The LP mini space
The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept is based on one lighting unit that can be
paired with a variety of trims or LDPs from our iconic product program. The
housing unit will work with any of the five design trims including a Basic
flat surface and the iconic Micros.
This LP MINI DOWNLIGHT program lends itself to creative freedom in light
design planning. Using the Basic version as a general installation you are
free to give each room or location its own lighting identity. You can change
the atmosphere, the look, the ambiance, the concept with one single
installation and just add the LDP. And though several of the LDPs are
family members with larger fixtures you can, due to the efficacy of the
lighting unit, make the total general installation based only on the LP Mini
DOWNLIGHT concept.

Maximum power –
minimal appearance
The concept of the lighting unit is based on the COB (Chip On Board) LED that, in
spite of their long life, can be easily replaced if technology’s energy efficiency
overtakes technical lifetime.
With the newly developed LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept, Louis Poulsen has
succeeded in creating luminaires of minimal size with maximum performance
without compromising the comfort and pleasant appearance of the light.
The performance is so powerful that the LP MINI DOWNLIGHT version of each of
these icons can easily be a solution in itself and deliver a unique lighting performance in ceilings with minimal appearance.
With a CRI > 90, rendering of colours and textures in the space has been kept at a
high level.

Basically a simple solution
The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept is based on a high performance LED downlight
unit in a premium quality combined with high efficacy. The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT
BASIC downlight can easily work alone and will be delivered with a discreet and
elegant ring (Basic) that creates a clean and aesthetic connection to the ceiling.
For the creation of optimal comfort space atmosphere LP MINI DOWNLIGHT is
available in one colour temperature: warm white 3000K CRI > 90.
By choosing the LP MINI DOWNLIGHT BASIC as a general installation you are
investing in future lighting design solutions. You are able to create a different and
new atmosphere by changing out the trim with a simple grip. The variety of LDPs
allows future opportunities and creativity.

BASIC MINI
Designed specially for the LP MINI DOWNLIGHT system. A simple and
aesthetic solution which conceals the fixture’s ceiling mounting surface.
BASIC MINI provides a simple and almost invisible interface close to the
ceiling surface. The BASIC MINI LDP ring is painted in a white hue which
harmonises with most white ceiling surfaces, offering maximum anonymity
around the ceiling light points.
It has no impact on the light distribution, thereby permitting the maximum
light output from the LED light source and offering the greatest lumen
package of all LDP units.
BASIC MINI can be used as a general interface for the entire ceiling surface
or in combination with other LDP units, without creating unnecessary
visual interference due to its simple design.

Ballerup Mini
Designed by P. Hougaard Nielsen and C. J. Nørgaard Pedersen in 1963 for
the Ballerup Gymnasium. The architects specialized in building schools and
education facilities and became the standard for educational building
design for Copenhagen. Their work was based on educational development at that time and the need for flexibility. BALLERUP in its original size
was intended as a general room light and, in spite of its very simple structure, the fixture manages to combine a powerful downlight with ceiling
surface light, and therefore is both functional and decorative lighting.
Today it is used in many hallways and reception areas.

Munkegaard Mini
Designed by world famous architect Arne Jacobsen. MUNKEGAARD was
and remains a true original. While it has been copied in many ways, it has
clearly been the inspiration for many excellent lighting fixtures.
The architectural input to the lighting in the celebrated listed Munkegaard
school in Gentofte created the concept of the ceiling based light, which
resulted in the ceiling becoming an important part of the architectural
experience of the space.
The new MINI maintains the basic concept of diffusing the light through an
opal shield and is available with the known and designed iconic metal ring
in satin chrome so it can match installations with other sizes in the
MUNKEGAARD FAMILY, creating a soft and beautiful distribution of luminance
from the actual fixture.

Strata Mini
From the beginning, the architect and designer Alfred Homann began to
see light as a major factor in the experience of space in a room.
With the STRATA he created a lighting concept with a genius design that
solved a specific problem for low ceiling heights.
Also, Alfred Homann included the ceiling as an important part and detail in
the perception of the space of the room. The fixture brilliantly emits light
in the shape of the characteristic three rings, and the decorative light
distribution on the ceiling is beautifully preserved. This feel-good appearance
is consequently maintained in the new STRATA MINI.

Oslo Mini
In the context of a larger project for Gjensidige Insurance, architect and designer Kurt Nørregaard developed the OSLO FAMILY that has strong references to the lighting concepts of
Poul Henningsen.
This comes as no surprise because Kurt Nørregaard was employed by Louis Poulsen for
many years as a consultant on the development and interpretation of Poul Henningsen’s
many drawings and ideas.
However, in a way one can say that he turned it all upside down. Focusing on the ceiling and
indirect light distribution inspired Kurt Nørregaard to create a product line with an un­
precedented high level of lighting comfort and atmosphere-creating effect. His starting
point was the same as Poul Henningsen, namely the burning point of the filament.
Therefore, it has not been so easy to update the OSLO FAMILIES for LEDs, since the lighting
now comes from a “flatter surface”.
OSLO MINI retains the amazing light, the minimal and yet very beautiful harmonious design.
It is a fixture that has a quiet, but iconic appearance at the ceiling level. The increased power
of the LED version will undoubtedly be inspirational for many to create overall aesthetic
lighting solutions with this simply designed fixture.

LEDs create true experiences
The colour reproduction characteristics of LED light sources have brought interior
design colours back into the total experience of the room again. And a CRI >90 gives
the room’s colours the best conditions.
Daylight
The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT series is supplied with a colour temperature of 3000K, which
is called a ’warm white’. The smooth transitions in the spectral curves between blue,
green, yellow and red ensure that middle hues also stand out clearly, making LEDs not
only a highly energy efficient light source, but also the right choice when you want to
experience the world as naturally as possible.

Maximum Lighting Performance –
for today and tomorrow
The LP MINI DOWNLIGHT concept is a new generation of lighting solutions that embrace the
need for architecturally designed ceiling light systems that are energy efficient with ample
opportunity for creative design applications.
The fixtures are big on light output, comfort and functionality, while embracing a minimal
appearance.
With the use of the COB-LED light sources your installation is easily adapted to technology
advances. With the variety of iconic LDPs, you have a myriad of opportunities to create lighting
experiences that benefit both humans and architecture.

BASIC. Symmetrical and directed downward providing maximum light distribution.
BALLERUP MINI. Symmetrical and directed downwards. The vertical three-layer handblown glass cylinder provides a soft and comfortable light on the ceiling around the
fixture, as well as reducing glare for passers-by.
MUNKEGAARD MINI. The fixture emits diffuse and comfortable light directed downwards. The white opal acrylic disc provides an even illumination of the surface. The opal
disc appears to hover below the ceiling, due to its suspended placement, allowing light
to slip out through the gap between the disc and the fixture. This results in a different
visual experience.
STRATA MINI. The light distribution is diffuse and symmetrical. The rings reduce glare
for passers-by. The surface of the rings also reflects some light towards the ceiling,
providing the illusion of higher ceiling height.
OSLO MINI. The fixture emits a narrow band of light directed downwards. The reflector
rings direct a small amount of light towards the ceiling, creating a soft, harmonic
transition between the fixture and ceiling. They also reduce the angle of glare, minimizing
any annoyance to passers-by.
