Micro-lens optic
With the new patented micro-lens optic (MLO), the lamps are not directly visible and full glare control
from all viewing angles is a reality (Omnidirectional Luminance Control, OLC). The micro-lens optic is highly
efficient and meets the latest office standards: L
m
<1000 cd/m
2
in all viewing directions at γ ≥ 65º and
UGR
R
<19 (EN 12464-1).
This means no disturbing glare on PC or laptop screens, regardless of where they are positioned in the room.
The micro-lens optic provides a uniform light distribution, ensuring an even and comfortable brightness
impression – a real ‘surface of light’. The micro-lens optic is secured by a translucent rim around the luminaire.
The patented micro-lens optic design uses conical lenses with inverted tops that are positioned in a square
array for the best possible glare control. The optic fully justifies the designation ‘micro’ since there are over 35
high-precision lenses per square centimeter.

The trend towards multi-skilled knowledge workers and flattening hierarchies will transform tomorrow’s office.
Office spaces will take on a more social role of bringing knowledge workers together in physical proximity.
They will be places where people come together to think, communicate and create. This vision has driven the design
and development of Savio, with freedom in application and configuration being a key objective. Its design allows multiple
luminaires to be connected in a line or block arrangement.
