The front of research of Artemide is becoming more and more open and involves not only all the technological aspects of the components of lighting equipment, but also all the possibilities of interaction with the light, its performances, and the perceptive, psychological and physiological implications of its interaction with man and space.

LED technology has surely revolutionised the world of lighting. Today Artemide is planning a survey which involves not only optoelectronic innovations, but also a study on the capability of interactiing with the surroundings in the context of a digital dialogue. Artemide starts new important themes about photonics and new technologies in order to sketch a future vision, a new way of interpreting and living litghting.

Within a policy of reduction of energy consumption and in advance of the coming into force of the ErP directive, Artemide's commitment in terms of eco-sustainability takes concrete shape through the promotion of its leading products in new versions with low energy consumption.
Economic and environmental advantages deriving from using LEDs are:

• high light efficiency
• low consumption
• reduced CO2 emissions
• very long operation time
• short maintenance cycles

Moreover, solid-state lighting (SSL), which distinguishes LEDs, ensures an excellent shock and vibration resistance. Besides development of excellent optical systems and selection of last-generation LEDs, Artemide focuses on heat dissipation systems and advanced electronic components, absolutely necessary for a correct use of this technology. To ensure a correct perception of spaces and architectural elements, Artemide products offer a range of three different colour temperatures: warm white, neutral white e cold white. To obtain suggestive performances, Artemide offers RGB profiles and projectors using light and colour management protocols such as DALI and DMX, by which it is possible to create.

Artemide's products are much more than highly refined design objects, ensuring a top technical performance - they are objects born from man's experience to satisfy man's needs.

Since the 1990s, with the launch of the The Human Light philosophy, promoted by Carlotta de Bevilacqua, Artemide has changed the way to conceive and develop its products. The guiding idea was to start from people's needs in terms of light, and understanding first and foremost how to respond to individual needs in the different spaces and stages of life.

With The Human Light Artemide intends to illuminate space, as well as man's activities and needs inside a space. The goal is both simple and extremely complicated: turn light into a means to improve the quality of life. The Human Light is a new way to conceive light to support people in their daily activities, complying with their moods, and promoting their well-being.

The Human Light means placing the competence of Artemide at the service of man and responding to the need for flexibility and adaptability with the utmost visual accuracy and the minimum consumption of environmental resources.
