SYSTEM X MODULAR LIGHTING by Ross Lovegrove

 System X, which he designed for Yamagiwa is a modular lighting system composed of flexible fluorescent X’s that can be linked with other X modules to create a modern and sculptural lighting system for any interior space. Imagine the possibilities, you can link as many or as few X modules both horizontally and vertically to cover entire walls, ceilings and even connect the X’s together to form circles of different sizes.

Each X module uses two T4 21W fluorescents and can be connected to an optional dimmer to “create zones of different temperatures of light in collective or singular modules.”
