LEE Filters has introduced Zircon – a new range of LED lighting filter that is designed to offer quality, consistency and, above all, durability. It’s no secret that conventional lighting filter struggles with fade times when used in conjunction with LED lighting set-ups. Zircon filters are able to circumvent this problem, thanks to a new technology that gives them an increased lifespan of up to 200 times longer than standard lighting filters. Available as warming and diffusion filters, Zircon filters are study and long lasting and set a new standard in LED lighting filters. www.leefilters.com
The Ellipse, takes the circle to its final step. Sattler decided to close the circle with the development of the elliptical form. This shape, already found on the Circolo series is now available in the soft, filigree and elegant profiles of the Slim and Doppio. These are offered in three sizes up to a maximum of 275cm in length, which are ideally suitable for reception rooms, foyers and conference areas. www.sattler-lighting.com
Straitline LTS Easy to install, Straitline is a new economical solution for spaces requiring flush-mounted or hanging in-line lighting. It’s available as a standardised, pre-mounted LED module with fixed length in 60mm x 80mm. The individual profile elements are connected via mechanical eccentrics, while the electrical connection requires no more than the mating of two plug connectors. Straitline utilises foils in lengths of up to 30m, which are drawn into the profile in one piece. As a result, it can be used in any length without visible joints. StraitLine is available as a ceilingmounted or hanging lights solution. www.lts-light.eu

This year was my first time attending Light + Building. Aside from the abundance of espresso, food, and wine, three areas that stood out to me were optics, controllability, and decorative luminaires. The manufacturers that stood out the most demonstrated their ability to better control optics and glare of high powered LED point sources. Companies like Erco, Zumtobel, Kreon, iGuzzini, and acdc were doing nice things with small aperture recessed and track luminaires. Zumtobel and Erco impressed me by supporting the idea that light should be part of everyday lifestyles and control should be easy at home and in work environments. Lastly, I enjoyed seeing large scale decorative contemporary luminaires from companies like Sattler, Exenia, and Prolicht. I also liked seeing unique applications of standard fixtures. Companies like LED Linear and iGuzzini displayed interesting ways to use simple things like flexible linear LED products as decorative pieces. EMAD HASAN THE LIGHTING PRACTICE
