The new version of the product (EcoSlim) offers a low-profile design that eliminates ceiling clearance limitations, paving the way for renovation and retrofit installations. The image tile is only a quarter-inch below the uniformly illuminated edge-lit light guide. The product is dimmable.

The product is designed for healthcare, hospitality, commercial, institutional and residential applications, but typical applications would include hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, restaurants, spas, gymnasiums, retail stores, offices, conference rooms, classrooms, bedrooms and kitchens. It is compatible with MRI applications and sealed/gasketed versions are available for clean environments.

Why use SkyCeilings? Sky Factory says the product triggers “the same psycho-physiological relaxation response as an experience of real sky. It can even modify the viewer’s subjective experience of vertical space, making enclosed areas feel more open and less claustrophobic. Evidence Based Design research has shown that authentic illusions of nature such as Sky Factory SkyCeilings alleviate stress, increase comfort, and reduce the use of pain medications in healthcare environments. In the workplace, hospitality and residential environments, these ceilings have been shown to increase productivity and reduce fatigue.”

Fail-Safe Lighting, by the way, offers what seems to be a competitive product called Visual Therapy. These fixtures also help create a healing environment by illuminating photographic images by Joey Fischer, nature photographer and Smithsonian Award recipient.
