The classic Serien Lighting App Wall LED Lamp

Clever light, creative diversity! A formally simple LED light cube shows what it’s made of. With its double-layered front surface, it opens up maximum design freedom. The range of available standard fronts alone extends from different textured surfaces and soft matt colors to mirrored surfaces and those with optical effects. If you want to make a statement or convey a message, APP can be personalized with individual prints. Notes, room numbers, company colors … The choice is yours.

The Serien Lighting APP wall light is not just an energy-efficient light source. Its customizable front surface, which provides visual depth and plasticity, also opens up unimagined design freedom. APP thus becomes a potential information carrier, guidance system and design element. The latest long-life technology is contained in two high-intensity replaceable LED boards. These emit intense light symmetrically upwards and downwards, which is reflected into the room via the wall, ceiling and floor. The light falling through the side of the cuboid, on the other hand, is gently diffused and completely glare-free! The choice of front surface has no influence on the room light itself, as its carrier plate is opaque. An efficient heat sink on the back of the cuboid ensures heat dissipation and is also a design element.

Whether arranged in rows, graphically or in a deliberately free arrangement – APP is predestined for multifunctional use. In private rooms, hotels, hospitals, office buildings, corridors, entrance areas and staircases, which APP transforms into conceptual lighting installations.

The Serien Lighting App Wall LED is a wall light whose design you can determine yourself. This is because the front surface is available in many different versions. Whether textured like “Broken Ice” or “Comb”, fluorescent or with a reflective surface (Mirror): You decide in which design the App Wall presents itself. For this, it received the Design Plus Award at Light+Building 2016. The choice of surface has no influence on the lighting effect. The wall light from German manufacturer Serien Lighting is made of high-quality aluminum and polycarbonate.

Light Design with the Ingo Maurer Bulb Lamp

The light bulb has been a constant source of inspiration for the lighting designers of Ingo Maurer. Ingo Maurer’s career began in 1966 with the “Bulb”, a tribute to the light bulb. With ‘b.bulb’, Ingo Maurer is now launching a new generation of the ‘Bulb’ family. In keeping with the megatrend of mobility, it is a battery-operated version of the design classic. As a mobile companion, it follows its owner everywhere, from the bedroom to the living room, to the terrace or a picnic in the country. Its flexibility comes not only from its rechargeable battery, but also from its shatterproof glass head and splash-proof protection. Like the original from 1966, the 20 cm tall “b.bulb” is made of noble materials such as a chrome-plated aluminium base and a glass body. In contrast to the “Ingo Maurer Bulb“, the latter is not transparent but matt and thus provides a warm, soft light. Thanks to “dim to warm” technology, the “b.bulb” adapts to any lighting situation. The efficient LED technology ensures that the battery lasts up to 10 hours at full power. The battery as well as the LED unit and glass head are available as spare parts and can be replaced as the components are mostly screwed together and not glued or welded. The “b.bulb” is almost completely dismantleable and recyclable into its components such as the aluminium base and lamp head made of glass, metal and electronics. “We attach great importance to sustainability in our new products, which is why recycling and purity of type play an increasingly important role,” explains Claude Maurer, Managing Director of Ingo Maurer.

It all began with the “Ingo Maurer Bulb” from 1966. It was the starting signal for his work as a product designer. The oversized homage to the light bulb was created in Venice. “My father liked to tell about the moment of inspiration: after a fantastic meal and a bottle of red wine, he was lying on the bed in his cheap hotel room. Above him floated a naked 15-watt light bulb whose beauty touched him. He immediately fell in love with this mixture of poetry and technology – a love that stayed with him for the rest of his life,” Claude Maurer describes the decisive moment. He developed the idea to exaggerate the bulb, went to Murano and had a glass and a base made there – thus an icon of the Pop Art era was born. The oversized light bulb was included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York as early as 1969. Again and again, different glasses, sizes and colours as well as special editions with handmade insect models completed the series. Especially popular was the 56 cm high “Giant Bulb”, which was also launched in the 1960s. The original “Bulb” table lamp from 1966 is still produced today with mouth-blown crystal glass from Murano.

Ingo Maurer GmbH has been an owner-managed company for the development and production of extraordinary design lamps for over 50 years. In addition, the company has made its mark internationally with the realisation of design commissions in both the private and public sectors. Among the best-known designs for series production are Bulb (1966), the Ingo Maurer YaYaHo low-voltage system (1984) and the Ingo Maurer Lucellino wing lamp (1992). The lighting of the “Westfriedhof” (1998) and “Münchner Freiheit” (2009) underground stations in Munich, as well as the “Flying to Peace” pendulum for the Frankfurt Trade Fair (2018) and the “Silver Cloud” for the Munich Residenztheater (2019) are just a few highlights on the long list of commissioned works and spectacular one-off pieces for private clients and public buildings. Following the death of founder Ingo Maurer on 21 October 2019, Maurer’s daughter Claude, who had already been managing director at his side since 2011, is leading the family business in close coordination with the team that has grown over many years.

The Catellani Smith Ettorino lamp series

“In 2004, color found its way into our catalog for the first time. The collection was called PostKrisi. The color stood for rebirth and cheerfulness. Today, this color is celebrating its comeback”. The Ettorino lamps are also available in the classic black and white versions and, in the “colorful” version, play with the elegant combination of primary colors that mix blue, yellow and red. The development of an innovative kinematic system, filed as a patent, preceded these new articulated lamps with an essential design, personalized with surprising details. All the lamps are characterized by the presence of a red silhouette, a functional detail with a dancing shape. Ettorino T was developed as a desk lamp to provide correct illumination of the workstation, guaranteed by the mobility and rotation of the lamp. The Catellani & Smith Ettorino series includes table, floor, and clamp lamps. All lamps in this series are highly adjustable. The lamp arm and lamp head can be rotated and tilted individually. Depending on how the lamps are adjusted, the height of the lamp heads changes. Catellani Smith Ettorino lamps can be dimmed using a dimmer on the power cord or the lamp rod. The light source is an LED with a color temperature of 2,700 Kelvin (extra warm white).

The Class collection from the lighting manufacturer Vibia

Class was designed with great attention to detail by Sebastian Herkner. Its sturdy stand curves elegantly to embrace the grooved, cylindrical diffuser, giving the design an industrial aesthetic and a captivating presence. Whether illuminating a garden, walkway or outdoor area, the collection is a long-lasting solution that casts an inviting glow over its surroundings. Sebastian Herkner found the inspiration for Class in the classic lamppost, which he reinvented by borrowing from early 20th century designs and giving it the intimate effect of indoor lighting. The result is a “modern interpretation of the torch” that bathes the surrounding greenery in a soft, diffused and indirect light. As if reflecting the surrounding nature, Class exudes a “botanical character”, especially the version with two asymmetrical diffusers, which is available as a wall or floor lamp. “Its vertical structure and gentle curve are reminiscent of reeds or grass, but not in an obvious way,” he emphasises. Harmony and intuition are the driving forces behind Herkner’s creative processes, and Class is no exception. “It is a balance between precision and craftsmanship,” notes the designer.Elegant and timeless, the refined silhouette of this cylindrical vibia lamp gently meets an impressive study of materiality in aluminium, borosilicate glass and matt polycarbonate.

New LED chips and LED solutions for customised applications

LEDs are ubiquitous as light sources today and are increasingly displacing conventional light sources. In application fields such as the automotive industry, sensor technology and medicine, manufacturers are exploiting the potential of the technology in ever new innovative functions. Here, LEDs improve safety, open up new design options and accompany the transformation in the field of smart technology. In terms of the share of the product range in the lighting product group in electrical wholesale, the share of LEDs is already around 15 percent (as of 2020).
LED production is still in a development process. As a result, suitable standard solutions are not immediately available for all conceivable fields of application. Developers are therefore often forced to align innovative products with existing components, which proves to be an additional hurdle. As a distributor and manufacturer of optoelectronic components, Chips 4 Light offers an alternative: LED chips as well as individual, customised LEDs offer developers and manufacturers the possibility of adapting the LED to their plans, instead of the other way round as is often the case. In particular, the demand for miniaturisation can be better met by integrating LED chips in special applications.
Chips 4 Light distributes and processes LED chips (bare die), i.e. pure semiconductors without substrate, encapsulation material or optics. The company offers a broad portfolio of LED chips from UV to infrared and white, different chip sizes from 6 to 80 mil, detectors and also laser diodes. With individual solutions, Chips 4 Light is dedicated to the special requirements of its customers for optoelectronic components and realises these already in small and medium quantities.
The Bavarian company’s further competence lies in the development of complete LED components as finished components that can be soldered directly onto a circuit board. Chips 4 Light thus offers its customers maximum flexibility in integration and supports its customers from prototype development to complete series production.
“We offer our customers both an extensive portfolio of LED chips, LEDs, detectors and laser products from leading manufacturers and the comprehensive know-how to generate LEDs even in small and medium quantities,” explains Dr. Wolfgang Huber, Managing Director of Chips 4 Light GmbH from Sinzing. “In addition to technical expertise, we have the necessary equipment to sort and measure LED chips on behalf of customers, or even to transfer them to a waffle pack for long-term storage and to measure individual laser diodes.”
In the chip handling area, Chips 4 Light works with die sorters. The fully automated sorting system is used for sorting semiconductor chips to remove small and sample quantities from the wafer and to provide customer-specific quantities.
In LED development, Chips 4 Light uses advanced software simulations to calculate lenses and plan thermal management according to customer specifications.
“We aim to find the right solution for every customer-specific requirement, no matter how far it is from the market standard,” emphasises Dr Huber.

Ingo Maurer presents some app for smart lighting control

Operating, dimming, selecting lighting scenes – with “Ingo Maurer Digital”, Ingo Maurer GmbH presents its app for smart control of lamps. The app is available for free download for iOS and Android in the App Store and the Google Play Store.

The first lamp that can be operated with the “Ingo Maurer Digital” app is the MOODMOON model by designer Sebastian Hepting. The lamp is distinguished by its characteristic interplay of the finest Japanese paper and innovative LED technology. The app makes it possible to reproduce different lighting moods and colour gradients at a defined speed. Users can choose between 14 different lighting moods, relaxing or invigorating colour gradients. The brightness of the dimmable lamp can also be individually regulated via the app. Thanks to the special structure of the Japanese paper, the lighting effect of the MOODMOON gives it a uniquely lively surface.

“With the app, users bring their lamp to life,” emphasises David Engelhorn, designer at Ingo Maurer. “The atmosphere in the room can be changed effortlessly via the smartphone or tablet. Whether it’s for a place of relaxation or a concentrated work situation, the lamp can be adapted to individual needs with the help of the variably usable tool.”

Thanks to its smart operation, MOODMOON is an innovative, charismatic companion from the private sphere to commercial use: its colour gradients provide the desired relaxation in medical practices and wellness areas or set a stylistic accent in hotel lobbies, retail areas or public facilities. Users can integrate and save several MOODMOON lamps in the Ingo Maurer app and control them individually and run them in parallel. As the lamp emits its own WLAN, it can also be controlled via the app in places where there is no internet, such as on a mountain hut or on a yacht.

The Ingo Maurer team is constantly developing the app further so that it will also offer future products and projects a wide range of possible applications for individual lighting control. In future, it will be possible to link several lamps, even across different rooms, via WLAN in order to combine colour gradients simultaneously or with variable dynamics. Individual mood packages, for example in desired CI colours, will also be available for projects on request. Regular updates will inform end customers about the latest functions of the app.
