emerged from the need to create a product that would
respond to some requirements:
- A small and visually
simple luminaire, to the home and office environment
- Aimed at energy saving, therefore using an electronic
ballast (class A2) or a low loss conventional ballast
(class B2)
- With direct and indirect lighting. Frosted Glass for the
visible diffusers and clear acrylic for the hidden
apertures.
- That could be suspended or wall mounted
- That would house T5 as well as T8 fluorescent tubular
lamps for the suspended version, and compact fluorescent
lamps for the wall mounted version.
- Having available two kinds of body finishings: light
aluminium (ral 9006 mat) and Dark Grey.
The result was this family
of discreet and fluid luminaires that uses a standard
60x60mm metal tube as the body, where it only lodges a
lamp and the diffusers, and a smaller box placed in the
surface (ceiling or wall) that houses the ballast and
other components.
Because some times just a
lamp is not enough, its possible to join two tubes and
create a more efficient fixture.
