The Lighting Pad is used in almost every area where a high-quality light and acoustics solution is demanded. The light-acoustics module is available in various shapes, colours and sizes, and allows users to react flexibly to spatial specifications and develop tailor-made solutions – alone or arranged in groups or in specific structures.

The haptically pleasant fleece surface masks a highly efficient sound absorber. At first sight almost invisible, the fleece integrates high-performance LEDs that are recessed in its surface. The LEDs emit a brilliant, high-quality, glare-free light through so-called free-form lenses, developed by the renowned Bartenbach laboratory.

At the same time, with its height of just 60 millimetres, the Lighting Pad is highly effective in terms of acoustic performance. "Acoustic light" is the term coined by the Nimbus Group for the performance of the Lighting Pad. "Our new product is an excellent sound absorber in the highest absorption classes, making it an ideal problem-solver in communication environments with exacting requirements in terms of speech intelligibility," states Dietrich F. Brennenstuhl.

Architects, planners and interior designers appreciate the purely acoustic elements developed by the Nimbus Group – the Rossoacoustic Pads – and have already used them in many a renowned architectural project. The new hybrid of luminaire and acoustic panel considerably expands the possible applications in various types of construction projects – from conference rooms, foyers and single workplaces through to restaurant lighting. The high quality of the Lighting Pad also lends itself to a range of different interiors: discreetly hovering beneath a stucco ceiling in a historical building or as a playful highlight in an otherwise practical ambience. The variants inspire diversity and creativity in design: whether circular or rectangular, whether in white, light grey or glacier blue – the light-acoustics module offers a wide variety of options.

The Lighting Pad's material and dimensions allow harmonious combination with Rossoacoustic Pads – as well as with the Nimbus LED luminaires in the Modul Q Project and Modul R Project ranges, which are available in the same dimensions.

The firm's own planning team provides comprehensive consulting services such as lighting and acoustic design and runs the firm's own Light and Acoustic Lab. Light and acoustics simulations help potential customers experience the effect products from both brands – Nimbus and Rossoacoustic – have in a room. Nimbus Academy practical seminars, room acoustics measurements in projects and lighting design with LED technology are also offered. "Over 20 years of experience in the areas of light and acoustics shape our expertise. Planners and architects appreciate the fact that they are able to obtain these services and a guaranteed result from a single source." That is how Dietrich F. Brennenstuhl characterises the specific nature of the Nimbus Group.

Nimbus has belonged to the Häfele Group since 2019. Located in Nagold, the internationally operating specialist for furniture fittings and lighting is indispensable for furniture production and the carpentry trade, while the Stuttgart-based Nimbus Group is held in high regard in the architecture sector. Two target groups, two different worlds. And yet they have come together and boast a broad joint portfolio of lighting systems for rooms and furniture as well as integrated lighting and acoustics solutions. Product development in the fields of light and acoustics is centred in Stuttgart.
