Illumination

Ceilings

What sets Velaria Systems apart from other stretch ceiling companies is our understanding of illumination and the depth of information available for you to make an informed choice that ensures the best lighting possible in your space.

We don’t just add some lights and hope for the best. Velaria Systems provides photometric files to ensure you can calculate the illuminance, color rendering data to ensure people look and feel better, and a wide range of color temperature options to ensure the mood of your space is set exactly the way you want it.

Membrane Selection

Here’s the easy part: we have already tested and selected the membrane that delivers optimal performance for illumination, combining optical efficiency, uniformity, and aesthetics to ensure the best solution for your lighting needs.

Determine the Required Illuminance Level for Your Space

Using a Velaria Systems illumination system is a great way to provide superior quality lighting that fills your space with vibrant but comfortable light. We provide the photometric information you need to determine the right option for your design.

The first step is to determine what illumination level you require: are you creating a bright instore retail experience that uses ambient lighting to feature merchandise or a more subdued hospitality experience where visual acuity is still important, but a more intimate feeling is desired?

Our illumination systems are offered with 3 light output options (Standard, Enhanced, Ultra) designed to deliver the appropriate level of illumination no matter your application. While there may be several factors influencing the final lighting design - contrast ratios for sales environments, energy code considerations, or others – Velaria Systems has a solution for you.

Illuminance (footcandles) for Various Space Sizes

Velaria Systems Illumination

To help you determine exactly what you need, the Velaria Systems Design Studio will guide you through the selection process with expert assistance and tools. If you prefer to hand off the task to the lighting design professional on your team, we have all of the data they will need to create a complete lighting design, including IES Files for design calculations.

Acoustic Performance

Velaria Systems illumination systems come standard with superior acoustic performance that will significantly contribute to reducing noise in your space.

For even better comfort, Velaria Systems offers Enhanced and Ultra levels of acoustic performance; and for spaces where noise levels are less of a concern, a budget-friendly Basic option is also available.
