SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 18, 2024 – Artemide, a renowned leader in lighting design, introduces Hoy Refractive, an innovative addition to its acclaimed Hoy family of luminaires. This new variant leverages Artemide's patented Refractive technology, offering a highly efficient and visually comfortable lighting solution for modern workspaces.
Compact Design, Exceptional Performance
Hoy Refractive features compact optical cells that minimize multiple shadows, ensuring uniform and highly efficient light distribution. Its slim 10 cm profile sets new standards for workplace lighting, enabling precise control of the light beam, which is directed exclusively onto the work surface. This targeted illumination complements the existing Hoy linear modules, which efficiently distribute diffused light throughout the entire room with controlled glare.
Versatile Configurations for Diverse Applications
Hoy Refractive pendant modules are optionally available with indirect light distribution for general lighting. In the Hoy System, these modules can be combined with elements offering diffused light distribution, adjustable spotlights, or sensor modules. Hoy Refractive is available in pendant and ceiling versions, in two lengths for the Hoy System and Stand Alone versions. Additionally, a 60 cm long module can be mounted on a three-phase track, making Hoy Track an ideal solution for projects with existing track infrastructure.
The Refractive Technology Advantage
Artemide's patented Refractive technology maximizes efficiency within a compact design. A specially developed lens captures 100 percent of the light emitted by the LED and delivers it to the illuminated surface with minimal scattering loss, ensuring an efficiency of over 90 percent. The lens acts as the primary optical system, capturing and redirecting the luminous flux without affecting the cell geometry, preventing any deterioration in light emission quality. The small cells housing the LEDs and lenses serve as shielding, preventing direct glare from certain angles without compromising the luminous flux. The result is clean, pure light with properties determined solely by the primary optics.
Beyond the Workspace
The compact dimensions and configuration flexibility of Hoy Refractive make it an effective and unique lighting solution not only for workspaces but also for various other applications.
