Timeline

With the launch of MILUM, RIBAG has achieved another highlight: the miniaturised and compactly designed lighting system impresses with precise light control, technology at the highest level and meticulous workmanship. This was also honoured by the expert jury of the Red Dot Award and awarded MILUM the coveted label.

The miniaturised SPARK downlight family convinced the international jury and won the iF DESIGN AWARD.

VIOR has expanded its product range with the addition of the bright VIOR bold, which is ideally suited for use in spacious meeting or transit areas and provides high visual comfort for an optimal working atmosphere in offices and educational rooms.

The further development of ARVA with lens optics results in the new KIVO product family with individual diaphragm materializations. SPARK represents another milestone. The miniaturised recessed luminaire combined with the high-precision Bartenbach reflector technology offers superlative lighting technology.
