The Cielos modular lighting system designed by Billings Jackson Design for Zumtobel “provides a simple method of designing, installing and maintaining luminous surfaces. The shallow profile plug-and-play units are elegant with colored light and video-compatible LED models.”

From Architonic:

Implementing a luminous surface that provides uniform light distribution doesn’t get any easier than this. The CIELOS modular Plug & Play system provides boundless creative scope and a wealth of ideas when it comes to using light for interior design. Square lighting modules can be used to form any surface area as required. They are an attractive alternative to conventional lighting for smaller applications such as conference rooms, reception areas, wellness facilities, shops and showrooms in particular. Whether using one, two or three colours, CIELOS blends light and colour into a single unmistakable entity, thereby creating a cosy, pleasant atmosphere in any interior.

The lighting squares are available in two different standard sizes: with a side length of 600 mm or 900 mm. A glass diffuser lends the luminous ceiling its sophisticated look. Its low mounting height of just 80 mm (unicoloured white light) or 50 mm (coloured light) is unique. A large number of installation options – on the ceiling, on the wall or as a freestanding unit – provide scope for individual design preferences. When attached to the ceiling, the modules can be installed flush or suspended. The system complies with the DALI standard.
