SpanLite PolyLite
Imagine a backlit panel with a lightbox only 31mm deep! That's what Spanlite have achieved with their patented PolyLite panel designs. Using acrylic sheet or low-iron glass, this technology makes bulky lightboxes a thing of the past - even for panels up to 2500mm wide! The technology also makes large structural lighting features possible (see the Venlo bridge example), and can be used to create illuminated shelving.
Venlo Bridge
PolyLite-glass was specified for the 450 metres length of walkways on both sides of the restored Maas River crossing at Venlo, Netherlands. The creative design, only made possible with PolyLite technology, was conceived and installed by partners Lagotronics BV of Venlo, the bridge being re-opened by HM Queen Beatrix in May 2007. The 244 no 1.8m wide x 1.2m tall laminated PolyLite-Glass panels are impact resistant, provide floor level lighting for pedestrians and cyclists and the subtle masking of the design in the PolyLite pattern has created a unique illuminated sculpture for users of the bridge and river traffic to enjoy. Overall power consumption of the LED's is just 2750w with a life expectancy of up to 10 years before any maintenance being needed, meaning real carbon reductions will have been achieved through good design.
Steelcase workstation
SpanLite supplied the LED integrated light panels and DMX control recently installed at the new HQ offices of PWC in Dublin. The light panels are programmed by DMX to change colour throughout the day and night to create dynamic or relaxing working moods. Ground floor panels face outwards to add colours to the Dublin nightime cityscape.
British Museum
Wellcome Foundation exhibit Edge-lit PolyLite panels were used to under light the "Cradle to the Grave" exhibit in the British Museum, sponsored by the Wellcome Foundation to display all the pills we might expect to take in our lifetime. The display used 1m wide x 1.8m span 10mm thick PolyLite acrylic with T5 lighting each side to create a cool, evenly lit surface to display the heat sensitive display on.
