In previous post,we compared the difference between digital printing glass and UV printed glass,learn more.
Generally speaking,digitally printed glass has below advantages:
1.Digitally printed glass can be used in outdoor,no fading,same lifetime as glass.
2.Digitally printed glass can control the color transparency.
3.Digital printed glass can be further made into tempered,laminated glass,and insulated glass.
What if the digital printing glass combine with the lighting in buildings?
1.Inspire inspiration and explore new dimensions of architectural lighting with the help of reflection, light and pattern elements in printed glass. The focus of lighting design is on illumination, but it does not have to be traditional. On the contrary, you can use the creative ability of glass digital printing technology, combine the color spectrum of LED lighting, and display the ambient light, making it an indispensable part of architectural lighting design.

Perfect lighting effect combing with LED lights
An renovated old factory was covered by a huge box-shaped roof, constructed from hundreds of digitally printed glass in Norway. Realistic photo images have been optimized for digital printing on glass. Backlit by over 14,000 LED lights in multiple colors, the album’s colors constantly change, creating an incredible effect and an unforgettable experience.
In architectural lighting design, whether it is for natural light or artificial light, decorative glass can be perfectly applied, presenting the expected excellent effect.
2.Glass digital printing technology can fully realize the freedom of design, so that it is not restricted by color, pattern, image or size, and realizes unique and diverse architectural lighting solutions. Therefore, digital printing is an ideal solution to create functional characteristics of decorative glass, which can not only enhance visual effects, but also control light intensity and glare, and improve energy efficiency. You can create unique decorative glass elements through glass digital printing technology, allowing the glass to show subtle changes in different periods of time according to indoor and outdoor light.

3.Using glass digital printing technology in the lighting design, the external environment is naturally integrated into the architectural design and lighting scheme. When exposed to natural light, bright colors will glow like gems. Street lamps can also become a lighting element, reflecting the decorative glass design on the building’s curtain wall, while the backlight projects a soft translucent color, presenting an excellent effect that only glass digital printing can achieve. Digital ceramic printing glass can help you block ultraviolet rays from entering the room, while also allowing you to design patterns and light-dark relationships as you like.
