Now here’s a really cool light technology. It’s recreates how sunlight looks through a skylight, which means you can have sunlight 24 hours a day or deep in the recesses of your venue. An Italian company, CoeLux, developed the product, which won the Lux Awards 2014 Light Source Innovation of the Year.
“The scientists who invented the light figured out how to use a thin coating of nanoparticles to accurately simulate sunlight through Earth’s atmosphere and the effect known as Rayleigh scattering,” Michael Zhang reported for PetaPixel. “It’s not just the color temperature that’s the same—the quality of the light feels the same, as well.”
The company says the technology is ideal for all types of indoor spaces and that future improvements will allow changes to the position of the sun in the frame and the color temperature of the sunlight.
I could imagine, for example, this being implemented in convention centers, especially in meeting spaces. Place a few of these in the ceiling, and it’s like you’re having a meeting outdoors!
