About Infinity Freelight Luminaire
Infinity Freelight is a cylindrical track luminaire designed for the Infinity lighting system. The luminaire emits light from its whole surface, with a 360 degree beam angle. Flexible neon allows the body to be shaped freely, so lighting compositions and light objects can be created. The luminaire is available in lengths of 1.6 metres and 5 metres. Installation in the track is simple, and a patented click fixation adapter holds the luminaire in place. The 48 volt supply provides electrical safety. The flexible neon is odourless and releases no harmful chemicals.
Within the continuum of contemporary lighting design, this luminaire represents a sophisticated meditation on the intersection of functional illumination and sculptural presence, demonstrating how thoughtfully conceived lighting fixtures transcend their utilitarian purpose to become defining elements of architectural space. The design philosophy evident here suggests engagement with traditions of kinetic and light-based art while maintaining rigorous attention to practical considerations of even light distribution and installation flexibility. The catenary form, a curve naturally assumed by a hanging chain or cable under uniform gravitational load, carries rich associations with structural engineering and natural physics, lending the design an inherent sense of mathematical elegance and inevitability. Technical accomplishment manifests in the seamless continuous illumination along the tubular elements, achieving uniform luminosity without visible segmentation, hotspots, or color temperature variation, a challenge requiring precise engineering of LED placement, diffusion materials, and thermal management. The mounting system demonstrates equal sophistication, the minimal black track providing both electrical connection and structural support while maintaining visual discretion, allowing the luminous curves to appear almost to float within the architectural volume. Thematically, the work engages enduring questions of light as both medium and subject, the fixture simultaneously producing illumination and embodying it as sculptural form. The corner installation documented here reveals the system's adaptability to complex architectural conditions, suggesting modular flexibility that would allow infinite configuration possibilities. One might contemplate how this design transforms the functional necessity of artificial lighting into an opportunity for spatial poetry, inviting meditation on the ways thoughtfully designed objects can elevate everyday experience.

- Production Technology
- Flexible neon used in all FREELIGHT luminaires is odourless, does not exude any harmful chemicals and has complete ecological safety. The luminaires are certified for biological safety and ecological safety: they can be used in residential environments, common rooms and nurseries, as well as in office spaces.
We tested for presence of a number potentially dangerous chemicals: benzene, phenol, formaldehyde, lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, arsenic, selenium, barium, and many others in different environments. Many stages of testing confirmed the safety of luminaires of FREELIGHT series, showed no presence of migration of harmful chemicals from the material to the environment. - Design Challenge
- Tests were conducted in accordance with the requirements of Intergovernmental Standard of Safety of Toys GOST ISO 8124-3-2014 p.8.2, and Federative Conservational Regulatory Documents 14.1:2:4.140-98, GOST 31950-2012 p.3, MUK 4.1.1265-03, MUK 4.1/4.3.2038-05 p.6.2, p.6.3 addendum 2, for physical and chemical and toxicological and hygienic indicators, toxic elements.
We tested for presence of a number potentially dangerous chemicals: benzene, phenol, formaldehyde, lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, arsenic, selenium, barium, and many others in different environments. Many stages of testing confirmed the safety of luminaires of FREELIGHT series, showed no presence of migration of harmful chemicals from the material to the environment: total absence of such or significantly lower than maximum allowable concentration and ranges of studies.
Luminaires proved their ecological safety. They can be used in residential environments, common rooms and nurseries, as well as in office spaces. - Project Duration
- The project in September of 2021 in Moscow. The product was released in January of 2022.
- Operation Flow
- FREELIGHT can have any shape: its bending radius is 120 mm. The luminaire is easy to install in the track. Patented Dali Click mechanical fixation adapter guarantees that the luminaire will not fall out. Low voltage ensures complete electrical safety.
- Research
- CENTRSVET luminaires of FREELIGHT series are odourless, they do not exude any harmful chemicals into the environment, and they are safe in operation. Produced using only ecologically neutral materials and are safe for domestic use.
To confirm its safety, we tested FREELIGHT in compliance with the requirement for children toys safety that are significantly more rigorous than those for LED components and low voltage equipment. Tests were conducted in accredited testing laboratory "CENTER FOR RESEARCH AND TESTING" that specialises in evaluating the quality of products, compliance with Russian and international norms. - Inspiration
- We were driven by the thought of making an ecologically safe luminaire for interiors.
