Schlüter-LIPROTEC

Schlüter-LIPROTEC enables both direct and indirect illumination, allowing designers to create a striking visual effect throughout hotel bathrooms, spa facilities, wellness suites, guest bedrooms, reception areas and food and beverage spaces. Whether highlighting feature walls, accentuating bespoke joinery, framing shower enclosures or introducing subtle guidance lighting to corridors and stairways, the range helps bring design concepts to life while maintaining a clean, integrated finish.

Providing significant creative freedom, the system is available with warm white, neutral white and RGB+W LED technology. The RGB+W option incorporates both coloured and white LEDs within a single strip, enabling dynamic colour-changing effects alongside adjustable white light temperatures between 2500K and 6500K. Using Bluetooth-enabled controls and a dedicated app, lighting scenes can be tailored to suit different environments and times of day, from calming spa settings to vibrant hospitality and entertainment spaces.
