MIREL LED: A Modern Twist on the Louver Luminaires

Fitted with the Zumtobel advancedOptics Quadrification-Lens, MIREL LED is the perfect tool for new office developments and the renovation and remodeling of office environments.

Highland, New York, November 2015 – With MIREL LED, Zumtobel is steering classic louver luminaires toward modern times. While honoring the distinct appearance, Zumtobel has mastered the challenge of integrating next-generation, energy-efficient LED technology into a tried-and-tested stylistic idiom.

In many ways more advanced and different from its famous predecessor, the luminaire still alludes to the same unique appearance. The lenses and the light source of MIREL LED are visible to the user and are a key design feature of the otherwise minimalist luminaire. The unique LED optics combine directional light distribution with a brilliant look. Light guided via Zumtobel advancedOptics Quadrification-Lens (QLO) allows for high lighting quality, perfect glare control and batwing light distribution. The light distribution is affected via the optics at a rate of 95 percent; only 5 percent of the luminous flux is reflected by the “louver.” The result is a more precise direction of light and higher efficiency, which is reflected by its luminaire efficacy factor (LEF) of up to 119 lm/W. The luminaire’s luminous flux levels and module sizes, however, have not changed in comparison to the traditional recessed louver luminaire. Old and new conventional luminaires can be replaced on a one-to-one basis, which makes MIREL LED a natural choice in renovation projects where an enhancement of the light environment is the goal.

With its clear, minimalistic and universally applicable design, the luminaire developed in collaboration with STUDIO AMBROZUS exploits its full potential, in terms of lighting quality and energy efficiency. With a color rendering index of Ra >80, the luminaire is particularly suitable for varied visual tasks in offices, classrooms and general-use areas. MIREL LED is available as linear pendant, linear and square surface-mounted and linear and square recessed or lay-in versions of the luminaire with high output, efficiency and emergency options.
