Printed in PLA.

Printed lamps by daylight

A plastic made from plant sugars.

From crops such as corn.

Instead of oil.

Printed entirely in PLA, a plastic made from plant sugars - from crops such as corn - instead of oil.

Light through the wall.

Every part that glows - the shade, the orb, the diffuser - is printed as two walls, 0.84 mm thick together, in translucent PLA. Nothing lines it. The light comes through the material itself, and the colour of the wall is the colour of the light.

Matte where you touch it.

Bases, rings, bands and caps are printed in matte PLA: solid and without shine, so they frame the glow instead of competing with it. Each part takes its own colour, from 5.

  • Top ring

5 colours that glow. 5 that don't.

Translucent PLA For the parts that glow. Pale colours fill a room; deep ones glow more quietly.

Colours on a screen are a guide. Each spool varies very slightly in tint, so for lamps that must match, order them together.

Every layer, left in.

Each lamp is printed to order from the bottom up, 0.2 mm at a time. The fine lines that run round every part are those layers. They are not sanded away: they are how the lamp was made, and lit from inside, they are part of how it looks.

Care and heat.

A printed lamp asks for very little, but it asks for this.

LED bulbs only
Never an incandescent or halogen bulb: inside a closed shade it runs far hotter than a printed lamp is made for. A 6 W LED runs far cooler, which is why only LEDs are allowed. Every lamp ships with its LED.
Out of hot cars and hot sun
Do not leave a lamp or a part in a parked car, or in direct sun on a windowsill.
A dry cloth
Dust with a dry cloth or a soft brush. Keep acetone, solvents and harsh cleaners away from the printed parts. Indoor use only.

Why buy from Hakumei

Which bulb goes in a printed lamp?

An LED, always, and usually the one already in the box. Here is why, and what to buy when it needs replacing.

LED only, and why

Every shade is two walls of PLA, 0.84 mm in all. Never an incandescent or halogen bulb: inside a closed shade it runs far hotter than a printed lamp is made for. A 6 W LED runs far cooler, which is why only LEDs are allowed.

So every lamp ships with its LED bulb, and the only bulb that should ever go in it is another LED of the same shape: 6 W or less.

Which shape your lamp takes

Every lamp uses the ordinary E27 screw fitting. What differs is the bulb's shape, because some shades sit close round it:

Ring chandelier, 1.2 mBuilt-in LED, no bulb
Wall sconce, one sizeG45 golf-ball LED, E27
Cordless lamp, one sizeBuilt-in LED, no bulb

Replacing a bulb

Buy the same shape: a G45 golf-ball where the lamp came with one, an A60 where it came with an A60. A longer A60 will not fit under a small dome or inside a wall sconce, even though it screws into the same holder.

Warm white, 2700 K, is what the lamps are made to glow at. A cooler bulb works, but the translucent colours read differently under it.

On a table lamp or a wall sconce, the bulb is reached by lifting the part over it off: the parts are held by magnets, not screws. A pendant's bulb is reached from below.

Caring for a printed lamp

A printed lamp asks for very little: a dry cloth, an LED bulb, no solvents and no hot direct sun.

Cleaning

Dust with a dry cloth or a soft brush. Keep acetone, solvents and harsh cleaners away from the printed parts. Indoor use only.

What is normal

Fine horizontal lines across the surface: each is one layer of the print, and lit from inside they are part of how the lamp looks.

A slight difference in tint between two lamps of the same colour, because each is printed from its own spool. For lamps that must match, order them together.

Heat

Never fit an incandescent or halogen bulb: inside a closed shade it runs far hotter than a printed lamp is made for. A 6 W LED runs far cooler, which is why only LEDs are allowed, and every lamp ships with its LED. Keep the lamp out of hot cars and hot sun - a sunny windowsill behind glass, or a parked car, gets hotter than it looks.

If a part breaks or you want a new colour

The parts are joined by magnets, so any one lifts off. Each is sold on its own from the Accessories page of its family: a new shade, a base in another colour, a spare top ring.
