Architectural Lighting: Dynamic neon lighting begins

[nikita]

Time passes through various shades of light: For millions of years our bodies have been used to this biological clock. Steady light is a result of modern technology to which man had to adapt until technology introduced new solutions of architectural lighting.



Elettronica per Luce has created a DMX system, which with a digital/analogue controller artificially reproduces the effect of natural changing light.

This six-channel system is easy to use and utilizes the basic colours: red, green, blue and one or two whites with high colour rendering. These tubes can be lit simultaneously according to scheduled programs in order to obtain standard settings i.e. Daylight 6500°K etc. - or different settings can be obtained.

It is not only possible to choose the most pleasant type of light, but it will also be possible to artificially reproduce the effect of natural changing light. In the morning it would be possible to start with a warm light going towards a full white light and ending at night with a comfortable light.

The applications of this DMX system are astonishing – the channels can control different modes aside from the lighting. A channel for example can be used for the gradual opening of the blinds at a particular time of the day. More sophisticated lighting
could be at night, i.e. around the house by switching on/off the light in the rooms by means of
sensors. This system could be easily used in ambient lighting situations where accent is needed such as a fashion shop to accentuate the colours of fabric, shoes or jewellery.
Do you think it is complicated? Don’t worry; this technology is as simple as flicking switch!
