DeepLite - LIGHT FROM THE SKY IN UNDERGROUND SPACE

Objective

Energy efficiency policies foster innovation in lighting industry also driven by new, low energy consumption light emitting sources (LEDs). In this project we demonstrate that energy efficiency can be successfully combined to innovative lighting design and generate architectural contexts integrating illumination into spaces. On the other hand, these technologies must be carefully applied to avoid effects such as visual discomfort. In this scenario, CoeLux® enters as a game changer technology, since it demonstrates how LEDs might faithfully reproduce the true comfortable light of the outdoor. In so doing, the appearance and the illumination capacity of combined sky and sun light are reproduced. Spectators will consequently enjoy an open-air experience also indoor and in underground spaces. DeepLite proposes three demonstrations of CoeLux® capacities in three underground environments, i.e. in a historic building, a new subway line and an international airport, where architecture is tailored to bring the true landscape experience indoor.
