Learning better with good light: XOOMINAIRE goes to school with the Theodor Fliedner High School in Duesseldorf

Duesseldorf – School has begun and everything is finished and ready in time for the start of the new year: seven classrooms of the Theodor Fliedner High School in Duesseldorf are already equipped with the new LED luminaires of LED Linear™.

With the linear luminaire XOOMINAIRE™ seven classrooms are shining a new light. The three lines of light in the ceiling provide a bright and even illumination of the horizontal and vertical surfaces – the basis for optimal viewing and learning conditions. The effect that light has on humans is indisputable and so quality of lighting is becoming increasingly important. The right light in schools contributes to many benefits, which previously gained less attention in lighting design. Learning ability, concentration and health are all seen to improve. Students at Theodor Fliedner High School are now learning under better conditions: the light does not flicker, the illuminance on the tables is properly tuned and the lighting is absolutely even throughout the opal cover. A pleasant atmosphere for learning is created.

The mounted luminaire is the XOOMINAIRE™ 4262. With a luminous flux of 2,200 lumens per meter and the light color 4,000 K it is ideal for lighting in classrooms. For integration into the architecture of the ceiling a suitable solution was developed together with the customer. The luminaires were manufactured in customized lengths and delivered with special mounting brackets. The installed luminaires are flush with the ceiling beam and run elegantly between the white ceiling panels, giving the impression of a modern ceiling grid. The white ceiling panels reflect additional light and make the room appear brighter. Through this interaction between architecture and lighting design, the classrooms are enhanced and there is a welcoming and open atmosphere.

The lighting renovation was urgently needed: the durability of the old system with T8 fluorescent tubes was exhausted, the technology was outdated and the demands of lighting in the classrooms were no longer being met. It is no longer enough that the illumination only provides light – quality of light, cost efficiency and environmental performance are all of the utmost importance. The choice fell on the linear luminaire XOOMINAIRE™ made by LED Linear™. Compared to luminaires with T8 fluorescent lamps, XOOMINAIRE™ has greater efficiency, offers a far better, absolutely homogeneous light and has, thanks to LED technology, a much longer lifetime. This reduces the energy consumption and lowers operating costs. Another factor when it comes to environmental performance are the components from which the luminaires are made: in comparison to the "old T8", no harmful substances such as mercury, gases etc. are processed and used in the new luminaire.

So far, seven classrooms have been renovated, with more development in the autumn holidays.
