Luna is Elica's new interpretation of kitchen lighting: an advanced system designed to accompany every movement on the extractor hobs and Lhov, ensuring targeted visibility while simultaneously creating the ideal atmosphere for the home. More than a lamp, it is a design element that transforms the culinary experience into a perfect balance of functionality, comfort, and emotion. Its essential and minimal design goes beyond form to become interaction. Each line is designed to create a natural and immediate connection with light, uniting technology and everyday life. Luna interprets the needs of the contemporary kitchen, where high performance and aesthetic quality coexist without compromise. The dual lighting concept offers a complete experience: precise, controlled technical lighting for the extractor hobs and the Lhov, and soft, diffused ambient lighting that envelops the space with warmth. Direct lighting enhances colors, details, and textures, eliminates glare, and improves visual comfort throughout every stage of preparation, making every gesture safer, simpler, and more efficient. Ambient lighting, on the other hand, modulates the kitchen space, making it welcoming and convivial. A discreet luminous presence accompanies not only the preparation of dishes but also moments of sharing, transforming the kitchen into a place to be experienced as well as used. Interaction is fluid and intuitive: gesture control allows you to manage the light contactless, with a simple wave of the hand. Compatibility with the main voice assistants and the Elica app expands the experience: the light responds to your voice, adjusts remotely, communicates with the extractor hob, automatically adapts to the conditions of use and indicates any maintenance needs. The balancing system allows you to precisely adjust the lamp's height, ensuring maximum flexibility and consistently optimal lighting. The Dimmer Light and Tune White functions allow you to adjust intensity and tone, from warm to cool white, in harmony with the environment and the different times of day. With Luna, light does more than illuminate: it interprets, accompanies, and enhances. It is technology that becomes invisible, design that becomes an experience, light that furnishes and lives alongside those who choose it.
