AGLEDのシーリングライト
シーリングライトを本日LEDに替えました。妥協というよりは思いきりで、AGLEDというメーカーの12畳用モデル。ヨドバシのネット注文だと不要になった照明器具の引き取りサービスが付加できないので、面倒でもテレホンショッピングしました。直線的でスッキリとしたデザインはまずまずですが、フレームは安手のプラスチック感が見えてます。それでもかなりの薄型で圧迫感がなく、良い感じに収まっています。昼光色にも電球色にも無段階調色できるというのも有り難い。20年超の奉公を終えてリタイアした旧製品は下の写真。
I replaced our living ceiling light with a new LED product today. After all, my choice was domestic AGLED model instead of some fancy European brands, and it wasn't a compromise but a reasonable decision. A fairly sophisticated, straight and plain design although the actual frame could look like cheap plastic. Its thinness contributes creating spacious impression, and the color temperature is adjustable between daylight and bulb equivalents, which I appreciate very much. The retiring old light is shown in the second photo.

Le Klint Swirl - シーリングライトですが
引き続き照明ネタですが、しばらく前からシーリングライトを物色中です。Officinoではmuranodueなどの扱いブランドが減ってしまったし、数年前に直輸入したドイツの照明器具通販サイトTrenddesign24もなぜかほとんど機能しないくらいの惨状で商品表示されず、これといった収穫は今のところなし。無難に国産品で手を打つか・・・。
今回の仕様には合わないが、たまたま他サイトで目に止まったのはこちらのリクリントくらい、ヤマギワ値段は8.1万ですから良い買い物とは言えそう。
The lighting topic continues...
I've been looking for an alternative ceiling light for our living room, but Officino stopped handling several brands such as muranodue, and the German website of Trenddesign 24 where I bought a stand a few years ago is now miserable without showing most of products. I have no idea what's happening. We may have to compromise with an ordinary but secure domestic product this time...
A Le Klint light shown here does not match our specs this time, but it looks like a good deal considering the price at Yamagiwa is 81,000 Yen.

LED照明の困難
年末大掃除の一環で、一部の電球をLEDに交換したのだが、階段室の照明muranodueのGioではE17口径の小型球を横置きにセットする。これは無理があるなと思いつつもやってみると案の定、球の下半分がケーシングで覆われたLEDの場合はどうしても照明エリアが左に偏る。全面均一の白熱球(写真左)とは雲泥の差で、シビアに言えば使い物にならない。その実状は写真右の状態よりもっと落差が大きく感じられる。白熱球はどんどん市場から消えていく運命のようで将来に禍根を残す。
In the process of end-year cleaning of the house, we replaced some light balls with LED bulbs, and with this muranodue Gio in the staircase I felt negative with the result, and indeed the photos show it: the left is before and the right is after. Because this particular lighting holds E17 light ball along the surface facing the left (=90 degrees off front) while the lower hemisphere of LED bulbs tend to be the casing structure, the overall brightness will lean toward the left. The reality is worse that what this photo shows. A potential trouble when normal light balls disappear in the future.
