Luminous SkyCeilings

Sky Factory T5 Fluorescent lighting is the standard option for Luminous SkyCeiling™ installations. T5 fluorescents are long lasting*, energy efficient and economical. The housing for Luminous SkyCeilings provides uniform illumination across the image. We use 6500K daylight balanced bulbs that provide a light that the eye and mind does not distinguish from real daylight, and significantly contributes to the illusion of nature that accomplishes our goal - triggering the psycho-physiological relaxation response.
