Located on the banks of the Thau basin, the thermal establishment of Balaruc-les-Bains (34) is a therapeutic building with a unique style. This contemporary building, which has a facade in the form of an ocean liner, has decided to equip its spaces dedicated to the care of spa guests with tailor-made lighting, the operation of which is associated with the use of medical facilities.
Starting from an SFEL recessed light, a luminaire was specially designed and configured in order to offer a device that meets the therapeutic requirements requested by the medical teams of the thermal baths of Balaruc-les-Bains.
In order to integrate as well as possible into this space dedicated to well-being, nearly 550 SFEL devices are installed in this establishment.
