Technology
Exceptional architecture requires an equally exceptional solution for emergency lighting. In a cinema in Innsbruck, a ceiling-high column is installed in the middle of the lobby, connecting the floors with an elegant spiral ramp. The spiral ramp was already optimally illuminated by the existing light source, but due to the heavy public traffic, additional safety lighting was required to comply with legal regulations. In order to ensure adequate lighting without over-illuminating the space, some of the existing general luminaires were to be replaced with emergency luminaires.
Our EYE-90 emergency luminaires in silver were used for this project. Their small size makes the EYE-90 the perfect emergency luminaire for unobtrusive integration and efficient illumination of the surroundings. A custom-made 3D housing for the almost invisible recessed spotlight also made installation easier – it was not even necessary to intervene in the concrete foundation of the wall. This made it possible to create a balanced atmosphere that ensures both safety and aesthetics.
Revitalisation
Our challenge was to develop suitable safety luminaires that can be used both in continuous operation and in emergencies and can be integrated in the same housing as the general luminaire.
Technology
The fermentation gas can attack and corrode metals such as copper, resulting in damage to the metal components. For this reason, it was necessary to protect the emergency light, in particular the light source and the associated electronics, and to develop an appropriate solution.
