Images associated to the British name Dyson brings to mind innovative vacuum cleaners, bladeless fans, and hand dryers. Sir James Dyson was the master mind behind the design and manufacturing of these high-end electric appliances, and now his son Jake Dyson is following closely in his footsteps in LED luminaire designs.

The light named in memory of UK's first manmade space satellite Ariel in 1960s, is a COB LED that integrates heat pipe technology that was initially developed for satellites. This is the second time that Dyson has incorporated the satellite inspired thermal dissipation system in his LED luminaires, the first generation product to use the design was CSYS.

Ariel is a COB LED luminaire that uses a thermal dissipation system inspired by those found in satellites. Ariel's thermal dissipation system consists of six heat pipes that overlap in the center of the light, with three moving heat out the heat sink of the wings, said Dyson. ";The heat generated from that chip shoots into the heat pipes, down the wing, and a convection of air runs through the wings and cools them." Each copper tube in the heating system holds a drop of water at each end to cool the LED chips down, and maintain a consistent temperature of 45 degrees Celsius. According to Dyson this keeps the LED luminaire more energy efficient.

Ariel is designed for commercial applications. Ariel suspension lights are designed for commercial applications, especially for meeting rooms and board rooms with long desks. The lights are designed so a single luminaire can cover the entire table length, and cuts the need for using multiple lights. The lights to be launched in May 2015 will be sold at a premium price of £1,300 (US $2125.33) in shops or around £850 for trade customers.

Jake Dyson is following his father James Dyson's footsteps as an inventor. Dyson reminds the lights can last nearly 37-years, though. "Our business model is to make and design lights which last for life, not to make lights which need to be ripped out and replaced every seven years," he said.Find more info:tube light led
