Light shapes our life. It influences our emotions. It enhances our mood. Colour temperatures affect our biological rhythm. The balance between dark and light can be both relaxing and calming. Whilst monotone or insufficient light can induce tiredness, an optimal level of lighting increases alertness and sharpens concentration. Yet, on top of all that, light is also an architectural styling tool that can be used for shaping modern living spaces, both in public and commercial buildings: at home, in museums, offices or shops – light can be used everywhere to enhance the architecture, especially with AmbienArt, the lighting system of the new AmbienTech program from in-akustik. AmbienArt breaks away from conventional room lighting schemes in which a light hangs from the middle of the ceiling, backed up by a lamp in the corner. AmbienArt offers more than just an antidote to darkness; it comprises all lighting aspects – it provides light for sight and recognition, direct light, staged light, white light, coloured light, light that excites and calms, as well as light and shadow tricks. AmbienArt deploys the inexhaustible diversity of light. Only minimal system components are required to bring the desired light sources to the right places – they can even be retrofitted.
