How it works

Fibre optic shimmer, acoustics, and scene control

Each PULSE panel contains 40 individually addressable LED-driven fibre optic points powered by 2 LED engines, producing a realistic, calming star shimmer effect. Panels connect via Wi-Fi or wired LAN and integrate with the LightEFX Human Centric Ecosystem for synchronised scene control coordinating with tuneable white downlights, RGB LED strips, and EdgeLine cornices, through a single touchscreen hub and app.

Panels install as ceiling tiles in a standard 1200×600mm A24 suspended grid system, or are fixed directly to drywall using 6 plaster screws. A single GPO powers up to 24 panels via low-voltage daisy-chain cable.
