Light Series 4

Ceramic Metal Halide


Illuminated by 150W ceramic discharge metal halide lamps, the central courtyard over the parking facility is intersected by suspended bridges and stairs that connect the building's laboratory and classroom spaces. (http://www.archlighting.com/)

Cold- Cathode Lighting



Solid State Lighting



Solid state lighting (SSL) point to a kind of light source that make use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) as sources of illumination instead of the electrical filaments or gas, which are used by incandescent, fluorescent, noble gas, or chemical lamp. SSL outshines traditional lighting system as it generates visible light with abridged heat generation. (gizmowatch.com)

Halogen Light

Fluorescent Lighting



Abundant fluorescent lighting is provided in this kitchen, both over the sink and over the stove area. The lighting over the stove is custom built and has several fluorescent fixtures that are obscured behind an architecturally correct panel. They produce direct downwards light for the counter and indirect light for the remainder of the kitchen.

Electrodeless Lighting


Electrode-less High Performance lamps are installed in the underground station.
In this high-performance fluorescent lamp the discharge needed to generate light does not take place between two electrodes, as in a conventional fluorescent lamp, but in a closed ring which has no beginning and no end. The energy is injected from outside via two ferrite rings by means of magnetic fields.
