10/04/2022 Introducing: the dedolight Asymmetric Ceiling Light
This is designed to improve the lighting in any office or room where one or more people gather for online meetings. The light can be mounted in a tiled ceiling with a standard size of 60x60cm (2 feet x 2 feet.) The fixture of the light will therefore be hidden, flush in the ceiling, and can be mounted on a permanent basis. Alternatively, for non-tiled ceilings, the light can be suspended just below the ceiling. This is far less less disturbing than having regular film lights and crew in place.This ceiling light is asymmetric, which means the light has a further reach towards the far end and ...
