Circle of Light

Inspired by the breathtaking combination of room and light in the Roman Pantheon, Polaron’s circular luminaire body shapes the light emitted, illuminating the room without direction.

With surface mounted, semi-recessed, and recessed variations available, the Polaron series is highly flexible, and adaptable to any application. A translucent luminaire body helps to distribute light evenly throughout the space inhabited.

Due to the artistic design of the fitting, whether switched on or off, the Polaron serves as a design feature. When on, the fitting glows creating a serene ambience. When off, the soft appearance of the circular design transforms into a subtle and pure design object in its own right.

With its characteristic secondary light component, TRILUX Polaron efficiently leverages the advantages of direct-indirect lighting.

Polaron luminaires can be dimmed optimally, when ordered with dimming ballasts. With T5 circular lamps of different colour temperatures (2700, 5400 Kelvin suggested), the twin lamp Polaron creates an opportunity for individual daylight-like ambience.

Polaron is a series that offers unique customising capabilities. Fittings can be individualised, to suit what YOU want (to a certain extent.) With the ability to order coloured rings, and to include motives/logos ‘inside’ the luminaire body, this luminaire series can be made your own. Any modifications to the ordinary will incur minor additional charges, though the originality and creative uniqueness this allows is priceless.

The Polaron is available in various sizes. Body diameter options of 272mm or 347mm are available, with body depths of 85mm for single lamp versions or 107mm for twin lamp configurations. The smaller body size is available as surface mounted, whilst the larger version is available in surface mount, semi-recessed, or recessed.

With the inclusion of a configurator on a dedicated microsite, the possibility to simulate deployment situations is achieved. Varying colours and accessories may be allocated to the three installation variations of the Polaron. This simulated luminaire can then be integrated into various interiors, and a virtual light switch can be triggered to show the effect of the luminaire upon its environment.

Flexibility, creativity, efficiency, and intelligent design.

The Green Revolution

Northbridge Properties is one of the largest developers of commercial property on Auckland’s North Shore, principally in Albany. Over the past five years they have developed over 40,000m2 of commercial space, predominantly low-rise office parks. Among their building ‘brag sheet’ are listed head office space for large corporates such as Samsung, Billabong Surfwear, and Makita Power Tools.

They have dispelled the myth that cheapest is best, proving that demand for higher quality is increasing every year. Close association with Enlightenz has ensured that energy efficiency objectives of prospective clients can be satisfied.

Staying true to sustainability and energy efficiency guides, Northbridge Properties employed the services and expertise of Enlightenz when embarking on the lighting fit-out of their own new head-office in Albany, North Shore.

A particularly striking and unique area of the project is the lounge/break-out area. The minimalistic architectural design statement texturally supported by quality natural timber and stainless steel materials opened a clear avenue for any lighting designer to follow. A defined scope, with room for artistic expression provides and ideal canvas to accentuate the ambience of an area.

The very latest luminaire offerings from TRILUX further enhance an already exquisite environment. Slither-thin, low-glare LUCEO CDP suspended luminaires provide even illuminance distribution, without glare. With a clean and uniform ceiling wash, the area is illuminated harmoniously and with no disturbance in the line of sight. Elegant and finely crafted Oceanus fittings, housed in hand-made plaster mounting kits, the downlights remain a feature whether switched on or off.

Enlightenz have entered an award entry in the 2008 IES Lighting awards, for the headquarters of Northbridge Properties. Results will be announced in October. Look out for some further exciting news in this regard.

Creativity Unleashed

TRILUX honoured the winners of the 2008 LUX FUTURA Awards at the Light & Building Exhibition in Frankfurt.

Light ideas for the future, which find their way to the here and now - the LUX FUTURA Award is based on this ambitious objective. Prompted by TRILUX - the second edition of the competition came to a close with an award ceremony held at the Light & Building in Frankfurt. Over the past four years, the LUX FUTURA Award has evolved into an honour that is well-received and widely accepted in the industry due to its high caliber panel of judges. The “glimpses into the future”, which are singled out by this award, know how to impress.

Honoured before more than 500 spectators, “all honourees showed that they could create light for the future”, said Richard Taylor of TRILUX in praise of the talent of the upcoming designers.

LUX FUTURA aims to unleash the creative potential of young students, designers and architects and to encourage them to embark on new avenues in design and stylistic forms. The interaction between product designers and technicians is frequently governed by strict ground rules that force creativity into a corset - LUX FUTURA, on the other hand, loosens things up and offers leeway for ideas without the economic and technical restrictions.

“Creating something new, taking risks and making experimental mistakes - that’s what I expect from students,” says Andrés Jaque, one of the members of LUX FUTURA’s panel of experts, about his hopes. “All contestants are subject to the following: They should question everything they have learned and do the opposite of what their teachers say.”

For further information on what successful participants have achieved with their own light concepts, please navigate to www.luxfutura.com website, where you may also view the winning luminaires.



TRILUX have included a previous award winning entry as part of their product portfolio for 2009. Team members Tobias Lo and Ralf Manthey presented a concept for workspace floor lamps. Equipped with state of the art LED systems, designed for variable lighting technology, the concept was awarded second prize in the 2006 LUX FUTURA Awards. The Estilio is cleverly activated by simply tilting the luminaire head. A reflector on the underside of the head guides the light focused by singular optics directly and unobtrusively onto the task area, with infinitely variable mechanics. The effect : maximum aesthetics with a compact design, and optimal light efficiency.
