Kometa from Concord Lighting: office lighting goes full circle
Date story added: 25/09/04
The new Kometa light fitting from Concord Lighting offers an interesting and innovative approach to workplace lighting that breaks the mould of linear, angular office aesthetics – yet can be easily integrated into any standard suspended ceiling grid. At the same time it complies with contemporary lighting design thinking, by throwing a balanced ratio of light on all the main room surfaces.
Kometa looks and performs like no other office lighting fixture. Firstly, its circular form, housing a combination of compact fluorescents and circular T5, is based within a standard, 600x600mm square ceiling tile, so it can be easily installed in any commercial workspace. The tile is available in two finishes, smooth and textured, in RAL1010 white – but a wide range of colours and finishes can also be ordered, to suit most interiors.
The two sets of lamps can be independently switched – or dimmed with integral electronic gear – to create a variety of lighting effects. The 40W circular T5 ambient lighting component, hidden within a highly effective polycarbonate diffuser, drops just below the ceiling plane, to throw diffuse light on the ceiling and walls; while the single TC-TEL lamp (26 or 32W) mounted within the central open reflector ring, acts as a direct downlight component, to gently illuminate the working plane.
The result is a highly original luminaire, combining ambient lighting and downlighting in a single, stylish fitting. Uniquely, too, Kometa meets current LG3 recommendations, by creating a ceiling illuminance which is 30% of working plane levels – and a wall illuminance equivalent to 50%.
Combining strong aesthetic appeal and ideal visual conditions, Kometa from Concord Lighting is the complete lighting solution for today’s modern workplace.
