Hiding your light under a  BevelLight
Hiding your light under a  BevelLight
Bohle, leading manufacturer and distributor of products for glass  processing and finishing, has developed   a new intelligent LED lighting solution that places products in the limelight  without drawing attention to itself. The BevelLight range can be integrated  into practically any glass shelf, virtually invisibly, attached with Bohle UV  bonding technology to the front edge of the glass shelf so that it totally  illuminates the shelf beneath.
"The  ideal illumination of objects in showcases and other furniture is one of the  toughest challenges in shopfitting and furniture construction," explained  Steven Byrom, Product Manager at Bohle Limited. Unfortunately, most conventional lighting solutions are so conspicuous that they distract the  viewer from what is supposed to be the focus of his attention; the product  or exhibit on display. With BevelLight the product or exhibit becomes the  point of focus.
The  light shines at a specific angle through a hidden bevel at the front edge of  the glass, allowing the light to radiate and reflect into the piece of  furniture. As an integrative element, BevelLights can be built into glass  constructions practically invisibly - a top quality stainless steel profile  that fits over the bevel, concealing an LED lighting unit is all that can be  seen of BevelLights. Power is supplied via a tiny low voltage strip which is  attached, out of sight to the edge of the glass.
There  are three different models in theBevelLights range: BevelLights Basic, which  is ideal for wood-frame furniture and is connected to a low voltage power  supply with a plug connection; BevelLights Contact has a touch contact at the  back side of the glass shelf, which allows the shelves to be easily removed -  when sliding the shelves back into place, they are automatically connected to  the power supply at the contact points; BevelLights Flex Contact has the  added feature that the shelves can be removed and then re-positioned as  desired. This is made possible by a continuous conductor strip on the back  panel of the furniture.
