WHY IS A SEAM NECESSARY IN LARGER SIZES? One of the limitations of acoustic lighting fixtures is scale. That’s because acoustic PET felt is typically produced in 4′ x 8′ sheets (like a sheet of plywood or drywall). This limited seamless acoustic offerings to 48″ or smaller. Any fixture over 48″ requires two panels butted together with a seam and additional hardware to span the entire fixture. The seam by itself was not visually appealing. So OCL Architectural Lighting developed a unique… and quite clever solution. They hid the seam within an “etched” bevel cut pattern – allowing larger scale acoustic panels on their fixtures, and a unique and fun pattern that conceals the seam needed to achieve this scale. It’s exciting to imagine the possibilities of OCL Architectural Lighting's Etched Panel (EP) Acoustic in your next project. Learn more here: https://hubs.ly/Q02g2Hwt0 #lescolighting

I help clients acquire lighting, fans and controls for high-end projects. I post about architectural lighting and operating a business.
Symmetry in lighting is underappreciated. While it may come across as obvious, good lighting layouts usually strive to achieve symmetry. This is a lot easier than it sounds. In a lot of projects, the architecture can interfere with lighting fixtures. Air ducts or beams which weren't accounted for are perfectly in the way. An engineer thought a sprinkler would be ideal in that spot. An A/V company already cut a large whole for a speaker there. The reasons go on as to why symmetry in lighting can be a real challenge. Next time you go to a place where the lighting looks great, take a look at the symmetry. Chances are a lighting designer got a few gray hairs trying to make it as perfect as possible. #LightingDesign #Symmetry #ArchitecturalLighting #InteriorDesign

Look what Invi Air Diffusers are Concealing in the Ceiling - 50% Less Noise Levels. Invi Air’s non-metal, installed air diffusers are hard to see in a wide-angle room photo. After installation, they can be easily painted to match the exact color and texture of the wall or ceiling, so they are virtually concealed. All you can see are frameless, thin, sleek slots that blend in perfectly with the flush surface they’re installed in, concealing the fact that they reduce noise levels by up to 50% compared to metal air diffusers, grilles, and vents. Due to Invi Air’s unique composite construction and limited restrictions on the rear of the diffuser, noise is limited. We strive to design our diffusers for less than 15 NC. (Noise Criteria). Standard aluminum vents amplify the vibration and whistle of moving air. Our smart composite material absorbs sound, significantly reducing ambient noise levels. #Architecture #InteriorDesign

Invi Air Inside - Minimizing Visual Clutter by up to 50%. Invi Air’s frameless, architectural, composite-made air diffusers keep all the diffuser’s components inside the wall or ceiling they’re installed in. A sleek, dual-functioning air diffuser that combines air distribution with ambient LED lighting in a single product. 2 in 1. A great, aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional duct registers. Perfect for anyone who wants to achieve a minimal look on their ceilings. Invi Air’s unique product line with LED light elevates architectural air diffusers to a new level, keeping all air conditioning components and light fixtures inside the ceiling surface.

🔦 Understanding Beam and Field Angles in Lighting 🔦 In lighting design, understanding beam and field angles is crucial for achieving optimal illumination coverage. Here’s a simplified explanation: Beam Angle: This is defined by the angle Ω where the illuminance at point "B" equals 50% of the illuminance at point "A". It determines the spread of the main beam of light from a fixture or lamp. Field Angle: Similarly, the field angle is where the illuminance drops to 10% of the center beam illuminance. It delineates the outer boundary of effective lighting coverage beyond the main beam. These definitions provide essential metrics for designers and users to ensure that lighting installations effectively cover intended areas while minimizing light spillage and maximizing energy efficiency. #LightingDesign #BeamAngle #FieldAngle #BigShineLED

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞❓🤔 In a new building with already cracked walls and bent ceilings or beams where the state could worsen in time?😬🤕 Or in a building with nice and smooth walls, and you can’t notice the slight deflection of the floor? 😇 I’m not even going to guess that everybody chooses the second example. And this is exactly why we should pay attention to ~ SLS checks !! 👉 While paying attention to SLS checks of reinforced or prestressed concrete structures is essential, sometimes it might be tough to deliver a satisfying solution quickly. Some obstacles affecting your design might occur, for example, a stress peak in a sharp corner, etc. With the IDEA StatiCa Detail application, that struggle is over !!📣 Please click the below provided link to know more about SLS checks in IDEA StatiCa. 👉 https://zurl.co/XSxr If you would like to enhance your current design workflow with IDEA StatiCa applications, please feel free to reach out to us below contact details: 💻email: support@techassist.ae 📱mob: +971 504550485 🌐web: www.techassist.ae #concrete #structuralengineering #concretedesign #ideastatica #middleeast #civilengineering

Invi Air - Picture Perfect. Reduced visual clutter by up to 95%. Invi Air’s diffusers are unique for their smart design possibilities, unique for their smart and innovative composite material’s advantages, and unique for their smart frameless, behind-the-drywall installation technique. Together these three smart qualities make Invi Air’s products a picture-perfect solution for any HVAC air distributor. Invi Air can minimize visual clutter in three ways no one else can do. First, our linear diffusers are twice as efficient compared to all other linear diffusers, so they can be half the size. Second, our frameless diffusers are installed completely behind the drywall, so they blend in with the surface they’re installed into. US Patent Number: 11378301. And third, we have that great innovation of a 2-in-1: the Diffuser with Light! You can’t beat that when minimizing visual clutter. Instead of a forest of air grilles and light fixtures on the ceiling, go with one seamless solution that does it all. #Architecture #InteriorDesign

Functional and architectural lighting can be viewed as opposite extremes of the same spectrum. Even though they often serve very different purposes, they can coexist in the same room. Or even in the same product. That is why our focus at UNLUMITED is on merging these two movements within lighting. Our fixtures are both technically advanced and architecturally sound. We call that combination Archi-technical. You can read all about it in our newest blog post. #ArchiTechnical #ArchitecturalLighting #FunctionalLighting #UNLUMITED #LightingSolutions #Lighting
