The TU Berlin (Technical University, Institute of Electronics and Lighting Engineering, Professor Dr. Kaase and Dr. Rosemann) collaborated with Semperlux AG and with Italian and Swedish partners to develop a lighting system based on a hollow light guide. Daylight and artificial light provided by a sulphur lamp are fed into the light pipe, the aim being to reduce energy consumption and enhance user comfort. The Arthelio prototype, which is installed in the Semperlux central administration building, provides energy-efficient lighting. At the same time, it improves the quality of the atmosphere in the windowless stairwell at Semperlux headquarters.
Semperlux receives the Berlin Environment Award.

In "Berlin beleuchtet." industrial designer Sabine Röck
tells the 50-year-old story of the family company reflected in the history
of the city of Berlin and events that marked the history of the world
during that time. Semperlux's fate and fortune are closely linked with
the City of Berlin and its development after 1945. Thus the book documents
a part of the economic growth of the German capital. A large number of
se'lux products have already become classics, which also makes "Berlin
beleuchtet" a history of lighting fixtures, in a way. But the well
illustrated book also provides an insight into modern luminaire design
and explains the technical background to se'lux products simply and clearly,
so that non-lighting experts can understand it.
