Plug-and-play lighting tiles
|
The Lighting Research Center and ASSIST are developing a flexible interior infrastructure that will integrate solid-state lighting with other building materials and systems. The system would make it as easy to redesign lighting as it to move furniture: no need to drill holes or call an electrician.
A prototype room has been built to showcase the concept. The ceiling and walls consist of thin LED-lighted panels that snap in and out of a modular electrical grid and provide different lighting distributions. The panels can be rearranged rapidly to cater to changing room layouts or personal preference. The LED panels are controlled by a touch-screen monitor mounted on the wall. Via TRN research news. |
