Limbus is a direct light suspension lamp designed by Emanuele Ricci. It looks like a small bright planet shining light downwards.
This lamp is a perfect synthesis of form and function, in which optics, thermodynamics, glass engineering and precision metalworking combine to create a pure and essential product in the most authentic Lumina style.
It consists of a glass sphere (ø 12cm) and an aluminum ring that separates the two hemispheres horizontally. Its name, "Limbus", is Latin for edge, frontier, border.
The hemispheres are made of thick glass with Bohemian pattern. The lower hemisphere is the optical component (lens) and protects the light source. It has been designed to produce a direct light that shines downwards at an angle of 60°, allowing the lamp to be viewed in all its magical charm without the slightest reflection outside the cone of light itself.
The upper hemisphere is designed to protect the internal components from external agents such as dust and insects.
The 3-spoke aluminum central ring is made internally with the latest generation numerically controlled (CNC) lathes. It is the key structural element of Limbus, as it supports and connects all the components of the lamp.
The silicone gaskets make the body of the lamp impenetrable from external agents.
At the center of the sphere, the crown-shaped deep-drawn aluminum core perfectly directs the outgoing light and at the same time illuminates the glass body of Limbus.
The core houses the LED (CRI 97), the heat sink (working temperature: 70° C) and the holographic filter, responsible for producing a more uniform light.
The core can be accessed for maintenance by simply unscrewing the lower hemisphere.
Limbus is also available in the following models: Limbus Chandelier x6, Limbus Modular MS, Limbus Modular M and Limbus Modular ML
