Cooper Lighting and Security has made a significant move into the market for architectural and display lighting with the launch of a completely new brand called Axent.

The first raft of Axent products is a comprehensive line-up of high-quality LED fittings for white, coloured or colour-changing illumination, and these will be quickly supplemented by a variety of other architectural luminaires using traditional light sources.

As well as offering the benefits of long life, energy efficiency and zero maintenance, the UK-manufactured Axent LED range can combine the light from different coloured LEDs to generate any colour in the spectrum for either fixed or dynamically changing illumination. This will enable architects, interior designers and lighting engineers to give free rein to their creativity in producing innovative lighting solutions for all kinds of interior and exterior spaces.

Commenting on the launch of the Axent brand, Leighton James, product marketing manager for Cooper Lighting and Security, said: “Tasteful coloured lighting has an immediate visual impact and can create a stimulating atmosphere in the built environment. With Axent LED solutions, lighting really has moved from being merely functional to an experience in itself. The possibilities are endless, and the only limitation will be the designer’s imagination.”

Manufactured from anodised aluminium or marine-grade stainless steel, the high-quality Axent LED products range from simple standalone luminaires to integrated colour-changing systems, for which Cooper offers a full lighting design service.
