No bother with a hover with Siteco
An ultra-flat range of luminaires that can be recessed and surface, pendant and track-mounted in particularly demanding locations has been made even flatter with Siteco lighting systems' technology.
Drawing on its 140 years of manufacturing luminaires for internal and external applications, originally as part of the Siemens group, Siteco's Book of Light reveals how innovative and stunning lighting solutions have helped architects such as the Richard Rogers Partnership and Foster and Partners bring projects to life.
Examples of this include Aukett's HQ for Proctor and Gamble in Germany, Foster and Partners' Commerz Bank AG in Frankfurt and More London's mast, Richard Rogers Partnership's Madrid Barajas Airport and Faulkner Brown UK's Xscape indoor snow zone at Milton Keynes.
The Book of Light advises on the thought processes involved in the creation of good lighting design and emphasises Siteco's philosophy of "Orchestrated light" which aims to integrate daylight and artificial light in a symbiotic relationship.
It takes specifiers through the company's 500-strong portfolio of products that are designed to perform as well as inspire in themselves projects as diverse as prestige offices, high-tech plants, showrooms, auditoriums, parks, bridges and stadiums.
These include its core technologies: Mirrortec - a secondary reflector mirror system that significantly reduces the glare usually associated with flood lighting, Eldacon - a future orientated lighting control system that uses light-guiding microprism structures to create a glare-free, continually-illuminated surface brightness for office lighting, Daylight glazing systems - a range of glazing and louvre products that unlike tinting and blinds, allow natural light to pass freely into a building without associated heat.
