Gustafs in cooperation with LED fixture manufacturer, Luxlight, have developed a new light fixture customized for our timber cladding panels, Gustafs Linear Rib. The new integrated LED fixture is called Gustafs D-Line. Except from manufacturing exclusive wooden claddings for walls and ceilings with the highest quality, we also emphasize the importance of a reliable, quick and cost saving installation, that is exactly what Gustafs D-Line gives you!
Gustafs D-Line is an integrated linear lighting designed to be fully compatible with our Capax installation system for Gustafs Linear Rib. This means that the installation of Gustafs D-Line linear LED lighting is as reliable and quick to mount as a timber panel. It also gives you a beautiful design.
Gustafs D-Line uses a modern microprismatic optics in combination with high quality LED light sources.
Mounting an integrated lighting for timber panels has been possible for a long time, but the issues that arise are more than the possibilities. First you need to find a luminaire that fits the panel dimensions, which all too often turn out to be too long or too wide. Once you’ve found the right dimensions, you’ll need to find a separate mounting fixture for the LED lighting.
This process is very time consuming for the installer, which increases the installation cost significantly. Gustaf’s D-Line simplifies this process with the integrated system.
The idea to integrate the LED Lighting Fixture with Gustafs Linear system came from WSP Ljusdesign since Luxlight already had a small linear LED fixture (D-Line) for ceiling lighting, which almost had the same dimensions as our Gustafs Rib’s. We and Luxhlight started to work on a solution based on both of our products so that the fixture could fit into our wall and ceiling grid. The result of the very first installation can be found at Krokslätts fabriker, designed by Wingårdhs Arkitektkontor.
The most common use of integrated LED Light might be ceilings. But the installation for our timber wall panels are similar to our ceiling installation. This makes it possible to use Gustafs D-Line as recessed LED lighting for walls as well. With a creative design you can create beautiful timber walls with linear LED lighting for office lighting, hotel lighting or a corridor lighting on the walls.
