Crafting space with light requires knowledge, experience, and expertise. Architectural lighting design is the act of crafting space — exterior and interior — with light. This is illumination done in concert with architecture.

At its core, lighting is about creating a sense of place and atmosphere using light as the main medium of expression. It’s about fulfilling the practical needs of a project, whatever the programme might be. It means having one’s work blend seamlessly with the architecture, often at the risk of not being seen. It’s about giving definition to a space. And XAL is passionate about all these aspects.

In a time of highly diverse requirements they offer the necessary process quality, flexibility and internationality to develop sustainable concepts that go far beyond short-lived trends. This is the principle that the ‘Helios’ LED light embodies in a surprising and equally simple manner. Through patented prism technology, its exceptionally flat, innovative light head allows for both upward and downward directed light for individually configurable lighting situations: direct light for the immediate surroundings and at the same time harmonious ambient light through indirect ceiling illumination.

Soothing calm also has a role to play in lighting design. This is why the ‘Sonic’ is not just an LED light with a consciously elegant design, but is also a unique sound absorber. The patented soundproofing element of its conical luminaire head is based on a specially shaped styrofoam carrier with hexagonal sound openings. The multi-layered covering of sound absorbing fabric and a woven surface not only provides effective noise attenuation but also exceptional visual impact. XAL shows that silence can be beautiful.
