On The Dot: Red Dot Awards
Best of the Best Ambitus Zumtobel Ambitus is inspired by natural light sources such as the sun and mimics the basic function of natural light to enhance spatiality for a more conscious experience. In combination with a perforation on the underside, the lamp showcases a visually accentuated ring-like shape that creates an aesthetically pleasing effect to evoke various associations with natural light phenomena. At the same time, the round shape produces a harmonious light distribution, even when the pendant luminaire is viewed from different angles. www.z.lighting
Stellr Lucifer Lighting Lucifer Lighting’s Stellr pendant luminaire features a novel operation that shapes the atmosphere of a room. Utilising a proprietary waveguide technology, the body appears transparent when the light is off and opaque when the light is switched on. The luminaire body contains two concealed, independently controlled and dimmable light sources, yielding a directional downlight within an illuminated sphere. This creates ambient light that is both direct and warm. www.luciferlighting.com
Eclipse Bold Lighting Inspired by a solar eclipse, the light source of this downlight is discreetly hidden and thus creates a glare-free, indirect illumination. The LED is located in the static blade of the body, and is collimated by the upper reflector, precisely projecting the light downward. The downlight offers an adjustable beam from 15-50° and is capable of providing up to 45° of tilt and 360° of rotation, allowing for a seamless transition from the horizontal to the vertical plane. www.boldlighting.us
Robin iGuzzini The design of this spotlight series was inspired by birds sitting on power lines, looking down at different angles. Similarly, the compact spotlights can be flexibly aligned. Their housing rotates up to 160° vertically and up to 360° horizontally. Robin can be mounted on top or below the slim track. The spotlights are available in black and white and come in three sizes, three powers and four light distributions from spotlight to wallwasher. www.iguzzini.com
TYK+ Performance in Lighting This floodlight allows for effective architectural lighting in outdoor areas. Available in different sizes, TYK+ shows well-balanced proportions. The flat housing conceals contemporary electronics that enable various lighting effects. The arrangement of the optical lenses achieves a clear, homogeneous light beam that is perceived as highly pleasant. Colour change options including tuneable white complement the product concept. www.performanceinlighting.com
Ubik Lumenwerx The design concept for Ubik followed the objective of illuminating interiors with a glare-free architectural LED light. The luminaire body, which is available as a cube, pendant or wall light, is defined by two-inch connecting apertures. These allow installation in rows or patterns and equipping them with interchangeable optics to realise complex lighting strategies. The luminaires are offered in standard black, white or aluminium, but can be also manufactured in any other custom colour. www.lumenwerx.com
