UNITY
Designed by Acclaim
|
Unity fundamentally rethinks what an outdoor LED floodlight can be.
Unity uses the all-new Spectrum Five engine to give the lighting designer the perfect, high output / high CRI whites, dynamic white operation, and full color mixing in the same unit. It also provides a single, fully homogenized beam with no color striations or separation. Unity features Acclaim’s ColorSync Digital Color Calibration technology and
Aria Wireless control built into every unit.

Plusminus is a versatile lighting system that takes the concept of the light rail track system to a new level. The conductive textile belt at its core allows for free placement of the luminaires and the creation of unique light solutions on the spot. | |
The Beacon Urban is a bell style traditional luminaire that is equally at home in contemporary architectural environments. The Urban can be utilized for pedestrian lighting as well as parking and roadway applications. Luminaires are available in multiple styles and mounting options for site flexibility. |
The Micro Strike optics provide the most utilized distributions in area lighting applications. Urban luminaires features distributions of a Type 3 for the entrances, and Type 4 wide distribution around the building perimeter and a Type 5 square to provide sufficient coverage across the parking areas. Micro Strike optics also
provide minimal backlight to enhance street side efficiency and meet target light levels while using less energy.
• Key distributions for every day applications
• High efficacy and lumens per watt
• Single piece optic provides more visual comfort
• Field rotatable for flexibility in mounting orientations

Originally from Hong Kong, Tina Leung studied at Central Saint Martins in London, England, before returning to her roots to work for Innermost. She has also worked for Shanghai Tang and Alan Chan Design in Hong Kong. Tina joined Innermost in 2004 and her first products, including 'Kapow', were launched in February 2005.
Tina's work is influenced strongly by modern Asian animation and illustration styles and, in her own words, she “plays with materials to create opportunities”.
Buckle is a stainless steel pendant light and also an ambient lighting sculpture. Available in two sizes, it is neither a classic up or down-lighter but produces a unique effect all of its own. The feeling it creates has often been likened to light bouncing off water. The scale of the product makes it well suited to high atrium spaces and the low power LED unit means it is very low maintenance. This delicate lighting sculpture makes interesting reflections and highlights for a dramatic contrast and a great feature for any space.

The FLAT ceiling lights , with LED sources, are made from metallic planes placed at different heights.

Delicate yet strikingly graphic, a light that appears to be floating overhead.

Miguel Angel Ciganda’s collaboration with B.lux began in 1984, when they took their first steps into decorative lighting. Already established as an interior designer and decorator through the studio he founded in 1969, and having recently entered the field of industrial design, he eagerly brought his knowledge and inspiration to lighting design, resulting in pieces such as Dolce, Clon, and the classic Veroca. Each of these fixtures is marked by simplicity, elegance, and versatility, easily achieving the goal Ciganda sets for himself in all his work: timelessness.
Ciganda’s work, which has included furniture, décor, design, and lighting for banks, hotels, office buildings, bars, restaurants, and the incredible variety of facilities at the 1992 Universal Exposition of Seville, has earned him dozens of awards and honours throughout the course of his career. Even so, he remains essentially humble and focused on his designs, rather than their designer.
Philosophically, Ciganda believes that the furniture, lighting, and décor of any space should grow organically out of its architecture—but not at the expense of functionality. He is committed to the practicality of design, devoting attention to ergonomic soundness before becoming concerned with aesthetics. Moreover, of all concerns relevant to design, he regards the designer’s own ego and style as the least important.
And yet, despite this opinion, and though Miguel Angel Ciganda rejects the very concept of the designer-as-author, he nonetheless hopes to leave his own indelible mark on every design he creates. It is a contradiction he acknowledges, and one for which he can certainly be forgiven.
