<p>R-CYCLE is a floorstanding lamp of 40W power that can mainly be used as indirect lamp in place of 200W alogen lamps.</p>
<p>The lamp varies automatically the color temperature depending on the light intensity set by the user, in order to have an always pleasant quality of light.<br />
This agreeableness is achieved following Kruithoff&#8217;s curve, which, on the basis of a perceptual effect, shows that at low light intensities people prefer a warmer light.</p>
<p>The effect is technically realised by mixing, at high resolution and on a logaritmic curve, 15 LED of 3000K and 3 amber LED built with special phosphori.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Art and Design in Italy are closely linked. While design is based on functionality, art can freely experiment with abstract concepts, without the constraint of being useful. <a href="http://www.antoniobarrese.it" target="_blank"> Antonio Barrese</a>, artist and designer, has designed <strong>Albero</strong><em>di</em><strong>luce</strong> (<strong>Tree</strong><em>of</em><strong>light</strong>), a colossal kinetic and light sculpture, which exceeds 30 meters in height, that will be presented in Milan 18th December 2009.</p>
<p><img class="foto" src="http://luxpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/albero_3.jpg" alt="Albero di Luce" width="320" height="370" /></p>
<p>Truly distinguishing in <strong>Albero</strong><em>di</em><strong>luce</strong> is that the resulting visual effect can only be guessed, but not definable a priori, since it needs functioning to be set. It is only through the real time combination of the rotation and the pulse of the many colored LED lights that you can see <strong>Albero</strong><em>di</em><strong>luce</strong>: perception and function are not separable. For this reason, a flexible, yet simple, control system is essential to realize the will of the artist.</p>
<p>LuxPulse has designed and built the control system of the TreeofLight, working closely with <a href="http://www.aemi.it" target="_blank">AEMI</a>, which realized the electronics and the embedded software. The system consists of a software with a dedicated interface for the setting and the storing of different parameters related to the colors and the ignition timing of the LEDs columns. Datas are transmitted via ArtNet protocol over a wireless network, made with <a href="http://www.wiligear.com" target="_blank">WiliGear</a> devices, to a <a href="http://www.dmxpen.com/" target="_blank">DMXPen</a> interface which stores them permanently and pilots the AEMI control units.</p>
<p>More information about this work of Kinetics Light Art is available on the dedicated blog: <a href="http://alberodiluce.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">AlberodiLuce</a>.</p>

<a href='http://www.luxpulse.com/giotto/dsc_0108-2/' title='Giotto G0'><img width="300" height="200" src="http://www.luxpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/DSC_01081-300x200.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Giotto with legacy products in the backgroud" title="Giotto G0" /></a>
<a href='http://www.luxpulse.com/giotto/dsc_0453/' title='Giotto G8'><img width="300" height="200" src="http://www.luxpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/DSC_0453-300x200.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Giotto double head" title="Giotto G8" /></a>

<p>Giotto, presentato al pubblico a <a href="http://www.cosmit.it/tool/home.php?s=0,1,21,27,34" target="_blank"> Euroluce 2009</a>, è uno dei primi prodotti per l&#8217;illuminazione stradale e l&#8217;arredo urbano progettato specificatamente per utilizzare LED bianchi ad alta potenza come sorgente luminosa.<br />
Il progetto è stato il vincitore del competition workshop indetto da <a href="http://www.grechi.com" target="_blank">Grechi Illuminazione</a> nel 2008 e diretto dal professor Gianni Forcolini presso<a title="Poli.design" href="http://www.polidesign.net" target="_blank"> Poli.design</a>, consorzio del Politecnico di Milano.</p>
<p>Il design di Giotto è stato radicale, strutturalmente sono spariti i tipici elementi di un prodotto da esterni &#8211; palo, sbraccio e armatura &#8211; per dare spazio ad un oggetto che non avesse soluzione di continuità, ma fosse basato su un singolo elemento visivo, un tubo da 90mm di diametro.<br />
La flessibilità di posizionamento data dai LED è stata sfruttata disponendo 72 LED su una struttura circolare da 3/4 di cerchio di 1 metro di diametro. Questo elemento realizzato con tre pezzi in alluminio pressofuso, oltre ad essere strutturale, funge anche da dissipatore di calore esposto all&#8217;aria.<br />
Anche il palo è realizzato in alluminio mediante un&#8217;estrusione ad hoc, che realizza il &#8220;doppio tubo&#8221; in unico pezzo.</p>
<p>L&#8217;ottica dei LED, inizialmente a distribuzione ellittica, nel 2011 è stata perfezionata con l&#8217;utilizzo di lenti modulari, così da estendere la possibile gamma di applicazioni, dallo stradale al rotosimmetrico, all&#8217;ellittico o al batwing.</p>
<p>Oltre al design innovativo, Giotto incorpora un&#8217;elettronica di controllo all&#8217;avanguardia: con la funzionalità legata alla dimmerazione per fasce orarie e al feedback termico, Giotto dispone di una radio ZigBee sia per la gestione remota in tempo reale di tutti i parametri dell&#8217;apparecchio sia per l&#8217;integrazione di sensori ambientali.</p>
<p>Giotto è un sistema composito che prevede, oltre alla versione a singolo corpo illuminante, anche una versione doppia con forma a otto e una circolare per utilizzo a sospensione.</p>
