Latest-generation luminous ceilings Low-profile, modular and made of glass

CIELOS meets all the functional requirements placed on a lumi- nous ceiling but nevertheless adopts an entirely new ap-proach. The biggest difference is its shallow surface-mounted height. The monochrome CIELOS is just 80 mm high; the bicoloured and multicoloured luminaires measure just 7 cm more. A total height of 150 mm for a multicoloured luminous field is a unique selling point. And its sur- faces are illuminated right up to the edge – the only way that Conventional luminous ceilings use almost no lighting technology at all. They rely exclusively on maximum clearance between lamp and diffuser in order to pro- duce uniform illumination. Mount- ing heights often range from 300 to 700 mm, yet hardly any con- ventional luminous ceiling offers the same colour neutrality and infinite colour spectrum as CIELOS. individual luminaires can be combined to form a luminous ceiling. A variety of innovative high-tech features are used in order to cut its height drastically compared to a traditional luminous ceiling. Every module is a self-contained luminaire element, fully equipped with ballast and a sophisticated double diffuser chamber. Light is diffused twice: firstly in a dif- fuser layer with backing, then in the safety glass with a visually high-grade finish. The problem of eliminating any unwanted greenish hue was solved by deliberately using high-grade iron-free glass. At the same time, using glass prevents age- ing and solves the problem of fire-load regulations. The frosted front of the glass cover is well protected against finger marks, thus making main- tenance so much easier. Every CIELOS module is uni- formly illuminated right up to its outer edge. When several ele- ments are placed side by side, joints are barely visible. Although the CIELOS luminous ceiling is modular, it produces an im-pressive, perfectly homoge-neous ceiling look. Its extra small, but extremely strong, metal clips guarantee maxi- mum safety, firmly fixing the glass panels to their frame in any installation position.
