Lighting Pad is the name of the sound-absorbing acoustic element with brilliant LED lighting that the Nimbus Group is premièring at Light + Building 2018. The development of "acoustic light" represents a highlight to CEO Dietrich F. Brennenstuhl: "By merging both product worlds of the Nimbus Group with one another so consistently for the first time, we are opening up our full potential to designers."
Workplaces, meeting points, lounges, hotel and catering facilities – these are places where people work, communicate and eat together. Concentration and relaxation lie side-by-side, work is combined with moments of informality and slips into the realm of personal affairs. Light and acoustics play an important role in accompanying the different types of atmosphere and creating a feeling of well-being.
LIGHT-ACOUSTICS PERFORMANCE
The Lighting Pad is used in almost every area where a highquality light and acoustics solution is demanded. The lightacoustics module is available in various shapes, colours and sizes, and allows users to react flexibly to spatial specifications and develop tailor-made solutions – alone or arranged in groups or in specific structures.
AN EFFICIENT SOUND ABSORBER WITH A BRILLIANT LIGHTING EFFECT
The haptically pleasant fleece surface masks a highly efficient sound absorber. At first sight almost invisible, the fleece integrates high-performance LEDs that are recessed in its surface. The LEDs emit a brilliant, high-quality, glare-free light through so-called freeform lenses, developed by the renowned Bartenbach laboratory.
At the same time, with its height of just 60 millimetres, the Lighting Pad is highly effective in terms of acoustic performance. "Acoustic light" is the term coined by the Nimbus Group for the performance of the Lighting Pad. "Our new product is an excellent sound absorber in the highest absorption class A, making it an ideal problem-solver in communication environments with exacting requirements in terms of speech intelligibility," states Dietrich F. Brennenstuhl.
FROM THE CONFERENCE HALL TO THE LOUNGE
Architects, planners and interior designers appreciate the purely acoustic elements developed by the Nimbus Group – the Rossoacoustic Pads – and have already used them in many a renowned architectural project. The new hybrid of luminaire and acoustic panel considerably expands the possible applications in various types of construction projects – from conference rooms, foyers and single workplaces through to restaurant lighting. The high quality of the Lighting Pad also lends itself to a range of different interiors: discreetly hovering beneath a stucco ceiling in a historical building or as a playful highlight in an otherwise practical ambience. The variants inspire diversity and creativity in design: whether circular or rectangular, whether in white, light grey or glacier blue – the light-acoustics module offers a wide variety of options.
