Lighting Louvres

Lighting louvres are devices that are used to control the amount and direction of light that enters a space. They are typically installed in windows, skylights, or other openings that allow natural light to enter a building. Lighting louvres are made up of a series of angled slats or blades that can be adjusted to allow more or less light to pass through. By adjusting the angle of the blades, the louvres can also direct light towards specific areas of a room. Lighting louvres are commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings, where they can help to reduce energy costs by minimizing the need for artificial lighting. They are also used in residential buildings, particularly in areas with high levels of sunlight, to reduce glare and heat gain. In addition to controlling the amount and direction of light, lighting louvres can also provide privacy and security, as they can be designed to prevent people from seeing into a building while still allowing light to pass through. There are several different types of lighting louvres available, including fixed, adjustable, and motorized louvres. Fixed louvres are permanently set at a specific angle and cannot be adjusted. Adjustable louvres, on the other hand, can be manually adjusted to control the amount and direction of light. Motorized louvres are controlled by an electric motor and can be adjusted remotely, either manually or through a computerized system. Overall, lighting louvres are an effective and efficient way to control natural light in a building. They offer a range of benefits, including energy savings, improved comfort, and increased privacy and security.
