Structural Light 2018

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces "The Structural Light" collection by SIMES, focusing on the integration of light into architecture as a material similar to stone or marble. This concept aims to seamlessly blend light with architectural elements, enhancing both perception and functionality of spaces.
Concept and Design Philosophy
The collection draws inspiration from global architectural visions, merging traditional materials with innovative lighting solutions. The "Ghost" range exemplifies this by making light a structural element that disappears when off, fully integrating with the architecture.
Brick Light
The Brick Light project combines glass and brick, utilizing their historical significance and modern adaptability. It aims to make light a structural component, enhancing architectural volumes and integrating seamlessly with brick surfaces.
Designers
Marc Sadler and Paolo Rizzatto are highlighted as key designers. Sadler is known for material experimentation, while Rizzatto's work spans architecture and lighting design, emphasizing the integration of light with architectural forms.
Technical Specifications
The document details the technical aspects of the Brick Light and Ghost products, including materials, installation methods, and lighting technology. Key features include high corrosion resistance, IP65 protection class, and compatibility with various construction materials.
Installation and Application
The Ghost range is designed for various applications, including insulation panels and plastered walls, emphasizing ease of integration and aesthetic harmony with architectural elements.
Conclusion
The document concludes by highlighting the innovative nature of the Ghost and Brick Light products, emphasizing their potential to redefine architectural lighting through seamless integration and advanced technology.
Overview
The document serves as a technical catalogue for SIMES lighting products, specifically focusing on the 'Ghost' series designed for integration into concrete structures. It includes specifications, installation procedures, and product variations.
Specifications
The Ghost series includes various models such as Ghost Horizontal, Ghost Vertical, Ghost Square, Minighost Square, Microghost Square, and Ghost Linear. These models feature LED circuits with different power ratings and luminous flux outputs. The products are designed for embedding in concrete, with housings made of polypropylene or aluminum, and are equipped with locking systems for secure installation.
Installation Procedures
The installation involves embedding the housing into the concrete during casting. The lighting element is anchored to the housing and remains hidden within the void. Templates for drilling are provided to ensure proper alignment and facilitate the installation of continuous linear cavities.
Product Variations
The Ghost Linear series offers multiple lengths (240mm, 430mm, 810mm, 1570mm) that can be connected to create continuous lines. The document provides examples of wall installations with specific measurements to achieve desired lengths and gaps.
Technical Considerations
The document emphasizes the handcrafted nature of the products, which may result in minor imperfections. It advises consulting structural engineers for appropriate wall framework and thickness calculations. The Ghost Linear Continuous Line requires a 9 cm deep cavity.
Additional Information
The catalogue notes that product specifications are subject to change and advises checking the SIMES website for the latest technical data and installation instructions. The products are registered and/or patented.

Structural Light 2018-2

Light becomes architecture In the new collection “The Structural Light” of SIMES, light integrates into the architecture so as to become itself a live material like stone, concrete and marble capable of perceiving and of living spaces in a functional and pleasant manner. The concept is the one of total and global integration with the context and the architecture. Light directly influences it, makes it full and perfect and “adds” whatever is needed to understand space. It becomes a material of impalpable invention and generates space by filling latter with its mass, by providing rhythm to the...

Brick Light Since ancient times the clay brick has accompanied the history of architecture until almost identifying itself with it. Even today it is one of the most used material for its high and multiple qualities in terms of static, insulation, lifespan, shape, texture, chromatic wealth. Especially nowadays where biocompatibility and environmental sustainability along with the requirements for environmental soundproofing have become essential, the brick stands out as one of the materials closest to earth. In more recent times glass has given a concrete contribution to the solution of the relation...

Brick Light Brick Light camouflages itself with the brick texture not only by taking on the form and the dimensions of the brick, but also by adopting the same modes of handling, assembly and installation thanks to its characteristics of resistance and manageability. The restrained and basic archetype form allows a perfect integration in walls. It is endlessly declinable and talks together with the rhythm of the surfaces and appropriate lighting needs designed for integration with exposed brick surfaces such as: exterior and interior flush with walls, recessed or protruding on a flat masonry...

Ghost Linear Ghost Horizontal Design M. Sadler S I M ES For minimum 10 cm insulation thick panel For construction material to be plastered The Ghost range originates from a simple but revolutionary idea that thanks to a careful engineering became an industrial product: to create out-and-out luminous cavities inside the material and to conceal the lighting body as to make the light the only and unique player in the architecture. This concept which was initially conceived for cast concrete walls in place; now it comes in new innovative variants that turn it into a product suitable for many construction...
