To assure quality products is a very important asset of
competitiveness on the market. In Mirno, they developed their
own development department, which enables them to quickly
respond to the needs of the market, and through which they can
precisely monitor new technologies, and trends in design and
materials.
In their own laboratory, they carry out various tests, trials and
measures, and with the information they gain, they can constantly
implement improvements to their lighting. The knowledge is also
used as the guiding principle for new product designs. Their offer
is upgraded through the creation and design of lighting solutions
for public, business and commercial premises and, as well as
legal regulations, is also focused on the purpose of the lighting,
and the characteristics of the place itself - its size, position and
environment. Each solution is therefore unique. Besides their
technical completion, their lighting is distinguished by a uniform
and recognisable style which ensures the distinctive recognisability
of the trademark in a competitive market. The company's vision
also follows the direction of trademarks becoming brand names.
They decided to invest heavily particularly in design, marketing
and support for a while, which is made possible by the best
technology and factories equipped with the latest machinery,
which enables flexible production and accuracy.
The Intra Studio in Ljubljana, in cooperation with architects and
investors, is intended for consulting and the creation of lighting
solutions.
In the BTC City shopping centre in Ljubljana, on the first floor
of the Diamant (Diamond) building, they have opened a new
exhibition and consulting premises called Intra Studio, which
exhibits integrated lighting solutions. In five cubes designed by
Sadar Vuga Arhitekti d.o.o. there are, next to the extensive offer
of lighting and creative lighting solutions, effects exhibited that
can be achieved with the use of different sources of light. In this
exhibition and consulting premises you can see the entire range of
products, and discuss the necessary support for making your ideas

become reality. The effects that are seen in studio offer creative
ways of solving lighting challenges, achieved with the use and
disposition of different sources of light. Numerous professional
lectures are organized here on the future of lighting. A while ago,
there was a lecture by an acknowledged Scandinavian lighting
designer, who also lectures at the Bergen School of Architecture
in Norway, and is director of Eco-Digi City Consulting, a lighting
design consultancy in Helsinki, Professor Lars Bylund.
LED technology - the future of lighting - offers a longer lifetime,
lower energy consumption and longer durability of the light
source.
In intra lightning we are aware that, as in other branches of
business, lighting is more and more focused on the search for
sources that would lower emissions, and despite the low use of
the energy, ensure the greatest possible efficiency. They eagerly
follow all the development guidelines, and with an offer of LED
lights, are completing their offer of basic lightning. Considering
the fast development of LED technology, in the company they
are convinced that lighting utilisation rates and the luminosity
of LED will be used for basic lightning within 10 years. Today,
this technology due to its lower luminosity, is used mainly as
secondary lighting, i.e. ambience lighting, which with the use of
coloured light and mixing colours creates an excellent atmosphere
and dynamics. Compared to other sources of light, LED has quite
a few advantages, such as a longer lifetime, lower consumption
and the durability of the light source.
“We are aware that stress is an inevitable consequence of the
modern way of life. Therefore, in our company, we are encourage
open mutual communication and relaxed relations on all levels
− vertical and horizontal« said the president of the board Mr
Furlan.
The values of the company are always deriving from the persons
and relations in the company. The most important values are team
work, and transfer of experience to younger co-workers and all
new co-workers; they are aware that only with combined power
and cooperation is further development possible. An orientation
towards a common goal − to follow innovations and trends in
technologies, sources of light and materials - is possible only if
based on mutual respect and work evaluation. At Intra lightning,
due to everything stated above, this is certainly possible.
