For decades, Louis Poulsen has been known and esteemed for its light-

ing product families offering various sizes and shapes of the same

design idiom.

The availability of multiple sizes in a given fixture design allows architects

to overcome aesthetic challenges when seeking to design a space in

an unintrusive way.

A uniform design in different variants provides the opportunity to create

unique atmospheres for rooms and buildings.

The possibilities are endless with the new LP Mini Downlight generation of

iconic designs from Louis Poulsen.

The MINI’s have been created in homage to the established icons. BALLERUP, MUNKE-

GAARD, STRATA, OSLO: all products with enduring design.

They have proven to provide a fantastic adaptability to enduring architectural styles and

appear today as long lasting alternatives to many other products, simply due to their

originality in every detail and care for light.

KEY FEATURES

The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept is based on one lighting unit that can be

paired with a variety of trims or LDPs from our iconic product program. The

housing unit will work with any of the five design trims including a Basic

flat surface and the iconic Micros.

This LP MINI DOWNLIGHT program lends itself to creative freedom in light

design planning. Using the Basic version as a general installation you are

free to give each room or location its own lighting identity. You can change

the atmosphere, the look, the ambiance, the concept with one single

installation and just add the LDP. And though several of the LDPs are

family members with larger fixtures you can, due to the efficacy of the

lighting unit, make the total general installation based only on the LP Mini

DOWNLIGHT concept.

The concept of the lighting unit is based on the COB (Chip On Board) LED that, in

spite of their long life, can be easily replaced if technology’s energy efficiency

overtakes technical lifetime.

With the newly developed LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept, Louis Poulsen has

succeeded in creating luminaires of minimal size with maximum performance

without compromising the comfort and pleasant appearance of the light.

The performance is so powerful that the LP MINI DOWNLIGHT version of each of

these icons can easily be a solution in itself and deliver a unique lighting perfor-

mance in ceilings with minimal appearance.

With a CRI > 90, rendering of colours and textures in the space has been kept at a

high level.

Maximum power – minimal appearance

The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept is based on a high performance LED downlight

unit in a premium quality combined with high efficacy. The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT

BASIC downlight can easily work alone and will be delivered with a discreet and

elegant ring (Basic) that creates a clean and aesthetic connection to the ceiling.

For the creation of optimal comfort space atmosphere LP MINI DOWNLIGHT is

available in one colour temperature: warm white 3000K CRI > 90.

By choosing the LP MINI DOWNLIGHT BASIC as a general installation you are

investing in future lighting design solutions. You are able to create a different and

new atmosphere by changing out the trim with a simple grip. The variety of LDPs

allows future opportunities and creativity.

Basically a simple solution

Designed specially for the LP MINI DOWNLIGHT system. A simple and

aesthetic solution which conceals the fixture’s ceiling mounting surface.

BASIC MINI provides a simple and almost invisible interface close to the

ceiling surface. The BASIC MINI LDP ring is painted in a white hue which

harmonises with most white ceiling surfaces, offering maximum anonymity

around the ceiling light points.

It has no impact on the light distribution, thereby permitting the maximum

light output from the LED light source and offering the greatest lumen

package of all LDP units.

BASIC MINI can be used as a general interface for the entire ceiling surface

or in combination with other LDP units, without creating unnecessary

visual interference due to its simple design.

Designed by P. Hougaard Nielsen and C. J. Nørgaard Pedersen in 1963 for

the Ballerup Gymnasium. The architects specialized in building schools and

education facilities and became the standard for educational building

design for Copenhagen. Their work was based on educational develop-

ment at that time and the need for flexibility. BALLERUP in its original size

was intended as a general room light and, in spite of its very simple struc-

ture, the fixture manages to combine a powerful downlight with ceiling

surface light, and therefore is both functional and decorative lighting.

Today it is used in many hallways and reception areas.

Designed by world famous architect Arne Jacobsen. MUNKEGAARD was

and remains a true original. While it has been copied in many ways, it has

clearly been the inspiration for many excellent lighting fixtures.

The architectural input to the lighting in the celebrated listed Munkegaard

school in Gentofte created the concept of the ceiling based light, which

resulted in the ceiling becoming an important part of the architectural

experience of the space.

The new MINI maintains the basic concept of diffusing the light through an

opal shield and is available with the known and designed iconic metal ring

in satin chrome so it can match installations with other sizes in the

MUNKEGAARD FAMILY, creating a soft and beautiful distribution of luminance

from the actual fixture.

From the beginning, the architect and designer Alfred Homann began to

see light as a major factor in the experience of space in a room.

With the STRATA he created a lighting concept with a genius design that

solved a specific problem for low ceiling heights.

Also, Alfred Homann included the ceiling as an important part and detail in

the perception of the space of the room. The fixture brilliantly emits light

in the shape of the characteristic three rings, and the decorative light

distribution on the ceiling is beautifully preserved. This feel-good appearance

is consequently maintained in the new STRATA MINI.

In the context of a larger project for Gjensidige Insurance, architect and designer Kurt Nør-

regaard developed the OSLO FAMILY that has strong references to the lighting concepts of

Poul Henningsen.

This comes as no surprise because Kurt Nørregaard was employed by Louis Poulsen for

many years as a consultant on the development and interpretation of Poul Henningsen’s

many drawings and ideas.

However, in a way one can say that he turned it all upside down. Focusing on the ceiling and

indirect light distribution inspired Kurt Nørregaard to create a product line with an un-

precedented high level of lighting comfort and atmosphere-creating effect. His starting

point was the same as Poul Henningsen, namely the burning point of the filament.

Therefore, it has not been so easy to update the OSLO FAMILIES for LEDs, since the lighting

now comes from a “flatter surface”.

OSLO MINI retains the amazing light, the minimal and yet very beautiful harmonious design.

It is a fixture that has a quiet, but iconic appearance at the ceiling level. The increased power

of the LED version will undoubtedly be inspirational for many to create overall aesthetic

lighting solutions with this simply designed fixture.

The colour reproduction characteristics of LED light sources have brought interior

design colours back into the total experience of the room again. And a CRI >90 gives

the room’s colours the best conditions.

The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT series is supplied with a colour temperature of 3000K, which

is called a ’warm white’. The smooth transitions in the spectral curves between blue,

green, yellow and red ensure that middle hues also stand out clearly, making LEDs not

only a highly energy effi cient light source, but also the right choice when you want to

experience the world as naturally as possible.

The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept is a new generation of lighting solutions that embrace the

need for architecturally designed ceiling light systems that are energy efficient with ample

opportunity for creative design applications.

The fixtures are big on light output, comfort and functionality, while embracing a minimal

appearance.

With the use of the COB-LED light sources your installation is easily adapted to technology

advances. With the variety of iconic LDPs, you have a myriad of opportunities to create lighting

experiences that benefit both humans and architecture.

BASIC. Symmetrical and directed downward providing maximum light distribution.

BALLERUP MINI. Symmetrical and directed downwards. The vertical three-layer hand-

blown glass cylinder provides a soft and comfortable light on the ceiling around the

fi xture, as well as reducing glare for passers-by.

MUNKEGAARD MINI. The fi xture emits diffuse and comfortable light directed down-

wards. The white opal acrylic disc provides an even illumination of the surface. The opal

disc appears to hover below the ceiling, due to its suspended placement, allowing light

to slip out through the gap between the disc and the fi xture. This results in a different

visual experience.

STRATA MINI. The light distribution is diffuse and symmetrical. The rings reduce glare

for passers-by. The surface of the rings also refl ects some light towards the ceiling,

providing the illusion of higher ceiling height.

OSLO MINI. The fi xture emits a narrow band of light directed downwards. The refl ector

rings direct a small amount of light towards the ceiling, creating a soft, harmonic

transition between the fi xture and ceiling. They also reduce the angle of glare, minimizing

any annoyance to passers-by.
