Louis Poulsen - Silverback

silverbackDesign: K iBiS i

A brand-new, extremely comfortable LED light source lies at the

heart of this spectacular Louis Poulsen product.

Louis Poulsen developed the Silverback wall and ceiling light in

close cooperation with the KiBiSi designer group. The light sets

new standards for the integration of lighting in architecture.

Silverback has a classic shape but an innovative construction – from

the outside, to the core.

Through its ingenious design, Silverback propagates the background surface in

the fixture, thereby softening the boundary between the fixture and the

mounting surface. They blend into each other, making the fixture appear

narrower visually than it actually is.

This soft transition has been achieved by making the rear metallised half of the

fixture semitransparent. Light can thus passes through the rear half, creating a

neutral illumination of the backing surface, but the metallisation also allows this

surface to be reflected in the fixture – both in its lit and unlit state. This results in

a morphing effect which visually connects the structure of the backing surface

with the rear side of the product, making the fixture’s interface invisible.

The effect creates greater coherence between the lighting and the materials and

surfaces of the building.

The effect also expands the fixture’s potential areas of application. The fixture

grows into the surfaces of the room, so to speak.

Silverback blends with the architecture

Opal acrylic prevents

uncomfortable glare and

provides an even light

expression without LED dots.

The rear housing can be easily

installed on either a wall or

ceiling.Easy access to technical

components, including the

driver.

Subdued surface luminance

when lit gives the product a

3D effect and character.

Accentuates the product’s

shape.

Specially designed LED board

ensures ideal illumination of

both the fixture’s shape and

the surroundings. Easy to affix

to the rear housing.

Silverback has an extremely harmonic

design, almost superlative aesthetics.

Its spectacular construction, with its

reflective rear side and specially designed

LED light source, makes the product

harmonic in its lit and unlit states and

amplifies the design when lit.

The high-efficiency LEDs have been made

glare-free by placing them at just the right

distance from the diffuser’s opal surface,

down to millimetre precision. Not only is

there an extremely even illumination of the

surface, the light source design also takes

into account the shape of the fixture. The

light intensity has also been carefully

regulated to eliminate any uncomfortable

glare.

The LED light source has been designed so

that a reduction in the intensity of the light at

the surface’s point of inflexion results in a

subdued luminance which clearly and

decoratively accentuates the fixture’s

harmonic shape when lit.

Design: KibiSi

Light concept: The fixture emits diffused light. The opal curved diffuser provides soft and comfortable spatial lighting and the metallised semitransparent rear side of the product produces a decorative halo-like illumination of the ceiling or wall surface. The metallised surface also creates a mirror effect, reflecting the texture, colour or material of the installation surface.

Surface: White opal and alu-metallised.

Material: Die-stamped steel sheet, powder coated, white. Diffuser: Opal pMMa and semi- metallised pC.

Mounting: Terminal strip: 1x5x2,5mm². Cable access: 2 at rear, Ø 19mm. looping: approved, max. 5x1,5mm².

Weight: Max. 3kg.

Class: protection class ip20, insulation class i.

Silverback’s ultra-minimalist design makes it suitable for use in any interior.

Irrespective of the architectural style, cultural heritage, colours or materials,

Silverback blends in discreetly and harmoniously.

The shape and illumination of the diffuser gives the product a three-

dimensional appearance, and in addition to providing good lighting,

Silverback ensures good illumination of the room as a whole. Silverback

integrates walls and ceilings in the room in a decorative and functional

manner.
