It was with great pride that we opened our doors to the UIMM Côte d’Azur (Union des Industries et Métiers de la Métallurgie) for a day rich in interaction and discoveries. On July 27, our company was therefore privileged to welcome Marcel RAGNI, President of UIMM Côte d’Azur, and Véronique PINOTTI, Director of Employment, Integration and Skills, for a visit dedicated to the design and manufacturing of our LED luminaires, representing our know-how and industrial expertise.

Since its creation in 2005, Lumteam has been committed to offering architectural LED lighting solutions of the highest quality, designed and manufactured in France, with a clear focus on short supply chains and the “Made in France”. Each of our LED luminaires embodies this combination of between the latest LED technologies and the local know-how.

The UIMM Côte d’Azur‘s visit to our premises in Antibes was an opportunity to share our common passion for light and to discover our design, sourcing, manufacturing and young talent training processes.

Beyond showcasing our products, the visit provided an opportunity for a stimulating discussions on the French industrial know-how and the importance of preserving it. Exchanges with UIMM members also highlighted our commitment to collaborate and share expertise within the industry, and particularly at the local level.

At Lumteam, maintaining trustful relationships with our local and national partners is a priority. This philosophy favors constant, simple and straight-forward exchanges with our partners and customers, and enables us to remain responsive and pertinent to meet expectations in terms of sustainability and performance.

We warmly thank Marcel RAGNI and Véronique PINOTTI for their interest in our company and their presence, and look forward to continuing to work together to shape a bright and sustainable future with the French industrial know-how.

Located in the north of France in Mons-en-Barœul, “La Pépite” is a 9-storey building with 45 apartments, clad in a metallic mesh and benefiting from 100% autonomous lighting thanks to energy solar. This building, included in the city’s development plan, is the work of CAAU Architects (Coldefy & Associés Architectes Urbanistes) as well as Rozen Le Couillard, lighting designer at Noctiluca.

The main idea of ​​this project was to reproduce, as naturally as possible, the variations in light intensity generated by sunlight on the structure of the building. The lighting had to be almost invisible by sublimating the metal mesh, while preserving the comfort of the residents and avoiding disturbing the urban environment.

It is therefore in partnership with the company NOWATT Lighting that the LUMTEAM teams have designed the NATIK, an LED projector programmed in “Dynamic white” (warm white / cold white variation) and capable of operating solely thanks to the solar energy produced. and managed by NOWATT Lighting equipment; a real technological advance in terms of autonomous solar scenario in 2018.

The NATIK is an LED projector in anodized aluminum with white RAL epoxy paint. Equipped with the latest generation of LEDs at the time of the project, this projector is equipped with an intensive 6 ° optic, in dynamic white. NOWATT Lighting’s photovoltaic equipment powers all of the projectors to give life to the metal mesh surrounding the building. The programming of the battery and the piloting of the NATIK are done through a proprietary application on a smartphone which provides intelligent control of the light intensity and the color temperature according to different criteria: The environment, the seasons (3 hours of lighting summer versus 6 a.m. in winter), weather conditions and latitude.

According to Rozen Le Couillard, “this lighting is a tribute to the sun because of the light waves slowly evolving on the structure of“ La Pépite ”in the evening, a tribute to geometry in the void thanks to the variations of lights which transcribe the sunshine. It is also a tribute to the night by the light waves which gradually disappear to give way to the night sky ”. (Excerpt from the interview, “Behind the scenes of the highlighting” of “La Pépite”, by Candéliance).

It is a great pride for LUMTEAM to have been able to put its industrial and technical know-how at the service of this original and avant-garde project.
