Ny LED misy tsipika feno miaraka amin'ny mari-pamantarana fanehoana loko 95 fara fahakeliny dia manome hazavana mitovy amin'ny tara-masoandro, tsy misy fipitipitika na loza ateraky ny hazavana manga. Misy efijery OLED, fandrefesana hafanana sy hamandoana ary metronoma tafiditra ao anatin'ilay jiro. Ny tonon-taolana maro axe dia mihodina amin'ny zoro lehibe mba hanazavana amin'ny lafiny rehetra, ka mifanaraka amin'ny piano elektrika, piano mitsangana ary piano lehibe ilay jiro. Ny fototra miendrika kônika dia misy kapila silikaona misakana ny fisolantsolana sady miaro ny velaran'ny piano.

Unique Properties: Based on optical and thermal research, L&S ARNO series provide tailored made illumination for users when they play the piano. The illuminance for piano keys is no less than 300 lx, reaching AA-grade illumination. Together with full-spectrum LED, the product can provide illumination similar to sunlight. In addition, L&S ARNO series integrate an OLED display, hygrothermograph, and metronome, support multi-angle rotary illumination for all-round illumination, and apply to multi-type pianos.
Dimensions & Packaging: L&S ARNO series include ARNO and ARNO PRO (550mmx500mmx210mm in size and 3.2 kg in weight). They are compatible with Type-C ports and have foolproof overload protection design and fire protection. The base is stable, with a silicone pad to prevent slipping and protect the piano surface. The 15-degree anti-tipping design makes it safer to use. The metronome simulates mechanical sounds, which is more natural.
Tags: Piano lamp, only light but no lamp can be seen, full spectrum LED, precise illumination, large-angle rotation, human self-sensing, 15-degree anti-tipping protection, integrating hygrothermograph and metronome, independent button, OLED display.
Production Technology: Based on optical and thermal research, L&S ARNO series are equipped with lens, reflection, diffuse reflection, and other technologies to realize precise and even illumination for piano keys and opern. The product uses a full spectrum LED, with a color rendering index (Ra) of no less than 95, no flicker, no radiation, and no blue light hazard (RGO). Thanks to the OLED display, the built-in metronome (40 to 208 bpm) and the hygrothermograph, the product is more useful for piano practice and daily maintenance.
Design Challenge: The large-angle multi-shaft joint design allows users to rotate it flexibly for all-round illumination. The conical base with grooves is stable when the product rotates, which applies to electric pianos, upright pianos, grand pianos, and other types of pianos. The product has innovative sounds of the metronome that can simulate the actual mechanical beats of studios. The tempo range is 40-208 bpm, and beat selection is 0/1/2/3/4/5/6. The sound is more natural and well-received by users.
Research: With the design concept of only light but no lamp can be seen, L&S ARNO series provide illumination for piano keys and opern. They integrate the metronome, hygrothermograph, human self-sensing, and other humanized functions with a unique appearance, which improves the practicality and convenience and creates an artistic sense during playing the piano. The innovative large-angle joint rotation realizes all-round illumination, thus offering users the ultimate experience.
Inspiration: L&S ARNO series are inspired by the Arno flowing through the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. The conical base with a silicone sucker is as stable as Ponte Vecchio and has multiple anti-tipping designs.The groove design enables the product to avoid the piano hinge, like the Arno, thus protects the piano. Matched with the linear lighting design, the product is simple and artistic. L&S ARNO series have high integration and multi-dimensional rotary way, breaking the limitation of traditional desk lamps.
Project Duration: The project finished in September 2022 and May 2023 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: L&S ARNO series have a multi-shaft design to rotate joints with large angles to provide all-round illumination, which applies to electric pianos, upright pianos, and grand pianos. They feature intelligent sensor lighting that will automatically turn off when the user is not at the seat for 10 minutes. The visible independent touch button allows brightness self-adjusting with manual and stepless modes. The PRO type has a color temperature range of 2700K-5000K and supports stepless adjustment.
