Last October, the 9^th, the Optic Institute in Saint-Etienne marked this day with a partnership with Alliance LED

So as to celebrate this centenary, called on Eric Michel, lamp creator, to organize the three buildings (Bordeaux, Paris-Saclay, Saint-Etienne).

Founded in 1917, the Optic Institute is the oldest building for higher education and optic and photonic research in the world.

Thanks to its pioneer state of mind, inventive and creative, the Optic Institute has known an important development: from the one-year certificate of a few students during the first years, to the promotion of 150 student-engineers in 3 locations today (Bordeaux, Paris-Saclay, Saint-Etienne). Faithful to its goal established by the 1920 law, it supports the French photonic industry by harmoniously combining the formation of scientific engineers, doctoral formation, innovative-entrepreneurship and research at the highest level with its three laboratories (Charles Fabry Laboratory, Numeric Photonic and Nano sciences Laboratory (LP2N), Hubert Curien Laboratory).

Progressive lenses, zooms, broadband fiber optics communication, non-contact measuring in the industrial or medical area, engineers from SupOptique bring major contributions to light science and technology.

Highlighting work of arts and atmosphere lighting

Lighting in museums and galleries is here to obtain the perfect balance between environment quality and needed energy consumption for the installation lifespan. The LED technology is perfectly adapted for this role.

It is here to guide visitors: catch the eye on art without misrepresenting colors (led products with a CRI (color rendering index) >80 or 90).

The atmosphere in a museum is here to play with colors, shadows and lights in order to add fun to the visits.

“The AQUA exhibition – Romans’ Invention gathers a presentation of archeological objects, models, reconstitutions, videos and photographs. From the source to the evacuation, the exhibition introduces the water cycle and its uses back in the Roman era, confronted to our use today. An engraving selection and a photographs exhibition by Philippe Schuller dedicated to the Aqueduc du Gier (Water Memory) remind us the importance that still holds today works from the Antiquity).”

Discover the new AQUA exhibition at the Gallo-Roman museum in Lyon from the 8^th of November to the 6^th of May 2018.
