New LED Lighting Product “SALIOT Showroom”
Open on September 27

Displaying the Latest Functions of the Leading-Edge Smart Lighting SALIOT

MinebeaMitsumi Inc. opens the “SALIOT Showroom” on September 27 (Wed) exhibiting a new type of LED lighting product “SALIOT (Smart Adjustable Light for the Internet Of Things)”.

Through the combination of ultra-precision, optical and  wireless technologies of  MinebeaMitsumi, “SALIOT” is a smart adjustable LED lighting, released since 2015, enabling users to easily adjust the light distribution angle, brightness and illumination position (up and down, right and left) with a smartphone and tablet. Usually, the adjustment of lighting installed on large and high ceiling is conducted manually with a stepladder or an adjusting rod. That work was time and labor consuming and costly, but SALIOT is capable of controlling the direction of light and light distribution angles with just one controller. Reducing the burden of high-place work and a layout change, it is a high-performance lighting product that enables lighting expression that has never existed before.

～Designed by Yasumichi Morita, Born of the Latest Showroom of Smart Lighting, SALIOT ～

For the interior design of the “SALIOT Showroom”, which has the ceiling height of 5 meters and the total area of 145 square meters, we appointed a designer Yasumichi Morita (CEO of GLAMOROUS co.,ltd.) who has an active presence in domestic and overseas. In the artistic space that crosses the boundaries of conventional lighting product showrooms, we have installed over 200 pieces of the latest models of SALIOT. A beautiful landscape of light and shadow is created by the fusion of spatial design by Yasumichi Morita and SALIOT.

The showroom consists of four areas and corridors partitioned by giant gold walls. Each area has a set scene such as a retail booth, a gallery, a studio, and a dining room. The latest models are installed in each area and able to experience the comprehensive power of the lighting performance of SALIOT which allows flexible transformation. We plan to hold various events at the showroom in the future and the showroom functions as a place to experience the possibilities of new lighting- Lighting Innovations.   With the opening of this “SALIOT Showroom”, we would like to aim the full-scale introduction of SALIOT to commercial facilities (department stores, shopping centers, apparel related etc.), show rooms (car dealers etc.), museums, educational facilities, event spaces, hotels and other places.

MinebeaMitsumi believes that lighting can play an important role in the future IoT society by linking devices in our daily life. We will further continue to take up the challenge of adding new values to lighting and aim to deliver products that are useful for people in charge of lighting such as for shops as well as for people in the lighting industry and the lives of end users.

《Comments from Yasumichi Morita》

➤Design Concept

For experiencing the appeal and new possibilities of SALIOT, I proposed a huge wall of organic form in the space. It has the feel of a giant sculpture, architecture and even like a Magnificent nature. Beautiful light and shadows are created when exposed to light.

This new born space is a landscape to experience light and shadow and will be a special place to guide you to a journey to explore the possibilities of the new lighting.

➤Logo Concept

I composed it expressing the light illuminated from various directions.

It is a simple design, yet sophisticated and a symbolic design with a sense of story.

I imaged the infinite expansion and possibilities from the expanse of spotlight Illuminations.

The design also contains a wish for the brand to be the one always have a spotlight from many directions and always be on the spotlight.
