by Rebecca Walker — June 23, 2008— Humanscale has introduced the Diffrient Work Light II, an effortlessly adjustable and beautiful task lighting solution designed to offer maximum versatility and support environmentally friendly compact fluorescent technology.
The company has also launched NeatLinks, a new cable management system designed to neatly house and route cables, power strips and ballasts (bricks).
The Diffrient Work Light II accommodates the latest-generation compact fluorescent bulbs, which use one-fourth the energy of comparable incandescent bulbs, and last up to ten times longer, says the company. The new screw-in socket supports fluorescent bulbs up to 26 watts for cool, long-lasting and energy-efficient light. The light also supports incandescent bulbs up to 60 watts.
The Diffrient Work Light II is precision-designed and engineered with a perfect internal counterbalance for feather-light movement and a wide range of positioning, says the company. Users can easily angle the light exactly where they need it.
Designed for easy disassembly and recycling, the light contains 90% recycled and recyclable content, and is constructed primarily of aluminum.

NeatLinks help keep under-the-desk areas clear of the messy and tangled cables and wires commonly found in today’s workplaces. Designed by the award-winning Humanscale Design Studio, NeatLinks can be mounted in any direction on nearly any plane with just two screws or adhesive tape.
The NeatLinks components are larger than traditional cable management systems to better accommodate and organize the multiple cables, power strips and ballasts needed regularly in office environments, says the company.
Designed with the environment in mind, NeatLinks and the washers used for screw installations are made of 100% recyclable ABS. The device also contains up to 50% post-consumer recycled content.
