Solar panels are becoming a popular way to generate energy for homes, offices, and other buildings. However, the way energy is distributed within buildings is typically AC-based, while many devices and lighting systems run on DC power. As a result, the energy from solar panels must be converted from DC to AC and then back […]
It is reassuring when companies show a strong devotion to sustainable production methods. This inspires us to work even harder towards sustainable alternatives. Lovia Collection is a Finnish fashion label that dedicates itself to minimizing waste during manufacturing. They purchase leftover materials from other factories as a base for their bag and jewelry collections. Lovia […]
The Google warehouse catalog with selected light configurations is now published. The catalog also includes the new corner modules, the acoustic absorber add-ons, and the LUO-light corner version. It is fun to browse this catalog, and watch the models in interactive 3D but also to load the models to your handheld devices and place them […]
Would you like to explore LUO-light configurations in your own office, home, or in any other of your spaces? Then please send us your wish. We provide Augmented Reality models with custom-made LUOlight configurations to our customers. This also helps designers to efficiently evaluate the positioning of the lights without the need for real objects. […]
We recommend planners use our extended digital design tools, from advanced parametric add-ons for Revit and Archicad, photometric files to augmented reality models. All those can be found in the download section of our website. But there is also a much more elementary way to familiarize yourself with LUOlight´s modularity: A traditional scissor cut. Just […]
This coming weekend we have Open Doors. This is another good opportunity to sneak a peek under the hood of our lighting system. Welcome to hands-on experiences with new sustainable lighting, try modular combinations, and create your own lighting scenes.
Some of our customers asked us if Luo-light modules can form squares or rectangular shapes. Our new corner pieces (made from sustainable bamboo) make this possible. Surprisingly, besides more rigid forms like squares or rectangulars, the corner modules also offer the possibility to create lighting that resembles ornaments. The corner pieces are not yet standard […]

Acoustic absorption panels improve the comfort and room quality of interior spaces. The LUOlight system connects with acoustical elements that are cut from rectangular 12mm strong boards. We provide flat circular infill panels that are used with the small D85 circle as well as 3-dimensional inlays that appear like sculptures. The shapes are the result […]
