We are pleased to present BECCO, a rotation symmetrical lantern designed by the architects Susanne Grønlund and Karin Andersen (Grønlund & KSA Design). Becco is characterized by the form of the heat sink continuing into the screen as light-breaking rings spreading in water. The light source is not visible and the indirect, non-glaring light is spread by means of the arched roof plate.

The heat sink and the roof plate are made of aluminium with black, graphite or silver grey coating. Becco will be ideal for using colours to stand out or to fit the lantern into a specific environment, and we shall be happy to quote other colours. The screen is cast in long-life polycarbonate and equipped with a layer of acrylate on both sides, which makes it extremely UV resistant. 

BECCO is born with LED and the intention was to combine design and necessary components, such as the heat sink. Once again we use the Bridgelux LED because the American high-quality brand offers long and stable service along with fine light properties. Furthermore we get a flexible product, and we can supply Bridgelux at different colour temperatures and with colour rendering indeces as high as 90 Ra. We quote the warm daylight colour 3000 and CRI 80 Ra as standard, but please do not hesitate to contact us for other options. We expect Becco to be ready for delivery by the end of 2012.
