miscea LIGHT: A Sensor Faucet Revolutionizing Hand Hygiene

Integrating Convenience and Hygiene in a Sleek Design

The miscea LIGHT sensor faucet combines elegance and functionality to provide a hygienic and ergonomic handwashing experience. Designed by Rob Langendijk, this innovative faucet features an integrated soap dispenser, making it a game-changer in the world of bathroom fixtures.

Some of the most timeless designs are those that prioritize purpose and function. The miscea LIGHT is a prime example of this philosophy. It solves the problem of unsightly separate soap or disinfectant dispensers by seamlessly incorporating them into the faucet design. The result is a sleek and modern fixture that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any bathroom.

The ergonomic design of the miscea LIGHT ensures uncomplicated use and maximum comfort and durability. By utilizing advanced sensor technology, this faucet delivers a truly minimalistic and intuitive handwashing experience. The sensor activates the soap dispenser when a user's hand passes over it, ensuring soap is dispensed only when the hand is placed under the soap outlet. Water can be received by holding hands under the water outlet, providing a seamless and hygienic process.

One of the standout features of the miscea LIGHT is its ability to create a calm and inviting ambiance. In idle mode, soft pulses of light instantly transform the bathroom into a tranquil space. This unique design element adds a touch of sophistication to any environment.

The miscea LIGHT system can be further customized and controlled using the miscea remote control. This allows users to adjust various functions to their desired settings, providing a personalized experience.

Behind the scenes, the miscea LIGHT utilizes advanced infrared (IR) technology for proximity hand detection. Years of research and development have resulted in a highly reliable and fast-responding sensor faucet. The software algorithm for filtering the detected signal plays a crucial role in overcoming challenges such as light reflections and changing environmental conditions.

Technical specifications of the miscea LIGHT include a height of 181 mm, a base diameter of 66 mm, and an operating water pressure range of 0.8 - 10 bar. The faucet weighs 1.0 kg, while the soap box weighs 0.95 kg. It operates on a voltage of 12V DC and an input voltage of 100 ~ 240V AC / 50 ~ 60Hz. With an IP 55 enclosure rating for PCB compartments, the miscea LIGHT is built to withstand various conditions.

The miscea LIGHT project began in March 2012 and was completed a year later in Berlin. It was officially launched and showcased at the ISH 2013 trade event in Frankfurt, Germany.

This exceptional design has not gone unnoticed in the industry. The miscea LIGHT was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category in 2014. This recognition highlights the faucet's outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill.

The miscea LIGHT sensor faucet is revolutionizing hand hygiene by seamlessly integrating convenience and hygiene in a sleek and modern design. With its advanced sensor technology and integrated soap dispenser, it offers a hygienic and ergonomic handwashing experience like no other. Say goodbye to unsightly soap dispensers and hello to a new era of stylish and functional bathroom fixtures.
