Inside-Out Lighting

The Turbine Lamp Directs Peripheral Light Inwards and Out

Most ceiling lights feature a central light source that is dispersed out; the Turbine Lamp devised by Niels Grubak Iversen does just the opposite. The Turbine Lamp's LEDs are located around the perimeter of the lamp; the turbine-like striations and strands exist to direct the light produced inward, then out into the room.

Since Niels Grubak Iversen's Turbine Lamp doesn't merely throw light out into the room, it's a far better choice for areas in which ambiance plays a factor like living rooms and bedrooms.
