Artemide - RA Lighting System
Italy, 2001
The Ra Lighting System is an advanced lighting product capable of transferring data and power and adaptable to a great range of demands and activities. It can be used at high level en masse or individually over a work table.
On one level it is simply an elegant product for the incorporation of fluorescent strips. On another level the system is highly sophisticated, allowing for a multitude of components, including track lights, motion sensors, smoke detectors, burglar alarms, indirect and direct fluorescence, PA systems, emergency lighting and signage, as well as existing products manufactured by Artemide. It can be hung, fixed directly to the ceiling or integrated into a false ceiling and by choosing from a menu of these accessories, the product can be tuned to respond to the specific requirements of different installations. The system is programmable, with electrical wire ways that can be used as service routes for data transfer and post-fit building management systems. A specially-made channel allows for the installation and wiring of different lighting elements and their connection to the electrical grid and to the signal and control lines built into the devices. It is possible to add on systems by simply inserting the suitable wires into the channel.
