GENIUS

This new product from Buzzi & Buzzi owes its name to the wonderful tale of Aladdin. The name was chosen because this amazing product satisfies the top three wishes of the technical lighting designer. Firstly, there’s the light intensity: quite incredible for an aperture measuring only 20 mm, and able to supply a light flow of around 1000 lumen. Secondly, there’s the look: recessed into the ceiling and without any visible fixtures, so not breaking up the surface in any way. Genius is such a tiny globe that it’s nearly invisible when switched off, but can also make objects stand out almost theatrically; shrinking the beam of light until it all but disappears. The light source produces a clear cone of light, which bathes the surface below it, evoking all the magic of a stage. The third wish satisfied by Genius is that of reliability: the miracle of this system is not solely confined to its ability to produce what we might term an optical illusion. Buzzi & Buzzi’s new product is in fact the only one on the market which enables you to maintain the LED system through an aperture measuring only 20 mm, thanks to a pushoperated locking mechanism which allows you to extract the LED circuit and replace it immediately. The fact that Genius is fully open to inspection and that all its wearable parts can be accessed without tampering with the ceiling avoids any need for remote inspection hatches; enabling you to work on the unit very easily despite the limitations of just 2 cm of space. Genius is a concealed, recessed lighting system designed to be installed into plasterboard or brick ceilings. The product is made from natural white AirCoral® and can be customised by the client by applying any type of paint, adapting it to the tastes and requirements of the designer. AirCoral® is an innovative new material created by Buzzi & Buzzi, patented and certified by the TCNA (Tile Council of North America). It is characterized by its ecoactive, antipolluting, antibacterical and photocatalytic properties, effectively improving the quality of life for those inhabiting the areas where it has been installed. In addition to the qualities of robustness and aesthetic appeal which characterize Coral®, AirCoral® is distinguished by its bactericidal action against pathogenic agents.
