The Dash is the lamp for people who work at a desk and care how a gadget looks on it. It delivers 10,000 lux at 15cm from high-quality CRI 95+ broad-spectrum, UV-free 5000K LEDs, so colours around it look natural rather than clinically flat, and it dims via tactile controls when you want gentler ambient light. At 18.7 x 18.1cm and 0.59kg it has a small, tidy footprint and comes in two soft colourways. The trade-offs are that the compact face means sitting close, around 15cm, for the full dose, and you pay a premium for a small panel, but for design-conscious desk use it is a lovely thing. Covered by Lumie's 3-year warranty and 45-day trial.
