RIDI expands its extensive AIDA family

June 2001 RIDI EXPANDS ITS EXTENSIVE AIDA FAMILY
Building on the established AIDA concept of visual comfort through the control of brightness, the new AIDA-ME recessed direct/indirect luminaire from RIDI provides exacting illumination ideally suited to office and retail environments. The new luminaire has been designed specifically for the UK market and it combines a comprehensive range of louvres with a soft diffused uplit canopy to provide a high degree of control and a stylish appearance.
The new luminaire integrates seamlessly with the other wall mounted and suspended luminaires in the AIDA family. Available in T5 or TC-L versions the new recessed AIDA complies with LG3 category 2- 500/1000cd. The MEi model also offers the added advantage of providing a small amount of ceiling illumination through its drop-down louvre configuration.
AIDA-ME has just been specified by Michael Jones Associates; a Surrey based Building Services Consultancy. They oversaw the installation of over 700 2x24w T5 versions with air handling capability, at the Standon House refurbishment project in City of London.
Additional technical information Available in 600mm x 600mm and 1200mm x 600mm sizes, they are suitable for installation in exposed/concealed 'T' and plasterboard ceilings. The AIDA louvre housing, with perforated sides, is available with a choice of specular parabolic, matt parabolic, perforated crossblade and white crossblade aluminium louvre options and all feature quick release spring catches for ease of access to lamps and gear. Air handling versions are available for 2x24w T5 and 40/55w TC-L lamps. There is an integral 3-hour emergency conversion option also available. Special paint finishes and dimmable options available upon request.
