Planor MPT - Thorn Lighting

Planor MPT uses state-of-the-art
MicroPrism Technology (MPT) to
achieve the best of both worlds:
high lighting performance and
low glare ratings
The MPT optic directs light
to the task area and reduces
light at high angles that would
otherwise cause glare and
uncomfortable reflections.
The result is more light where
it is needed, which can be
controlled by a MiniSensa to
provide light only when needed
for optimal energy usage.
As a result, Planor MPT not
only provides aesthetic looks
and pleasant illumination, but
energy efficiencies according
to current regulations.
• Minimalist and slim design
(35mm) for modern office
architecture
• MicroPrism Technology optics
concentrate light on the work
area and eliminate glare
• Uplight/downlight:
60/40%
• UGR < 13
• Lamps replaced from above
• Digital dimmable
ballast and MiniSensa
solution available
• 3 hour SelfTest or
Addressable Test
The design of the MPT optics will limit the
exit angle of the refracted light
Performance, Efficiency and Comfort (PEC) –
for a better lit environment
Planor MPT evokes the spirit of Thorn Lighting’s
dynamic, results-orientated PEC programme
The programme is based on
the principle that Performance,
Efficiency and Comfort determine
the effectiveness of lighting,
its impact on the people using
it, and its impact on the natural
environment. Planor MPT delivers
the right light on the right place
at the right time.
Performance: providing the
best visual effectiveness
• Well-illuminated workplaces
improve task performance and
occupant wellbeing. A UGR
< 13 for the Planor MPT
enhances task performance
and wellbeing
• The balance of uplight and
downlight creates a stimulating
environment and the use of
T16 (T5) lamps gives good
colour rendering
• Planor MPT lighting
schemes meet task and
uniformity requirements for
different applications
Efficiency: conserving energy
and effort, reducing CO 2
emissions
and waste, providing lighting that
is practical and efficient to install,
operate and maintain
• Lighting accounts for about half
of total electricity consumption
in modern office buildings.
Planor MPT optimises energy
consumption by focusing light
onto the task area and away
from the discomfort glare angles
• Digital dimmable ballasts and
built-in sensors reduce power
consumption even more
Comfort: giving people
satisfaction and stimulation
• The even illuminated surface
of the Planor MPT is pleasant
to the eye and provides a
good vertical component
of illuminance, ensuring
good modelling of people
within a space
• Being part of the Planor family
allows for project integration
in complete buildings, giving
a modern and professional
lighting solution
• Lamps are hidden from
direct view
