Integral Lighting - Clean Lines without Frames,
Bezels & Joints

Not so long ago electrical engineers had to pay a lot of attention to paint
colours, finishes and materials. It was very easy to get it wrong; the wrong
colour white, the wrong percentage of gloss and the wrong metal finish
often proved problematic for the engineer and client.

Another frequent bone of contention was the positioning of light fixtures in
an area. Architects often make engineers aware of their disappointment
when the clean lines of their space are interrupted by light fixtures.

Add to this the discomfort glare associated with direct lighting and the
problems can seem insurmountable.

Well thankfully Lighting Styles can solve the issues associated with using
traditional lighting by offering a variety of integrated lighting.

Simply put these plaster light fixtures become part of the building fabric,
and once painted, disappear into the walls or ceiling yet provide the accent
lighting or task lighting required in the space.

What’s more, linear integrated lighting allows the designer or architect to
play with light and shadows to enhance the design rather than detract from
it. But offering this flexibility does not have an impact on the engineers work
because this solution can still provide the lighting levels your space requires.

One size does not fit all...

The ideal solution with a wide range of plaster profiles specifically designed
to be plastered in place to provide the clean, knife edge finishes every
designer or architect would like to achieve.

Forming angles with a plaster product that can be cut on site is great when
working with those spaces where everything isn’t quite square.

For those who want something out of the norm there are products that offer
the ability to make curves, circles or simply great shapes to build upon.

All profiles can be used with a number of different LED tapes with a wide
range of light outputs and we will work with you if you need design help or
require us to achieve a specific project requirement.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

Now in addition to white LEDs and RGB chips (that offer colour mixing
facilities) we can now offer white LED products that change the colour
temperature of the white light on-the-fly.

This facility mimics natural light allowing the user to have cooler white light
during the middle of the day and warm white light when the long shadows
form on the ground outside.

Technology leaps ahead...

Our LED solutions push aside the bulky, inflexible and inefficient
fluorescent, cold cathode or xenon festoon systems that dominated this
market.

These LED solutions offer the engineer higher efficiency and colour
required and when used with the latest dimmable power supplies give the
true versatility your design requires.
