CERAN Luminoir®

With CERAN Luminoir®, SCHOTT brings innovative lighting solutions for cooktops to the kitchen. The deep black glass-ceramic allows LED light colors to shine through clearly and brilliantly, enabling interactive, intuitive operation. This technology combines design, user-friendliness and sustainable resource conservation for a modern cooking experience.

The focal point for new kitchen design

One of the most exciting areas of innovation in the home is the kitchen. New appliances and solutions combine modern aesthetics and smart function, with the cooking experience leading the way in new design.

With a unique set of transmission properties, CERAN Luminoir® enables white and blue light to shine through the translucent panel with a white-light intensity up to five times brighter than conventional glass-ceramics, guiding the user in a broad variety of shapes, colors, and moods.

Great lighting is key to defining the atmosphere of any room, and CERAN Luminoir® uses its full potential to make the kitchen an inviting place to cook, eat, and simply be together.

CERAN Luminoir®

With a deep black appearance, CERAN Luminoir® offers uniformly high transmission over the entire spectrum of visible light, which results in light shining through brighter and clearer. White light, for example, shines five times brighter than through conventional glass-ceramics. A perfect dead-front effect adds to the clarity, all without additional filters or coatings.

Ambient lighting

The integration of lighting elements into glass-ceramic panels not only provides guidance and control over the cooking experience, but a source of ambient light for the entire kitchen. Illuminating the edge of the cooking panel using an elegant light strip can bathe the kitchen in atmospheric lighting, offering an appealing contrast between bright light and deep black.

Testimonial Slider-01

“In contrast to previous glass-ceramics, which have a high level of light transmission, especially in the high, red range of visible light, CERAN Luminoir® has consistently high transmission over the entire range of visible light. The material thus acts like an optical neutral density filter.”
Dr. Jörn Besinger
Head of Product Management & New Business Development at SCHOTT CERAN®
Testimonial Slider-02

“The new material formula enables our customers to save production effort and costs. Because brilliant and multicolored light features can also be achieved without additional filter layers. This not only saves material and production steps, but also makes innovative lighting solutions in cooktops interesting for a broader group of buyers.”
Dr. Matthias Bockmeyer
Head of Development in the Cooking division at SCHOTT
