Custom Honeycomb Louver: All You Need To Know

28 Dec, 2022

As we all know, the honeycomb louver mainly plays the role of anti-glare. It is an energy-saving and eco-friendly option, which is beautiful and practical without increasing power consumption. However, the specific honeycomb louver lighting application is not rigid and one-size-fits-all. Keep reading to learn more about the custom honeycomb louver.

 

What Is The Honeycomb Louver?

 

The honeycomb louver, also known as the hexagonal louver, has a shape and pattern that looks like a neat honeycomb with 95% open area. The light that passes through the honeycomb louver becomes softer and slightly less bright, perfect for creating a warm and comfortable lighting atmosphere.

 

Essentially, the honeycomb louver is a piece of black checkered cover mounted in front of a flashing light/fixture to reduce glare from lighting fixtures. Generally speaking, the round honeycomb louver is the most common shape, usually used in flashing lights, While the rectangular one is often used in studio lights.

The Function Of Honeycomb Louver

 

  1. Decrease glare from the fixture and constrains the range of light. The lightweight, solid metal honeycomb provides maximum control over the beam, and focuses the light. The light will become more directional for being restrained, thus giving the illuminated object a more three-dimensional feel.

 

  1. Reduce the light source. Disperse the strong light column of the spotlight, weakened to a small honeycomb net-like light column, making the original rigid direct light gentler. Of course, the lumen lighting is also reduced, too. Effective light attenuation allows the subject to stand out and create a specific atmosphere.

 

Overall, the honeycomb louver limits light to an area to minimize light loss. The main purpose is to cut glare, reduce UGR and improve visual comfort. Of course, there is more than one device to limit the flash range, but the honeycomb louver is the most common. It can find the best balance between controlling the light, gradual light attenuation, and providing a pleasant effect.

 

Honeycomb Louver Lighting Applications

 

The honeycomb louver allows the light to be gradually lost from the center to the edges. The smaller and denser the honeycomb louver grid, the more pronounced the loss of light will be, so that the range of light will be more concentrated. Thus, the light that comes out through the honeycomb louver has a rich and apparent gradation because of the good directionality and the mixture of light and dark.

 

The honeycomb louver on the market is divided into 10 °, 20 °, 30 °, 50 ° and so on. Different figures indicate the degree of light concentration. In short, the farther the light source is from the subject, the greater the range of light. The greater the density of the honeycomb louver, the smaller the amount of light flow.

 

As mentioned above, the honeycomb louver provides a more precise, targeted, and effective light beam. It is often used for photography or special accent lighting requirements. For example, to emphasize details, create a specific atmosphere, add a sense of drama to artwork, etc. Sometimes you'll find the honeycomb louver in some classy hotel or home décor, which is suitable for bedrooms, lounge rooms, lobbies, and more usages.
