The art of miniaturisation The smallest details, perfectly emphasised MICROTOOLS is a flexible lighting tool for skilfully presenting objects and goods and for heightening their sense of value, especially in shelves, showcases and recesses with wood, glass and metal bases. The modular LED lighting system steps into the background and its reduced design facilitates its almost invisible integration. The special photometric feature: modules for general and accent lighting can be combined at will. Warm white to intermediate white colour tempe­ ratures are available, thus enabling differentiated and...

Flexible accent lighting Gimbal-mounted lighting heads in minimum spaces Pivoting and rotating lighting heads that are currently the most compact on the market guarantee maximum flexibility, and blend seamlessy into the system. Their dimensions and construction height are identical to those of the fixed spots for general lighting. Despite minimal dimensions, the lighting heads can be aligned with ease thanks to a sophisticated mechanism. The result is that even the smallest details are rendered visible, and distinct shadows create highly recognisable space. MICROTOOLS-C (Cardanic) 1 x 1.1 W LED:...

Discreetly integrated lighting solution Thanks to the system’s reduced size and compact design, it is very easy to integrate MICROTOOLS discreetly into shelving, exhibition furniture and recesses. The LED lighting system (approx. 80 lm/W) with its flexible lighting heads significantly surpasses the efficiency of conventional spots (e.g. HIT: approx. 70 lm/W). Visual integration is especially important where nothing should distract from the presentation itself, even though the finely machined MICROTOOLS components give a good impression in every respect. Setting precise accents MICROTOOLS make...

Notes on lighting quality When erroneous colouration or heat cause damage ... Binning – constant colour locations for high quality illumination When LED chips are manufactured, LEDs from different production batches have variable properties. This may affect luminous flux, the colour location or forward voltage. The importance of such criteria varies according to the application and product. With white LEDs the binning process is especially important, and selecting a specific binning group ensures that the colour location of LED light remains constant. This in turn ensures a uniform appearance...

Colour rendering for authentic presentations Lighting sensitive objects with gentle light Modern LED lighting solutions achieve a very high level of colour rendering. With Ra values of over 90, they even surpass many lighting systems with fluorescent lamps. And LED solutions also stand up well to comparisons with discharge lamps, being able to keep pace both in terms of colour rendering and other photometric characteristics. From a conservational point of view, it is important to handle valuable and sensitive exhibits in museums with special care. If light is not correctly applied it may damage...

DALI lighting control Highly varied luminaires work as a team Tried-and-tested and universal The DALI control system used by Zumtobel features maximum compatibility. Dimensioning has no relevance – high-performance spots in all sizes and wattages as well as the flexible SUPERSYSTEM and MICROTOOLS lighting systems can be coupled and jointly controlled. In shop environments in particular, interesting moods can be created and can be varied according to ingress of daylight, number of visitors and the season of the year. Anything goes: programming in real time, automatisms dependent upon sensors or...
