Light-headed It's the last days of summer – in the northern hemisphere, at least. (Get that Vitamin D while you can.) On the plus side, as the daylight fades our thoughts turn to lighting design. Our latest issue of Product Focus features a selection of innovative products from Linea Light Group, Regent Lighting, Waldmann, Oligo and Kreon, which demonstrate the high-stakes game that is lighting design. How to create objects that need to function as much when they're off as when they're on – and which lend interior architecture its very shape. | | Rubber stamped It’s no secret that the emergence of LED technology represented a game-changing development in the field of lighting design. Italian lighting expert Linea Light Group was among the first companies in Europe to embrace, and specialise in, the technology, and its pioneering spirit is once again to be seen in the flexible shape of its innovative Rubber series. The Rubber family of products is an evolved version of the LED strip, a luminous and flexible band of light, which, with its almost infinite modularity, offers lighting designers and architects previously unimagined freedom when it comes to illuminating space, be it indoors, outdoors – or even underwater. Plus it’s rubber-stamped with the Made in Italy mark of quality. | | Fine line People light our way: This is the simple motto of Swiss company Regent Lighting, who, for over a century, has been enhancing people’s home and work lives with their innovative lighting solutions. ‘Simple’ is also how one might describe their PURELITE SLIM – but don’t be fooled by the minimalism of its appearance. Regent Lighting has married sleek design and cutting-edge technology to create a super-slim light, with a height of just 35mm. The result is the ultra-flat PURELITE SLIM, a luminaire that provides glare-free, uninterrupted lines of light, and whose design allows for ease of installation and flexibility of specification – ideal for office, restaurant or residential projects. | | A luminaire supporting a safe return to the office Many things are still far from certain, but one thing is not: Covid-19 is going to be keeping us occupied for some time to come. So how can we shape our working day to be safe – even when we are not working from home? Waldmann and the start-up LIZ, which belongs to the same group of companies, have developed a solution: the YARA luminaire with LTX sensor control and LTX software offers a range of helpful options.
