Varifocus Head Details

The Latest Alex Light

The Varifocus incorporates the latest adjustable LED beam-width and intensity technology which means you can easily spread the beam wide or concentrate it narrowly onto a smaller area.

Why?

You told us that different tasks need different beam widths, and this is the light you asked us to build. Adjust between a very bright, narrow, concentrated spot and a wider, less intense beam.

Varying the Beam Width

A revolutionary new design means you simply pull out or push in the optics like focussing a camera. Slide the lens towards you for a more focused, intense beam, or away from you for a softer light with a wider spread.

Nice Touches

Alex designed this model specifically for use at home. It operates at mains voltage without the need for a transformer which means the plug is a standard fitting. The moving optical lens is fitted with a soft silicon tactile rubber cover to make it easy to grip the lens and adjust the beam.

Wall Model Details

Alex Varifocus Wall Models

The cable is fed through the base of the bracket. The Varifocus runs at mains voltage and is suitable for direct wiring into lighting systems or for hiding the cabling inside a wall cavity.

Specifications

Varifocus Technical Details

Check out the Alex LED and Classic lights for these options.

For Alex LED and Classics - There are two formats:

Plug-in:

The cable is fed through the base of the bracket and the control gear is housed in the special plug.

Hard-wire:

The non-dimmable versions of these models are available for direct wiring into lighting systems or for hiding the cabling inside a wall cavity, fitted with an in-line control gear. Please note that the hard-wire option is available for 240v only.

Options

Flexible Arm Options

Black - The brass base metal is double-sprayed and double-baked to produce a durable matt black coating for the fully flexible stay-put arm. For a light that refuses to dominate the room, designed to blend and vanish into its surroundings, the all black finish is ideal. It is also the most popular finish.

Nickel - A 15-20 micron brushed nickel coating on the brass base metal gives a sharp, hi-tech brushed finish. The black base, handle and lamp head make for a stylish modern contrast. Perfect for your workspace and beautiful in a modern setting.

Brass - The 20-30 micron of zapon-treated brass on brass provides a long-lasting classic look, and the real wood mahogany-effect handles on the heavyweight floor model adds a final flourish, making this combination the perfect match for the more traditional space.

Options

Dimmer Option - The dimming function allows for your light to be finely adjusted to your specific needs. Turn down the light intensity when a softer light is required, then with one finger adjust it back up to full brightness when you need more light to get clarity. Dimming is standard on our High Definition lights and is taken up by the vast majority of Serious Readers suitable for bedside reading lights. The saving on Alex and Classic lights to de-specify the dimmer is £30. Alex Varifocus lights are non-dimmable.
