which can create very specific and pure shades with a very high degree of saturation

Adam Bennette, technical director at ETC, says: “The car is invisible until you view it from inside a shade. For this effect to work, we needed to have a very specific cyan blue. ETC Selador fixtures, with their led high bay light System, have three different shades of blue LEDs in them – cyan, blue and indigo – which can create very specific and pure shades with a very high degree of saturation, whereas many other manufacturers’ fixtures make intermediate shades by mixing only green, blue and red.”

The fixtures were supplied by rental company Volume in Milan for the exhibition booth. Some 300,000 people attended the show from 154 countries. The Salone was established in 1961 to promote Italian furniture and furnishing accessories on the export market and has since become a benchmark for the country’s furniture sector.

Reportedly, Ireland’s Minister for Research and Innovation, Sean Sherlock T.D., has set up InfiniLED Ltd of Cork, Ireland, a spin-off from Tyndall National Institute, UCC (University College Cork), as a development and production company for next-generation LEDs.

InfiniLED is based on Micro led linear high bay light technology invented by a team of researchers led by Brian Corbett in the III-V Materials and Devices group of Tyndall National Institute, supported and funded by Enterprise Ireland (EI).
