Lighting Innovations at the Cutting Edge of Lighting Technology It’s a bright new world. LED has revolutionised the lighting landscape, a high light flow ensures superb efficiency and economy, with a life span of tens of thousands of hours F rom what was previously the domain of decorative accent lighting, LED technology has evolved into a practical, general lighting option. To truly embrace the benefits of LED, and to address the challenges they pose, requires completely new luminaires, rather than just changing the light source. Lighting Innovations are developing luminaires specifically for LEDs, creating viable solutions across the whole spectrum of a lighting project. Drawing on over 27 years of lighting know-how and innovation, this approach has focused on softening the intensity of the light to create a harmony between efficiency and comfort. Free from the shackles of the specific shape or size of the light source dictating design, luminaires can become smaller, slimmer and more unpredictable. Freedom Lighting Innovations’ Freedom luminaire (above) takes this concept to the extreme. Combinations of linear or circular housing can be used in numerous configurations, offering the designer the opportunity to draw their own lines in light. Lighting Innovations is a technical architectural lighting company offering high quality lighting solutions and well-designed lighting systems that provides lighting comfort and aesthetics that match the architect’s vision. Lighting Innovations are part of the FAGERHULT Group of companies. LIGHTING INNOVATIONS’ OFFICES AND FACTORY, PORT ELIZABETH 62 Advertorial
