our products. The LED technology used enables

us to design energy-saving luminaires with a high

lighting quality in di erent light colors. The exact

ensures life spans of well over 50,000 hours
due to the high cooling capacities,” explain mem-

bers of the SATTLER team. “Should the speci ed

maximum thermal values be exceeded, then our
boards react with a self-protection mechanism

without reducing the light power perceivable to
the human eye. Our boards are also protected

in case of an electrical surge or reverse polarity.”

For Dr. Bernas’ o ce, the illumination in each
room was carefully evaluated. The fresh and

bright waiting area features a generously propor-
tioned SLIM LED circular luminaire which emits

so illumination that complements the overall

positive appearance of the practice.
The reception desk area – which requires both

direct and indirect light – was out ed with two
Avveni pendant luminaires in combination with

recessed lights from the Avveni series for an aes-

thetically integrated design. Indirect light in the
form of invisible, straight, or bent LED light tracks

accentuates the reception area’s architecture and
generates glare-free lighting that also functions as

a guidance system in the corridor. The exible Av-

veni downlights swivel and tilt to provide guided
and focused light where needed while unobtru-

sively nestling into the acoustic ceiling.
In the treatment rooms, wide-area lighting

is supplied by individually controllable LED

lights that ful ll the necessary requirements for
medical needs while creating a non-glare light-

ing ambiance that is pleasant for the patients.
For the adjacent doctor’s consultation area,

a slim Doppio Linea pendant luminaire emits

discreet direct/indirect lighting above the desk
and creates a more comfortable environment for

private conversations between the doctor and
his patients.
