Munkegaard emits a gentle, diffuse, downward directed
light through a newly designed diffuser built up in a 2-layer
principle: a clear, toughened glass disc below and an opal
acrylic disc above. This set-up ensures retention of the origi-
nal comfortable light emission.
The challenge has always been to ensure a uniform surface
on the fixture to avoid strong points of luminance, allowing
the fixture to blend seamlessly into the ceiling surface with-
out creating extra points. The new design has solved this
problem, thus making more efficient use of the LEDs.
The LEDs themselves are powerful points of light, so the
challenge is to ensure the adequate level of light to illumi-
nate the room while simultaneously avoiding a ‘spotty’ sur-
face. Louis Poulsen has therefore developed a special layout
of LEDs with sufficient distance from the diffusing acrylic disc
and glass so as to eliminate these points.
Each LED board is specifically designed for each size. Each
LED is individually positioned to assure the best possible
light quality.
This not only allows optimal light comfort and room atmos-
phere, but also doubles the efficiency.
