RIDI has launched AIDA-Vario, a luminaire specifically for the UK corporate office market. Designed to meet the latest demands of CIBSE LG3a and LG7 the AIDA-Vario has a unique feature: a three position gondola section that can be lowered to maximise ceiling illumination or fully recessed to ensure a flush ceiling line.

“The AIDA-Vario is an evolution of the AIDA-Mini range,” says Mike Attard, Managing Director of RIDI UK , “and can integrate with a range of other matching AIDA suspended and wall products to create a unified lighting scheme across a project. The adjustable AIDA gondola section gives specifier and end-client the option of full compliance in retracted mode or an aesthetic choice in flush mode. It is great for commercial offices as it has been designed specifically around CIBSE LG7. The tooless and easy to adjust gondola section also gives the user or specifier a choice of light distribution based on their individual requirement and room orientation.”

Each luminaire is available in a choice of matt aluminium louvre or reeded prismatic diffuser. Reeded aluminium or satinised white aluminium gullwings produce a softly diffused uplit canopy which is excellent for vertical light control and gives sharp architectural styling. The AIDA-Vario also features additional fill-in light through the square perforations in gondola sides for a softer and evenly spread light diffusion. For an enhanced lighting effect, special effect colour filters can be specified to add feature to the perforated areas.

AIDA-Vario is offered with a universal body for a variety of ceiling types. In addition, all luminaires are equipped with energy saving electronic control gear for TC-L and T5 lamps with dimmable electronic versions also available as standard options. A 3-hour integral emergency option is also available.
