multi-chip LED and a unique heat-shedding design, the Element task light produces the equivalent output of 70 watts of incandescent lighting, draws fewer than seven watts of power, and offers an exceptionally long 60,000-hour life span—30 years of daily use in a 9-to-5 office environment.

'Element' overcomes all the weaknesses of current-generation LED task lights for performance that can't be matched.
Did you know that lighting accounts for nearly half the energy used by commercial buildings? Energy-efficient task lighting offers a solution. In addition to providing an excellent source of ergonomic light, task lights can help reduce energy use and costs.
Single-source vs. Dual-source Lighting Overhead lighting is one of the biggest culprits of energy consumption. By placing energy-efficient task lights at every workstation, overhead lighting levels can generally be reduced, slashing energy use and costs. In fact, research has shown that a dual-source lighting system can reduce energy consumption by as much as 67%. That profound energy savings can reduce a building's overall energy use by as much as 25%. Less energy for lighting means lower operating costs, not to mention less pollution, and that's a benefit for everyone involved.

Reviews
Element Light Receives Appliance Design Gold Award Chicago Athenaeum
“Though the technology was enough to impress us, Humanscale also demonstrated a tremendous attention to design … a mighty achievement.” — Lisa Smith, Core 77 Design
“Out with the bluish or yellow-tinged glare—the Element lamp produces neutral, 3500K white light (and very bright), with a large footprint.” Trent Pitts, GearPatrol.com
“The Element is made up of up to 81% recycled aluminum and plastic, and is 99% recyclable (yet with a bulb that lasts almost 30 years in 9 to 5 operation, would it ever make it to the scrapper?).” GearPatrol.com
Sustainability
The Element Light is a great example of Humanscale's environmental purpose.
- Made predominantly of recycled aluminum and plastic
