RIBAG pioneered the new OVISO® luminaire family. After many years of development, a complete luminaire family with OLED technology was launched for the first time. Available as pendant, surface-mounted, wall-mounted or table luminaire, with optional built-in sensor technology for non-contact dimming. The OVISO® luminaire family, with its only 7 mm thin bodies, combines the highest lighting quality with exclusive design standards. The homogeneous, absolutely glare-free light made it possible to realise completely new lighting concepts
OLED is a surface light source and consists of thin, organic layers. This creates glare-free light without generating heat. Free of environmentally harmful substances, practically all the energy is converted into light, making OLED a sustainable lighting technology. The light spectrum comes closest to that of sunlight and contains neither IR nor UV radiation. The high Color Rendering Index of 95 ensures a pleasant room atmosphere.
With the launch of the OVISO® luminaire family, RIBAG took a pioneering step into the future and defined the light of tomorrow.
