The Modono Tile™ Collection is a unique series of glass tile with textures and patterns that respond to varying colors and wavelengths, created by nationally recognized designer Carrie Fazio. Four distinct series make up the Modono Collection: Opulence, Vintage, Extreme and Organic.  Opulence, considered the designer series, is a luxurious metallic line with three subtle layers of dynamic textures.  Glass tiles in the Vintage, Extreme and Organic series portray an iridescent sheen designed to transmit or reflect specific wave lengths (colors) and will appear to change color as the viewer's perspective to the product changes or the light sources relative to the product change in direction or intensity. Vintage colors and patterns were selected with a Victorian sensibility and 1950s flare, using rich blues, reds and purples for an overall classic feel. Extreme offers a less-subtle color palette, utilizing screaming colors for an active installation, in which the colors move and change based on the lighting even after the product is installed. For the Organic series, Fazio selected natural and organic textures and patterns that are seen in the environment, including bamboo and tree branches. Fazio has created this collection that utilizes varying textures and sizes to bring a radically new design element to both interior and exterior spaces.

Projection Lighting includes lamps and systems that are used in modern digital projectors and projection televisions (DLP and projection LCDs). The technical challenges with the lighting systems often center on generating lamp, substrate, and coating designs that address heat management, small space envelopes, and increased lumen output. As an approved supplier to several world-class manufacturers of projection lighting systems, Applied Coatings Group (ACG) is committed to the technical advancement of the coatings and the substrates in these applications.

Medical and dental professionals have incredibly demanding expectations for the quality of light under which they work. They also have a considerable interest in maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment. Heat, color, and shadow management are typical areas that are of prime importance. Typical substrates for medical lighting reflectors are glass, ceramic, metal and various high temperature plastics. The highly complex surfaces and the significant depth-to-diameter aspect ratio of many of these reflectors are a challenge to coat with consistent quality. ACG has developed the expertise to deposit heat and light management film on these difficult shapes. In addition, ACG can provide a reliable source of high quality substrate that meet both customer and regulatory requirements. We urge you to get us involved in the earliest stage of product design so we can bring our expertise to your medical lighting applications.

Bausch & Lomb was one of the first manufacturers to develop optical thin film coating technology to support the advancement of the general lighting market. The earliest lighting systems were considered technical applications, but the solutions developed soon found application in more general or "display" areas. ACG continues to supply the market with both types of applications although the vast majority of high volume, traditional (less technically and optically demanding) products are made, coated, and assembled in low labor cost areas of the world. However, when there is a requirement for general lighting that has superior optical properties or greater consistency in light quality, ACG can offer excellent design and product support.

Reliable, efficient, flexible, and "cool" lighting—both in look and temperature—is critical to the visual and atmospheric presentation of a theater production. ACG pioneered the early development of light management for the stage and has been a supplier to this demanding marketplace for over 50 years. ACG continues to develop new and unique application solutions for this ever-changing sector.

The automotive market requires a variety of coatings that are lighting and non-lighting related. Relying on its wealth of knowledge and years of experience, ACG has developed and delivered a range of coatings to meet many of these stringent and varied applications.

• Non-lighting — ACG developed an innovative barrier coating for solid oxide fuel cell components.
• Lighting — ACG developed a unique set of coatings for blue and red emergency lights that are sharper and brighter than any other emergency lighting system. Because of performance advantages and appeal, customers have asked the manufacturer to retrofit their fleets with the new lighting system.
• Automotive after-market — ACG worked with Asian automotive makers to apply a thin film coating directly on halogen bulbs as part of the assembly process of European and Asian all-weather automotive lamps.

Optical thin film coatings, whether they are intended to add durability or to enhance optical performance, are an integral component of the physical glass or plastic optic. ACG can help you define the desired results of the optic, design the appropriate thin film, develop the metrology, and document the requirements in a specification that produces the desired properties. Our value in this process is to provide objective counsel to avoid the tendency to over-design and over-specify—often a source of expensive, non-value added requirements. For that very reason, it is beneficial for optics manufacturers to work with our engineers and material scientists at the beginning stage of a product's life cycle.

ACG's Optivex™ provides ultraviolet light blocking properties to prevent UV degradation of artwork. Used in museums, fine art galleries, private art collections, or in high-end boutique retail, Optivex offers the greatest insurance against the damage of priceless artwork from unchecked ultraviolet radiation. UV attacks both colors and the integrity of fabric. Optivex makes it possible to block more than 99% of the harmful UV radiation from artificial light sources while transmitting a high CRI so the art is seen in its natural color. The referenced studies attached are testament to Optivex's premier position in the market of art preservation.
