Welcome to the new eraWe are facing a huge change today. A change that can be ranked up there with the invention of electricity, mass production and family cars. All of these inventions bucked existing trends and thoroughly shook up day-to-day life as we knew it. You might not realize it, but now, at the beginning of the 21st century, we are facing one of the biggest challenges since the advent of mankind: the necessity to adapt our own civilization to the needs expressed by our Blue Planet.

As an innovative company, Modular, strives to find ways to allow environmental concerns to integrate with new technology, high flexibility and sophisticated design; these are our key values. Now Modular is contributing even more to saving our planet by making its entire range ‘green’, through the use of LEDs in all our fixtures. But there’s more. The engineers went one step further and developed a new LED light that clearly confirms Modular as a pioneer: a revolutionary and innovative application packed with high-end design. The Spock future starts here.

Green is the futureThe Spock is the first valid alternative on the market to energy-unfriendly halogen lamps. It generates a luminous intensity up to 1000 lumens, which is comparable to the widespread classic halogen spot of 50 up to 75 watts. With a consumption of 22 watts the Spock performs at least three times better, which can only benefit our environment and our energy bills. Thanks to this rapid revolution Spock consumption is expected to decrease even further.

Where the traditional halogen spot gives up the ghost after 5000 hours, the Spock keeps on burning for no fewer than 50 000 hours. (4 166 12-hour days)

In other words, the Spock has the same luminous intensity as the earlier conventional halogen light, but is much kinder to our planet and our wallets in terms of both consumption and lifetime.

After all, the light of the future should make a difference.

Light will changeWhen Heinrich Glöbe developed the first light bulb in 1854, he probably never expected that his invention would be attributed to the man who would steal the patent right from under his nose: a certain Thomas A. Edison. Even less could he have suspected that at the time of his death in 1893, a carbonized bamboo fiber in a vacuum-pumped eau-de-cologne flask would provoke a revolution in everyday life. Suddenly, people were able to work, walk safely through the streets or simply read a book after sun down.

A good 150 years further down the road and the basic principle of the light bulb has not changed at all. Nevertheless, the light bulb no longer meets the energy standards of the EU and as of 2009 it will be taken off the market in the European Union with an absolute ban starting in 2012. The halogen lamp is destined for the same fate, subject to an absolute sales ban in 2016. With the disappearance of these ‘traditional’ lights, lighting manufacturers such as Modular are facing an enormous challenge: they need to reinvent light, a basic need in our society.

With the Spock, Modular is taking the first step in introducing the light of the future into our homes and offices. A revolution that will bring about a badly needed change in our life, on a daily basis.

DESIGN“Fascinating is a word

I use for the unexpected”| Spock in “Star Trek - The Squire of Gothos” |

Page 16: Modular Spock brochure

Sleek intelligenceThe technological revolution taking place inside the Spock does not imply aesthetics should suffer. Quite the reverse. Produced in cast aluminium with tactile powder-coating, the Spock is a perfect example of minimalistic design by Couvreur & Devos.

Whether on the ceiling or wall or track-mounted, the Spock fitting packs more inside without being obtrusive. The result of painstaking design, the Spock does not leave a single lead showing: either on the rotating LED disk incorporated into an attractive, chrome plated ring hinge, or at the mains connection at the base of the fitting. The Spock shines through an ingenious design, refined to the last detail.

After all, the light of the future should make a difference.

"The light of the future is a recognizable Modular concept: innovative, qualitative and contemporary.”

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTIONDesigners: “When Modular showed us a flat 12-mm LED disc, we immediately realized their engineers had delivered groundbreaking results. Our assignment was to build a fixture that would push the boundaries in terms of design and modularity, as well as reinforce the new technology.”

“All connections were provided without cables, so there is not even a centimeter of cable to be seen on the Spock. We managed to do this by using a unique hinging system with all the connections meticulously worked into it. It was essential to combine the shape of the Spock and the technology of the disc to achieve perfect symbiosis. One and one makes three. In other words: the form follows the function of the technology, so that the slimness of the disc is accentuated even more.”

“Our dream is for the Spock to become a classic. This is why we opted for a stylish and timeless design with a high level of finish. When buying a Spock, the consumer will get a really eye-catching, yet not ostentatious fixture. The light of the future is a recognizable Modular concept: innovative, qualitative and contemporary.”

TECHNOLOGY“I start where thelast man left off”

| Thomas A. Edison |

Page 24: Modular Spock brochure

Invisibly ingeniousThe LED technology and the design are the result of years of research. In addition to its revolutionary inner works, the LED disc is incorporated into a truly innovative design. An asymmetrical hinge joint allows it to rotate horizontally over 359° and vertically over -10/+45°. This may turn out to be the first valid substitute for the well-established halogen spotlight.

The thin LED housing, with a cross-section of barely 12.5 mm, contains 16 high-quality Cree LEDs, aligned flat towards the outer edge of the circumference so that they are concealed from the eye. Using a reflector and redirecting plate, the light is diverted and focused via a lens into a powerful beam with an angle of 32° or 56°.

Thanks to its large emitting surface, the disc’s light is less intense and therefore not harmful to the eye, a problem that frequently plagues current LED lighting. What is more, the large surface of the disc enables optimum cooling for the LEDs, ensuring a long life of 50000 hours.

The LED engine is fitted with a built-in thermal sensor. When it exceeds a certain temperature under extreme conditions, the Spock is dimmed, so that durability is guaranteed even under exceptional circumstances.

After all, the light of the future should make a difference.

The genesis of the SPOCKModular Research & Development: “As lighting developers, we are facing enormous challenges today: creating energy-saving light that meets all our aesthetic and modular requirements. Architects have already informed us that having to integrate LED fixtures as we know them today does not make them happy. In terms of design and aesthetics, what’s on offer now is very unappealing compared to classic lighting. This is partly due to the average LED fixture working with multipoint LEDs that remain visible in the light source, which does not add anything of value to the aesthetics of the whole."

“At Modular we thought it must be possible to bundle the LEDs into one uniform lighting surface, without the separate LEDs being visible to the eye. In addition, we wanted to develop an optical system that would noticeably decrease the light intensity per mm2, in order to cancel out any possible damage to the eye, a basic rule current LEDs dare to transgress. Two years ago, intensive research was initiated to find a solution. Our engineers then had the bright idea to mount the LEDs flat in a disc, using a diffuser and a mirror reflector to send the light to the emission surface. This broad emission surface in turn ensures a bundling of the light beams which, via a redirection plate, become a beautiful homogeneous bundle of light."

“Spock really heralds a true revolution: while previously light could only be focused by a point light source, we have succeeded in generating a clearly outlined light bundle out of a broad emission surface. We are launching Spock in two beam angles: medium and flood. In the future, there will also be a dimmable version, to respond even more to consumer needs. The Spock contains new technology and fulfils the classic requirements of a lighting system: modular in use, a steady light source and high-end design to top it all. What’s more, because the Spock is energy conscious and therefore kind to our planet, it complies with standards for a greener tomorrow.”

FLEXIBILITY“I’m so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room

and was in bed before the room was dark” | Muhammad Ali |

Page 32: Modular Spock brochure

Flexible living and working In a time when smartphones, internet TV and social networks have all become a part of our daily lives, ‘always and everywhere’ is no longer a futuristic concept. We can answer emails from the deepest jungles, watch TV in our bathtubs and send out instant photographs of a beautiful sunset.

Life revolves around flexibility and this influences the way we live and work. Long gone are the days when a kitchen was merely a place to cook in. A bedroom nowadays can also be used to view home cinema, and include a dining and working area for instance. Likewise, modern offices have moved on from the old cubicle configuration: increasingly, travel desks, interactive meeting rooms and remote working are a part of today’s business landscape. The Spock has been designed to take the flexible needs of modern users into account. The flat light disc can be turned 359° and pointed up or down. As a result, the Spock will keep casting just the right amount of light on your desk at the office or at home in the living room, even if you move it. Furthermore, it can easily be fitted on walls, ceilings or a track system.

As you adapt to the times, so does the Spock. Flexibility and timeless design are rolled into one and the same fixture to meet the new needs of this era.

Warm & NeutralTo meet modern wishes, the Spock is available in a 3000 Kelvin version (warm white) as well as a 4000 Kelvin (neutral white); these values indicate the colour temperature. As a comparison: a classic household halogen gives off a light warmth of 3000 Kelvin.

Rotation & InclinationAs truly befits the light of the future, the Spock offers huge modularity. The light disc of the Spock is mounted in a unique asymmetrical hinge so that it not only can rotate 359° around its own axis, but also moves upwards and downwards by -10 /+45°.

Foot, track & wallDo you intend to place a number of Spocks next to each other horizontally on a wall? Or would you prefer them on the ceiling, with or without a track? All these configurations are possible. This revolutionary fixture comes in three versions, all in black or white finish: foot, track and wall. The whole base of the fixture is attached to the surface, whether it is a wall, ceiling or track, so that all elements are neatly concealed.
