With the forthcoming launch of our new website we are very excited to be including several new ranges of products which take technology a little further and alter our understanding of passive and active media.  

Our involvement in Near Field Communications and the Enlighten project is something that we feel will revolutionise retail advertising and customer engagement.  In fact "engagement" is what will set the enlighten frames aside from traditionally passive advertising, however more of Enlighten later as it is the developments in other areas of advertising displays which have provided us with some incredible additions to...

Have you ever admired the illuminated cubed back bar display behind the bar of the night club in Eastenders?
 

There is nothing like putting your feet up after work and enjoying a bit of Eastenders!  Unless you are one of our dedicated team at LUMINATI who has noticed that the back bar lit cubes that create the back bar of the R&R Night Club in Albert Square can be found on Luminati website as part of our backbar displays.  The trouble is that once Tracy shared this with us, non of us can watch Eastenders without looking for them!  

And for those that don't know the club, currently named the R&R club was opened in 1996...

ISO 14000 is the Internationally recognised standard for control of the impact of a business has to its environment. At Luminati we recycle our waste as well as using the smallest offcut and developing products where necessary from flat sheet waste.

As manufactures and retailers of the Enlighten NFC frames, articles like this one from McKinsey & Company are fascinating and illuminating reading.
 

Digital marketing is about to enter more challenging territory. Building on the vast increase in consumer power brought on by the digital age, marketing is headed toward being on demand—not just always “on,” but also always relevant, responsive to the consumer’s desire for marketing that cuts through the noise with pinpoint delivery.
 

What’s fueling on-demand marketing is the continued, symbiotic evolution of technology and consumer expectations. Already, search...

Malpensa Airport in Milan, Italy, has installed a new maintenance system that uses NFC phones and a network of 50,000 NFC and RFID tags attached to equipment and systems around the airport — including fire extinguishers, elevators, sprinklers and boarding bridges.
 

The CAM (Maintenance Activities Control) project consists of tags, supplied by RFID360, that employees can read with an NFC device to check in and out of locations, allowing the back office to verify the execution of planned maintenance and repairs in real time.
 

The tags can also be used to obtain information such as checklists, technical specifications and...

Acrylic sheeting is the core of our businesses and is a incredibly versatile material.  Often referred to by a trade name Perspex, the plastic sheet is available in a variety of colours and finishes as well as clear. Acrylic sheet is available in cast acrylic or extruded acrylic.  It is the method with which these sheets are produced which leads to this classification even though they look visually very similar.
 

Extruded acrylic is produced by taking a plastic powder or granules and heating until molten.  This is then forced or extruded through a shaped opening called a die.  The material is then sized and cooled to retain its...

Soundbar sand Playbars have revolutionised TV speakers in the last few months and after hearing some examples it is clear why.

With ever thinner and sleeker TV's the options for audio were in danger of looking like afterthoughts but the slim bar of speakers that sits just under the screen is a great and stylish solution.  With Bluetooth and wireless set ups keeping the integration neat and clean and with multiple HDMI ins for the inclusion of games consoles the trailing of cables around the skirting boards is a distant memory.

Of course there are several soundbars on the market but one which is making waves is...

Making a podium or more commonly know as an Acrylic lecterns or Perspex lecterns have advantages over wood. The main advantages are in the fact that they are able to be made in a huge range of colours, styles and perhaps effects like frosted materials. Every awards show on the TV seems to demonstrate that Acrylic is the preferred design for a podium.

A key design feature of a lectern is the ability to brand the display stand and build in degree of privacy. Privacy allows the presenter to have a degree of shielding from the audience below the waste increasing the presenters confidence and focussing the attention on what is being...
