Underscore InOut Inspiration through integration even in extreme conditions

It’s in the process Underscore InOut was born out of a specific requirement: to provide an extremely reliable straight or curved line of light for outdoor applications, even at extreme temperatures. The material selection was the beginning of the project. “Often the most innovative technological solutions are the result of empirical observation. Single chip LEDs, those small light emitters about 2 millimetres square, are protected from humidity, pressure, UV rays or certain radiations of the spectrum at around 450 nanometres by a special material. If a LED, which is a light source, uses...

Underscore InOut Inspiration through integration, even in extreme conditions. Underscore is a tool for creating with light. Underscore InOut extends the brilliance of Underscore to exteriors, guaranteeing maximum reliability, even in extreme conditions. Light gives architecture a special rhythm, turning buildings into living organisms in a pulsating urban scene.Underscore InOut is a solution that liberates light and turns it into an artist’s brushstroke that outlines, highlights and even colours outdoor architecture with a palette of RGB tones. Facades of any size or shape become exquisite...

straight lines on flat and curved surfaces with the TOP BEND version (16mm) Side Bend straight and curved lines on flat surfaces with the SIDE BEND version (6mm-10mm-16mm)

With clip Curvature radius: 25 cm With high profile Underscore InOut includes a Top Bend version, with a 16 mm wide emission surface and a Side Bend versions, with 3 widths: 6 mm, 10 mm and 16 mm. The long lasting installation is rendered even more secure with two fixing supports: the aluminium profile, used to accompany the straight lines, or the aluminium or stainless steel clips used to secure the product by following the curved shape. The construction of Underscore InOut places the output cable at the rear or side, in order to achieve a perfect joint between the profiles. This is why...

Underscore InOut Main Features Leifur Eiriksson International Airport Reykjavík, Iceland 6

There are no application limits to Underscore InOut. The quality of the high-performance polymer maintains its flexibility characteristics even at -30°. A comparative test in a climatic chamber has revealed that other products, which use different materials, such as PVC, stiffen at 0°C, limiting their installation at these temperatures. Underscore InOut can meet the most demanding installation requirements, from -30°C to +45°C. The product remains operational even if temporarily submerged. The fitting and connectors both have the IP68 rating. Safe connecting system between connectors, for a...

Underscore InOut Main Features Underscore InOut passed the glow-wire test at 960°C without igniting.

Reliability. High resistance to flammability. Safety is fundamental. Fittings are increasingly integrated with the architecture and become part of the fabric of the building itself. The propagation of flames inside and outside a building can occur through irradiation, convection, transport of material or direct contact. For us it’s important to make sure that the materials perform very well from this point of view too. We ensure that the material used is flame resistant and that it does not produce spontaneous combustion in any possible condition. We tested Underscore InOut alongside...

Underscore InOut Main Features Underscore InOut ensures long lasting finish, colour temperature and efficiency. Hassan Mosque Cairo, Egypt Lighting design: Simos Simon Architect – Eclaraigist 10

Reliability. No yellowing, no colour-temperature shift, no efficiency drops. Underscore InOut is a fitting designed to live outdoors. The resistance to atmospheric agents is therefore fundamental to maintain the aesthetic qualities and functionality of the product. A third party certifying body subjected our fitting, along with other similar products made of different materials, such as PVC or polyurethane, to the UV test*. They exposed the products to sunlight and humidity. Underscore InOut, after 12 years, did not have any alterations to the finish and maintained the same colour...

We have patented* the splint system, which absorbs and contrasts the mechanical and thermal stresses, typical of fittings subject to bending, torsion and yield tensions or thermal expansion and contraction. Two lateral steel wires support the external body of the fitting, without affecting the electronic operation during installation and use. The LED circuit is housed inside an air chamber, in the coextruded polymer. The LED strip is free to move and is not affected by the external stresses, maintaining long lasting life and performance conditions. The strength and structural stratification...

Underscore InOut Main Features Control systems Underscore InOut can be controlled with a single DALI and DMX IP20 interface, connected to the MasterPro control system, to create RGB and/or dynamic scenes (up to 4 only white 7-metre strips). It is also available with just the DALI interface to control the adjustment of the white.
