Moooi Tubelight

The Moooi Tubelight by BCXSY takes the most boring light fixture imaginable - the fluorescent tube - and completely reimagines it into something that feels like magic. Instead of that harsh, rigid strip light you remember from office cubicles, the Tubelight uses flexible silicone LED tubes that you can actually bend, drape, and shape however you want. The genius is in how BCXSY kept the familiar black rectangular housing but let one of the tubes escape and do its own thing - you can wrap it around the fixture, hang it down in graceful curves, or even clamp it to nearby walls to create your own custom lighting sculpture. Available in two versions - the compact 150cm with a preset elegant arc, or the adventurous 500cm flexible version that gives you nearly 16 feet of bendable light to play with.

What makes the Tubelight really special is how it completely changes your relationship with lighting from passive to interactive. The dim-to-warm technology means you control both brightness and color temperature, going from crisp work lighting to warm ambient glow as you dim down. The wireless wall switch makes adjustments effortless, while those included clamps let you attach the flexible tube wherever makes sense for your space. The whole thing arrives fully assembled, so installation is just about hanging the main fixture and then having fun positioning that flexible tube exactly where you want it. Whether you're lighting a long dining table, creating accent lighting in a hallway, or just want something that makes people stop and ask "how did they do that?" - the Tubelight adapts to however you actually live rather than dictating one fixed setup.

Moooi collaborates with innovative studios like BCXSY because they understand that the best design often comes from taking familiar objects and making them do unexpected things. BCXSY's approach of finding beauty in industrial lighting while adding playful flexibility reflects the brand's commitment to supporting designers who challenge conventions while creating genuinely functional pieces. The Dutch focus on thoughtful engineering means they've solved the technical challenges of making flexible LED tubes that actually work reliably, proving that when you combine artistic vision with solid manufacturing, you can transform even the most mundane lighting into something that enhances daily life while bringing genuine surprise and delight to interior spaces.
