Commercial

A calm, high office lobby at dusk: two long recessed lines of Mai light in a smooth plaster ceiling, a spotted-gum batten wall washed by a third line, three small black Vinci pendants on slim rods in a row over a travertine reception desk, a receptionist smiling behind it, a curved bouclé sofa, an olive tree and an ochre painting, and a man in a charcoal suit waving goodbye at the closed glass doors.

Lobby lighting

The Lobby lit by tunable

Light from the kerb to the lift.

Scroll Skip to specs

Every arrival, in its own light.

Wall lights on the stone outside, lines of light in the ceiling, three small pendants over the desk.

Dawn at an office entrance: a smiling cleaner in a teal tunic holds her swipe card to the reader at the closed glass doors beside her trolley, under a dark canopy, with a slim black Gould wall light at the top of each of four sandstone piers grazing warm light down the grooved stone, and a peach sunrise reflected in the glass.

06:30 · First light

The building wakes gently.

Before the sun clears the street, Gould wall lights graze the sandstone from above, their louvred cells holding the glare down to UGR <19.

The morning rush: five people walk in through the open glass doors, a man in a charcoal suit raising his coffee, a red-haired woman in a mustard rain jacket with a cycling helmet, a woman in a camel trench coat, an older man in a navy vest and a young man with a backpack, under two long recessed lines of Mai light, while the receptionist waves from the travertine desk.

08:30 · The morning rush

Follow the line in.

Two crisp recessed lines of Mai cells lead from the doors to reception, glare-controlled to UGR <19, so the whole lobby is bright without a hot spot in sight.

The first impression of the building. Staff like arriving to it too.

Tunable white

Crisp by day. Warm by night.

On DALI-2 DT8 the same façade lights tune from a fresh daylight white for the morning to a warm white as the street goes quiet.

A man in a charcoal suit with a coffee walks past the office entrance in the early morning, the four slim Gould wall lights grazing crisp cool white light down the sandstone piers. — 6500K, cool white

The same entrance and the same man, the Gould wall lights now grazing a warm white down the stone. — 2700K, warm white

Tunable white adjusts from 6500K to 2700K.

Also available in a fixed 3000K or 4000K.

In bright morning light the receptionist in a navy blazer hands a visitor's pass to a silver-haired man in a camel overcoat, in front of the spotted-gum batten wall washed evenly by a recessed line of Mai light, under two long Mai lines in the ceiling.

09:15 · Reception

The welcome wall.

One recessed line of Mai cells washes the timber behind the desk from top to bottom, at CRI 90, so the grain and every face look true.

Visitors in. Parcels out.

A relaxed meeting in the lobby lounge: a red-haired woman in a cream knit and a bearded man in a light blue shirt laugh over a laptop and two flat whites on a curved bouclé sofa, under two long recessed lines of Mai linear cells in the plaster ceiling.

11:00 · The lobby lounge

Talk, not glare.

Straight recessed lines of Mai cells run overhead, deep-set to UGR <19, so nobody looks up into glare and faces show true at CRI 90.

Beam angles

Small, on a slim rod.

Vinci comes in Ø100mm, Ø150mm and Ø200mm sizes and 24°, 36° and 60° beams, surface-mounted or hung on a slim rod, like the three over this desk.

A grinning courier in a green polo wheels a hand trolley of three boxes across the lobby as the receptionist points him to the desk, under three small black Vinci pendants hanging on slim rods over the travertine counter.

13:00 · Deliveries

Light where the parcels land.

Three small Vinci pendants hang on slim rods over the desk and light the counter where the parcels, the pens and the sign-in happen, at CRI 90.

A rainy afternoon at the office entrance: a laughing woman in a red raincoat shelters under the canopy with a navy umbrella, the paving wet and glossy, and the four slim Gould wall lights grazing warm light down the rain-darkened sandstone piers.

IP65

Rain on the stone.

Sealed to IP65, the Gould wall lights keep grazing the façade through the wind-driven rain.

Dusk in the lobby: a woman with a grey pixie cut in a black coat reaches the closed glass doors, smiling back at a man in a charcoal suit and a red-haired woman in a mustard rain jacket, while the receptionist waves goodbye, under warm recessed lines of Mai light.

18:00 · Home time

A warm send-off.

As the street turns blue, the ceiling lines tune down to a warm white, and the lobby glows through the closed glass.

After hours in the lobby: the smiling security guard in a navy uniform walks his rounds across the limestone floor in front of the empty travertine desk, a torch at his side, under three small Vinci pendants glowing warm amber, the ceiling lines and the timber wall dimmed to a low warm glow, the glass doors closed on a blue night.

20:00 · After hours

Low, warm, and watched over.

After hours everything dims right down on DALI-2: three small warm pools over the desk for the night rounds, and a lobby that still looks open from the street.

Control

One building, one system.

Façade wall lights, ceiling lines and pendants all run on DALI-2, so they can be grouped, dimmed, tuned and set into scenes for opening, the working day, evening and after hours, and linked to sensors in the DALI-2 system you choose.

How DALI-2 works

The facilities manager in a forest-green blazer points up at the three small black Vinci pendants on slim rods over the reception desk, smiling, beside the architect in a black turtleneck holding a roll of drawings, in warm late afternoon light.

Friday · The handover

Built for the long run.

Every light in this lobby is rated for 50,000 hours or more, with a 5‑year warranty.
