Pleasant light for discussions

Wallwashing for generous spatial impressions

Vertical lighting creates soft, diffuse light in the space via uniformly illuminated walls. Balanced contrasts and a defined background provide the ideal setting for meetings and video conferences. This also avoids situations during video conferences where brightly lit faces contrast strongly against dark backgrounds. Preprogrammed light scenes have proven to be a good solution where wallwashers along the presentation surface are switched off and horizontal lighting is dimmed.

Basic lighting for good modelling

Horizontal general lighting with wide light distributions creates a balanced ratio of cylindrical and horizontal illuminances. The vertical lighting component creates uniform distribution from all sides, i.e. cylindrical, without disruptive shadows on the faces of those taking part in the discussion. The horizontal component makes documents on the meeting table highly legible.

Harmonious distribution of brightness on faces

Direct, personal discussions enable efficient agreement processes in daily work. For a harmonious impression during discussions at conference tables or during video conferences, good lighting is indispensable both for the participants and the room itself. High cylindrical illuminances create a pleasant distribution of brightness with reduced facial contrasts.Vertical illumination of the room provides an open generous atmosphere for communication purposes.
