September 15, 2006—Cooper Lightings Neo-Ray brand, a leader in architectural fluorescent linear lighting solutions, has partnered with a leading innovator in ceiling systems, Armstrong World Industries, to develop an uncluttered ceiling system.
The TechZone Ceiling System is the industry’s first ceiling system that organizes lighting fixtures, air diffusers and sprinkler heads in a linear 6-inch-wide technical “zone” to create a cleaner, more monolithic ceiling visual, says Cooper.
The development of TechZone enables designers to organize and integrate elements by pre-qualifying the compatibility of luminaires and ceiling elements, thus enabling designers to achieve the coveted “quiet ceiling” monolithic look.
TechZone is an engineered, easy-to-specify ceiling system that uses standard components but imparts a clean, custom look to the space, without the long lead times, hassles and cost often associated with custom materials. Using only standard components, the totally integrated acoustical ceiling system delivers the desired quantity and quality of light and air into the space.
In addition to providing recessed fixtures to be compatible with the TechZone system, Neo-Ray also provides pendant fixtures. Neo-Ray’s indirect pendant lighting, when used in combination of TechZone and High Light Reflectance Optima ceiling panels, can provide up to 3 LEED credits for daylighting and energy consumption.
