The workplace requires delightful, uniform light. Jakob MAUL's redesigned LED lamp head provides this light with the light diffuser manufactured by PLEXIGLAS® Satinice df23.
"The quality of the light in the workplace has a significant impact on the enthusiasm and performance of the workforce," said Uwe Hartmann, research and development engineer at Jakob MAUL. In the worst case, improper or dim lighting can even be detrimental to health. It is important to provide delightful lighting - for example, without the glaring or annoying shading, "Hartmann explains.
Energy-efficient office lighting
However, energy efficiency in office lighting is equally important when a company has a large number of luminaires, so Jakob MAUL in Bad König added LED luminaires to their product lines. "The advantages of these modern lighting systems are obvious 'Says Hartmann. "They outperform traditional lighting in terms of light output, efficiency and lifetime, and in addition, the slim design is possible thanks to the smaller size of the LED."
However, LED lamps also place more demands on the lamp material, for example, better heat resistance than other types of lighting systems.In addition, LED lamps require light diffusing elements to distribute spot light in an optimal manner 'The LEDs themselves do not produce pleasing lighting,' Hartmann said.
As a result, Jakob MAUL not only adjusted the heat sink in the latest generation of LED tabletop luminaires, but also used a diffuser for the first time, and the diffuser was mounted on the front of the LED to provide a larger lighting surface in combination with the reflector. Avoiding ghosting, making the lighting area less obtrusive and accurately presenting an infinitely adjustable color temperature, "Hartmann said.
High diffusion and light transmission
Jakob Maul company uses injection molding process, the light-diffusion molding compound PLEXIGLAS Polaroid Satinice df23 processed light diffusion lampshade. This special molding material from Evonik, is especially to meet the lighting system requirements and the development, because the light is different Function: it not only provides proper lighting for offices, industrial sites or streets, but it also creates ambience or settings for different scenes. "Every function that light can do has different requirements for light diffusion or light guide material. "Says René Kogler, product manager at Evonik." So we developed different formulations of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for each application. "
Function and design combined
Jakob MAUL found the most suitable product. "We decided to use PLEXIGLAS Satinice df23 because this material gives us the best light diffusion with less loss of light transmission," Hartmann said. The combination of the two can provide efficient lighting for office space.
This redesigned lamp cap for all MAUL models 'Made in Germany' is very persuasive and its design was recognized by the 2018 German Design Award Jury: MAULoptimus, a new lamp head product, has won this prestigious design Award nomination.
