ALUMINUM FRAME LED PANELS
Sunday, December 2, 2007


I saw these illuminated glass shelves at the Kitchen and Bath Show this past year and loved the idea of each shelf having it's own source of light. No more shadows from the top. On their own, the severity of the linear pattern of the glass may appear very techno but when paired with resin inserts on framed doors, the look can be anything you want.
°eluma is an innovative LED panel that was created in conjunction with Tresco International,
one of the nation’s leading lighting distributors. °eluma can be used as illuminated shelving
in kitchen and bathroom cabinets, decorative panels, doors, etc. The patented technology
enables the glass shelves to be fully adjustable in cabinet applications with the incorporation
of a power bar into the cabinet and plug and play panel connectors. Hard wiring is not
required and therefore the end user can install the product without a professional
electrician. Previous lighting methods used in cabinet applications have not had the
adjustability nor the ease of installation that °eluma features.
In addition, °eluma utilizes Tresco International’s environmentally friendly, 12 VDC, low energy
LEDs as the light source. The LED panels emit minimal heat thus making the product
extremely safe. The high quality LEDs have a lifespan of 50,000 hours (11.4 years at 12 hours
per day) and are maintenance free.

What a great idea, but ugh, the color temperature of those lights is enough to make one seasick!
Hopefully there will be other options as LEDs mature.
Ironically, the color rendering in LED recessed ceiling lights can be very good. I would imagine if these °eluma led lighted panels are composed of glass with a green cast, not the low lead starfire type, this most definitely would affect the quality of the light.
