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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

The 2021 recipients of the Red Dot Awards were revealed at the end of June. Once again covering a vast scope of product design from a wide variety of applications and sectors, we take a look at some of the products to be recognised in its two lighting categories: Lighting Systems and Lamps and Luminaires.

UHO Delta Light

The design of Delta Light’s UHO pays particular attention to details such as a balanced ratio of the luminaire body’s length to its diameter. In addition, the gently curved joint precisely matches the contours of the lighting. Depending on lighting requirements, UHO is available as a single or double spotlight and as a triple unit for surface installation. In addition, the accent lights are manufactured in different colours.

This track lighting holds 10 spotlights in one luminaire body. The elongated housing features an elegant contour and blends harmoniously into the interior. The angle of reflection and thus the light distribution can be changed via a joystick, while the glare-free light quality is easy on the eyes. Using fewer materials and energy-saving LEDs, the energy required to produce the lighting is approximately equal to the power it consumes in its lifetime, making it a sustainable choice.

Available in various models, Philips Hue Centris enables individually configurable room lighting. The spotlights can be positioned flexibly either for a homogeneous illumination of a room or for creating focused accent lighting. Each light can be set to a different colour or a warm white, which enables versatile adjustment of a room ambience according to need.

Robo-Radar On Lichttechnik

Robo-Radar is a motorised luminaire controlled via Bluetooth technology. It is suitable for rooms with high ceilings that require dynamic lighting scenarios, such as retail store windows, car showrooms and galleries. Its diverse lighting options are geared for changing exhibitions and product displays. The dimmable luminaire allows colour temperatures from 2700K to 6500K. It is available in three luminaire types including a retractable recessed light and a surfacemounted light.

www.on-lichttechnik.de Outline Eureka Lighting

Outline is a patented lighting range with an innovative, ring-shaped light engine. Highefficiency LEDs embedded in a parabolic glare ring achieve a particularly uniform illumination. The individual modules can be mounted in various ways to provide static or alignable ambient light. To achieve a flexible orientation, the recessed model is equipped with magnetic pivot joints. The pendant luminaires with their slim, linear profile serve mainly as supplementary indirect lighting.

www.eurekalighting.com Opendo Trilux

Designed for schools and offices, Opendo yields a high light quality thanks to a lightemission surface across the entire luminaire width including the edges. The luminaire is available with different sensor systems, such as a CO2 sensor for measuring the air quality. Sophisticated mounting features simplify a needs-oriented installation as either surface-mounted or suspended luminaire. Due to optional through-wiring, the continuous line version requires only a single feed.
