The light blade comes from the concrete. When it’s off, it disappears. No visible luminaire structure, just a cut in the concrete with brutal and magic inspiration. Actually a technical prodigy, directly cast into the concrete, the product of a sophisticated and invisible genius fusing architecture and light in a natural way.
Ghost is a lighting void that is created using a polypropylene housing anchored to two retaining panels before pouring in concrete to make the structure. Once the concrete is dry, the housing is removed and a space is left, it is a natural and sharp cast created in the drying process.
Ghost is composed of two elements; the housing and the lighting element. The housing has two separate parts, firstly, a jig, which forms the housing, and is extracted together with the retaining panel after completing the casting and removing the anchor screws. Secondly, a housing that remains embedded inside the casting and houses the lighting element when the jig is removed. The housing is supplied with bolts, locking system and stickers to be applied on the outside of the retaining panels to ensure the perfect alignment if installing multiple luminaires.
The lighting element is die cast aluminium and is anchored to the casing through proper screws. It remains completely hidden in the void and is hard wired with a three meter cable. The LED lighting is supplied for a 230V circuit and comes in a 3000K colour temperature with a CRI of 80. Ghost Rectangular has a luminaire luminous flux of up to 360lm.
The IP65 rated luminaire is ideal for concrete based structures including residential and commercial properties as well as walls and facades. The flexible luminaire can be created in a horizontal or vertical position and can be positioned wherever is required.
