Clear minimalist design and uncompromising lighting quality: two aspects that capture the true ethos of VAERO. Zumtobel has used the development of this LED pendant luminaire to devise an outstanding product that exemplifies high lighting quality and enables seamless integration into contemporary office settings thanks to an unobtrusive design.

Our feeling of wellbeing in closed office spaces is strongly influenced by lighting. Poor light quality can lead to premature tiredness, headaches or even eye pain. With the new VAERO LED pendant luminaire, Zumtobel has created a masterful design highlight in the world of office luminaires that simultaneously offers pure wellness for the eyes.

The innovative side-lit technology distributes the light evenly from the center to the edge of the luminaire.

VAERO is characterized by an optimal ratio of direct and indirect lighting, along with a wide indirect light distribution. This creates a balanced dispersion of the brightness and fewer contrasts – factors that enable the best possible visual comfort. Dedicated screen work also requires very good glare control. The innovative side-lit technology, which distributes the light evenly from the center to the edge of the luminaire, provides pleasant and homogenous illumination without the formation of stripes. Individual LED light points are dispersed with the help of defined structures. All these aspects combine to create a pleasant lighting mood in the room and thereby help to increase the wellbeing of employees.

Visual comfort: VAERO offers pure wellness for the eyes

The distinctive way that VAERO seems to be flooded with light further enhances the agreeable lighting atmosphere. When switched on, the sleek luminaire appears to float in the air like a uniform light disc. Switch it off and the clear light-emitting surface is almost transparent. The frameless luminaire unit and clean, straight lines form part of the minimalist design. The extremely slim housing is made possible by state-of-the-art technology and a very narrow centre bar.

Thanks to a reduced design that focuses on natural, homogeneous and glare-free light, the VAERO LED pendant luminaire visually complements any modern office, as interior architecture, natural light and illumination merge into a single harmonious unit.

VAERO is available from Autumn 2016.
