Secto Design

Secto Design Oy is a Finnish company specializing in modern hand-made design lamps from high quality certified local birch. The authentic Secto Design wood lamps are sustainably and ecologically produced in Finland. The designer of the entire lighting collection is architect Seppo Koho.

The iconic Secto Design lighting collection includes various pendant lamps, floor lamps, table lamps, and wall lamps that are suitable for both public and private interiors. Secto Design lamps are appreciated for their Scandinavian lighting design that adapts to different styles and interiors. They are exported to over 80 countries worldwide.

Secto Design lamps are praised for their innovativeness. All the technical details in the Secto Design lamps are carefully considered. Secto Design shades are made of PEFC certified, top-quality Finnish birch veneer that are formpressed into blanks. The blanks are cut into slats, which are sanded and finally connected using rings of thin plywood. The slats are glued and nailed to the rings. All Secto Design lamps undergo a thorough quality inspection before they are sent to their final destination.

The finishing options for the shades are untreated natural birch, white or black laminate or waxed walnut veneer. Other colours can be customised for projects at extra cost. The light distribution curves of the Secto Design lamps as well as further information on particular model can be found on the product pages.

Most Secto Design lamps use LED bulbs as a light source. The recommended color temperature is pure white, 3000 K (daylight being 4000 K). For security reasons at least 0.6 in space should be left between the bulb and the shade to allow air to circulate. If a dimmer is used, please check the compatibility of the dimmer with the light source. The use of special bulbs such as halogen, mirror or 12 V is forbidden due to overheating.

The built-in LED is included in the Owalo 7000 pendant lamp. The current life span estimation of LED is approximately 15 000 hours. New built-in LED light sources with installation instructions can be ordered from Secto Design within a reasonable time.

The Secto Design LED lamps use high-quality LEDs. Secto Design reserves the right to replace the current LED components to similar or better ones due to the rapid development of LEDs and changes in supply.

The colour of the cable depends on the lamp model and the colour of the shade. The standard cable colours are listed in the product information of each model.

A ceiling cup, designed by Secto Design using the patented suspension system by Dezall, and a connector are included in the cable set of the pendant lamps. The Magnum and Owalo pendants are equipped with balancing steel wires. The wall lamps come with a cable and a switch or alternatively with a direct wall mount option.

The cables of the table, floor, and wall lamps in the Owalo family have a transformer. The cables or any other parts used in Secto Design lamps should not be replaced for safety reasons. Secto Design is not responsible for any damages caused by modifications.

All Secto Design lamps are attachable to DALI systems with a separate DALI-compatible trailing edge (phase cut off) type dimmer. Due to great variation in DALI systems, Secto Design does not supply DALI- dimmers. Please contact your local electrician.
