Paneer is a lightning solution that caters to many needs. As the name suggests, the same aluminium extrusion can be used with a number of diffusers and can be altered between being suspended horizontally as well as vertically. This will give various cross sections and according to them numerous caps can be made to cater to each specific cross section.
The idea was to diversify the same extrusion body and make the scope for a limited range of multi use.
This luminaire is for general lighting purposes in a household. It is ceiling mounted, suspended. The diffuser of this luminaire can be changed. The cap of the luminaire then changes according to the diffuser. It can also be suspended in more ways than one. The combination of the mentioned changes gives a very versatile luminaire that can be used in multiple ways.
