For the implementation of the architecturally sophisticated concept of a special exhibition in the Zeithaus of the Autostadt Wolfsburg, additional luminaires had to be installed without interfering with the existing and partially mirrored ceiling construction. The customer attached particular importance to avoiding unwanted reflections in the high-gloss paintwork of the cars on display. After weighing up the available technologies, special luminaires were developed which, thanks to specially shaped optics and high optical efficiency, allow the individual LEDs of the luminaire to merge into a continuous line. LEDs with a CRI of > 96 were chosen.

Special requirements were also placed on the housing design, as the customer's particular installation requirements had to be taken into account. In addition, it was important to ensure that the visual sense of space was not disturbed by light strips running at right angles to the line of sight and that the luminaires therefore had to be specially glare-free.After previously requested companies were unable to present a satisfactory solution, Ambright was commissioned shortly before opening - there were only four weeks between commissioning and implementation. The installation on site took place within one night on all four floors of the building.
