Culture, Galleries and Events

UV free daylight for collections and displays, with no conservation risk.

Galleries have spent a long time managing a conflict. Daylight is the light we judge everything by, and daylight is also what damages the work hanging in front of it.

Colour, texture and depth all read most truthfully under a full spectrum, which is why daylight has always been the reference standard for viewing. The problem was never the light itself but the ultraviolet arriving alongside it. A gallery able to put daylight quality light directly onto a work, and graze it down a wall to reveal surface and relief, is doing something the building has historically had to protect against. Exhibition spaces gain the same openness and atmosphere.

Why it works here

Health and mood

Regular exposure to daylight helps regulate sleep, lifts mood and supports mental wellbeing.

A connection to nature

We are outdoor beings who spend our days inside. Our eyes want to see sky, and a building that gives them one feels different to occupy.

A more spacious feel

Light draws the eye upward, so low ceilings and deep plans read as considerably larger and more open.

Circadian rhythm

Colour and brightness shift every 6 seconds to follow the real sun at site latitude.

Better days, better nights

A daylight cycle indoors helps balance the body clock, supporting alertness through the day and recovery at the end of it.

Lux calculations

We model the layout and confirm levels at floor before you specify, not after.

Photometric data

IES and LTD files, dimensioned vector outlines and datasheets available per model.

No ultraviolet at all

Works, prints and textiles are not degraded. This removes the conservation constraint rather than managing it.

Output for tall ceilings

5000 lux at 3 metres and 1500 lux at 10 metres, and installed as high as 15 metres.

Control and integration

DALI DT6 and DT8 via gateway, wired panel, wireless panel or app.

Risk free installation

No roof penetrations, no water ingress risk and no roof access. The building envelope stays intact.

Fast installation

One trade rather than four. No scaffold, no weather dependency and no open roof on a live site.

Demountable and reusable

In exhibition builds, panels can be struck and reinstalled across shows rather than written off with the set.

5 year warranty and support

A 50,000 hour rated life, serviceable drivers, layouts and renders, and a formal CPD course for your team.
