Bespoke Lighting Solutions
Optelma creates tailored lighting designs for unique architectural requirements. Our process begins with concept development, incorporating client vision and technical specifications. Prototyping ensures designs meet performance standards before production. We specialise in integrating lighting into complex spaces, offering solutions that balance aesthetics with functionality. Our team collaborates with architects to deliver installations that enhance spatial dynamics while maintaining energy efficiency.
Linear Lighting Systems
Our linear systems provide seamless illumination for commercial and residential environments. The Mini Profile range offers versatile configurations, including curved and recessed options. These solutions combine slim profiles with high lumen output, delivering up to 5000 lm/m. Designed for both surface and suspended installations, they create dynamic lighting schemes adaptable to various architectural styles while maintaining technical precision.
LED Tape and NeonFlex
Optelma's LED tape and NeonFlex products offer adaptable lighting for intricate designs. With colour temperatures from 2700K to 6500K and outputs up to 4176 lm/m, these systems provide precise illumination control. The flexible profiles enable creative applications in tight spaces, while RGBW options allow dynamic colour changes. These solutions integrate seamlessly with our linear systems for cohesive lighting schemes across commercial interiors.
Lighting Consultation
Our experts provide comprehensive lighting strategy development from project inception. We advise on light intensity, colour temperature, and distribution to optimise spatial ambiance. Technical support includes photometric analysis and installation guidance. This service ensures lighting solutions align with architectural intent while meeting energy efficiency targets.
