Do you notice anything strange in the image below?

No? Neither do we. The room looks well-lit and comfortable.

But you may be surprised to learn that the light streaming from above is not natural sunlight– it’s from the CoeLux systems.

CoeLux is a lighting system that reproduces the effect of natural sunlight with a clear deep blue sky.

Produced by an Italian company of the same name, CoeLux combines three elements to achieve the amazing effect.

A cutting edge LED technology reproduces the sunlight’s spectrum, direction and brightness. An ingenious optical system reproduces the blue sky effect while a millimetre-thick nano-structured material that recreates the Rayleigh scattering process renders the light and colour elements to appear natural together.

Various studies have concluded that having a connection to the outdoors is good for the inhabitant of a built environment. In the case of completely enclosed or subterranean spaces, CoeLux may very well be the next best thing.

In Singapore, CoeLux is available from P5 Studio.
