MODULAR LIGHTING: INTRODUCTION
In this article we will talk about the aesthetic beauty and functionality of an innovation system revolution: modular lighting.
This lighting system has very special features that create unique effects within the walls of your home. It is used in a variety of ways, from clubs, bars and restaurants that use it to give the lighting a specific weight and meaning within its context, to offices that use it to illuminate large spaces such as open spaces.
The benefits of installing a modular lighting system are varied. Although they are not yet widespread in homes, they are experiencing a trend that will surely lead to their widespread use.
If you haven’t heard of modular lighting yet, it’s time to learn more! Who knows, it could also be a chance to overhaul your home lighting system, giving it a different and decidedly more creative flavor.
TRACK LIGHTING
When we talk about track lighting we mean a type of lighting consisting of a series of lights that run on a structure installed on the ceiling.
This lighting system consists of a binary mounted on the ceiling, in metal or plastic material on which various types of lighting fixtures are mounted. In addition, plexiglass is also sometimes used in some products.
Rails can be more or less visible, depending on the style we want to give to the decor, until they become an integral part of it.
The light fixtures to go with this track system are varied and can be removed very easily. In fact, they can be placed in various locations so as to best suit every need in the home environment and beyond.
Finally, track lighting lends itself perfectly to illuminating large spaces with modern and minimal design, even in the home environment.
MAIN TYPES
The bodies that make up the essence of the binary lighting system can take various shapes and sizes, depending on the environment in which they will be positioned. The style of the environment, in fact, as can be understood, will also influence the choice of the lighting body.
Any design ideas? Cylindrical, square, spherical. White, chromatic, colorful.
The choice is truly vast, and ready to meet every need. In fact, luminaires used in combination with tracks are extremely suitable for installation in modern interiors with minimal design.
CHARACTERISTICS
In the best binary lights, the type of lamp (technically called “lighting body“) that we can use in this system has an important weight. In fact, this element makes all the difference.
Because of its characteristics of flexibility and adaptability, we can combine the track system with either a series of spotlight luminaires or cylindrical luminaires that descend downward.
In addition, the choice will depend on the environment in which we are going to install our track system, and the style present within that environment.
However, the most versatile is the LED spotlight, which in the adjustable version makes it perfect for directing the light when required.
The type of light chosen for these luminaires is obviously LED, the undisputed protagonist of 21st century lighting. Thanks to its characteristics, LED allows significant energy savings, as well as ensuring excellent light quality.
BENEFITS
Especially when using LED lighting fixtures, this lighting system is an excellent choice also from the point of view of energy containment. Not only does the LED consume 80% less energy than halogen lamps, but the binary system avoids lighting in the areas not required.
In addition, a not insignificant benefit is the beauty and cleanliness of this lighting system.
Track lighting is an unobtrusive system both visually and aesthetically, especially when the lighting elements and track are in color harmony with the environment in which they are installed.
The tracks, available in both metal and plastic materials, even go so far as to be invisible. In this way they give greater prominence to the light fixtures, which take on as we see from the catalog, various shapes, sizes, and materials.
KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM
This lighting system can be used in any area of the house, precisely because of its versatility and ability to best illuminate any environment.
In the kitchen, for example, binary lighting will give its best. In fact, it provides a more intense beam of light where it is needed while maintaining constant and even illumination in the rest of the room.
Finally, binary lighting can also be an excellent choice for living areas and the living area in general. Due precisely to its characteristic of properly illuminating large spaces, track lighting, in addition to being an aesthetic choice, is very functional in these environments.
WORKING ENVIRONMENTS
Not only for the home, but also in the workplace, binary lighting is an excellent choice. In an office, for example, this system allows you to direct the light to the various workstations, without energy loss or over-lighting.
Track lighting is also excellent for commercial establishments, where the linearity and clean lines of the forms leave a clear field for the objects on display.
