The amount of light you require to highlight your design will depend on your selection of membrane and the desired effect you are trying to achieve.
Velaria Systems offers 3 brightness levels to enable any design requirement. While the choice of level will depend on your specific needs, here is a guide to what may work for you.
Brightness |
Used For |
Ultra |
Darker colored membranes – colors or graphics - with minimal light transmission or those with patterns that require high light levels to deliver suitable contrast |
Enhanced |
Medium to dark colored membranes or spaces where you want the backlit membranes to act as wayfinding or contribute some illumination |
Standard |
Light to medium colored membranes where vibrancy is important but contribution to the illumination of the space is not a priority |
Lower color temperatures will enhance warm finishes and evoke intimate experiences while higher values will highlight cooler colors and give a sense of action to your environment.
