After visiting the espaciel.com website, Hugo contacted us to look for a natural lighting solution without any work. Our team of lighting consultants suggested the Motorized Garden Reflector that he bought last summer. Since then, he has expressed his satisfaction. Hugo has even invested in Espaciel during a participative fundraising!

To thank Hugo for his involvement with us, Camille and Tom came at his request to test the Intelligent Reflector. This novelty is an evolution of the Motorized Reflector.

This new Espaciel Reflector is equipped with a solar sensor that follows the movements of the sun in real time. Thanks to the Intelligent Reflector, Hugo can also light upstairs rooms as well as his office and kitchen. The effect is fantastic in the mezzanine rooms.

Results

The result is impressive. Particularly in the darkest rooms because they are lit in second day at a distance of the bay windows. The rooms upstairs are enhanced by the sun’s rays.

The obtained benefit is immediate and bluffing. We notice that the sun rays brought by the Espaciel reflector are diffused in the lit room by reverberation on the ceiling. This brings an important quantity of natural light without being dazzling. The luminosity goes from 8 to 234 lux. Hugo is delighted with the results of this before and after loft experience. He would also like to purchase a Smart Reflector.
