Osram wins ‘Controls Product of the Year ’ Encelium Wireless, Osram’s secure wireless light management system, was awarded best product in the category ‘Controls Product of theYear’ at the 2017 Lux Awards.

Suitable for any building size and able to work properly in a wireless mesh, it offers exceptional benefit to the industry, which is important for larger projects. The judges were especially impressed by the core element of Encelium: Polaris 3D. The 3D colour gradient visualisation highlights the efficiency of the installation, and immediately reports the sav- ings achieved.Together with the Encelium hardware and the field elements of the system, it is possible to increase energy savings by up to 75 percent.

Encelium Wireless was designed from the ground up as a software-based, integrated light management system that dynamically responds to the changing characteristics of a building by providing the right amount of light when and where it is required, thereby saving energy. It is suitable for offices, industry and warehouses, shops and sport halls.

Exclusive, quality lighting

“We use a combination of ambient, accent and task lighting,” says Streamlight designer and direc- tor, Brad Kalish. “These can be layered, with soft ambient lighting complementing accent lighting, which highlights feature areas and/or task lighting, which provides functional lighting for a preparation area or workspace”. Streamlight is one of few lighting companies in South Africa to manufacture and distribute its own range of original and customisable products. “As a team of designers with a passion for lighting, we create a visually stimulating environment that complements every space. Each project receives class, style, sophistication, functionality. We are abreast with trends in the lighting industry and en- sure each client receives the most practical, modern and cost-effective outcome,” concludes Kalish.

Established in 1995, Streamlight specialises in lighting layout design and supplies exclusive, qual- ity lighting for corporate, residential and hospitality spaces. Lighting is the first element of design.Without it there is no colour, texture or form, which is why the lighting designer should be part of the architectural process from the start. Lighting highlights archi- tecture and brings architectural elements to life. It breathes life into a room, creating an atmosphere that complements the architecture and interior. Streamlight sets itself apart from other lighting companies by offering a range of exclusive light- ing brands including Vibia, Studio Italia, Karman; Arturo Alvarez; Grok and Ilfari. Local and imported lighting ranges are exhibited in Streamlight’s newly renovated showroom and the collections on offer feature everything from pendants to LED strip lights to outdoor lighting.
