Ring luminaires - light embedded in the harmony of the circle

When is a ring luminaire a ring light? Frame luminaires, profile luminaires, round lamps, loops? Does a ring light have to be round? Who understands what it means? We want you to find and not have to search, so we cover various ideas under the term and product with the presentation on our site.

Today it is impossible to imagine life without ring lights. They can be found in many different places. They often decorate a foyer or hover above reception counters. They are also used in meeting rooms or hotel bars. They are also used in restaurants or to showcase products in sales rooms or at trade fairs. Ring lights decorate private living spaces. They have a harmonious and balancing effect above any table and direct the light where it is needed.

 

The rings even light up dentists' surgeries and SATTLER ring lights can even be found in Helsinki underground stations! And this is just a selection of the many different SATTLER ring lights in various projects around the world.

Customised ring luminaire shapes

 

In addition to the standard product portfolio, there are many individual lighting solutions realised with ring lights. Furniture that is present in another room often lends itself to adapting a luminaire to this shape, picking up on it and reflecting it. In meeting rooms, for example, there are often very strongly shaped and present meeting table shapes that need to be illuminated at the same time.

Inspiring ring light creations from the SATTLER light portfolio and, in addition, customised object solutions:

TOCCATA

 

 

The modern TOCCATA chandelier from SATTLER is available in various diameters from 3 to 5 luminaire rings and creates a different and always very harmonious, elegant image from all sides.

 

Ring light chandelier ideal for foyers, stairwells, lounges above counters and much more. 

 

INSIEME

 

 

The modern INSIEME dhandelier also consists of 3 connected light rings that appear to float on top of each other, all of the same size but with different beam directions.

 

The INSIEME is also used as an eye-catcher and special room element. For example in stairwells or event rooms.

Special luminaire: Light object 
SLIM circular segments 

 

Customised SATTLER luminaires can also be found in various completed projects.

 

Both special shapes, such as these curved inward-radiating circular segments based on the SLIM, and customer-specific colours, selected according to the surfaces of the floor numbers, have been realised in this individual lighting object. The suspension of the lighting elements at different heights draws attention to the stairwell of this multi-flight straight staircase.
