This system is compatible with the Urano 50 and Urano 70 profiles, two of Actilum’s standards for the installation of floating tensioned ceilings, providing flexibility and ease of installation in a variety of applications.
Light Spectrums and Performance
The Frontline S12 is available in two standard color temperatures:
4.000K: Precise balance between warm and cold light that does not alter the colours of clothing, cosmetics… Generates a feeling of comfort, ideal for stretch ceilings and general lighting of spaces.
5.000K: Daylight, suitable for applications where intense visual clarity is required. For shops, products and multi-brand advertising. It is the calibration temperature used in cameras, printing, human vision…
6.500K: Cold light used in displays, signage, detail highlighting, jewellery (steel, silver, diamond), technology products.
SOLAR 5.000K: Displays natural colours, defines objects and textures as they are seen under natural sunlight. It shows pure whites, it is ideal for human beings (HCL).
The product is designed to be dimmable, allowing the light intensity to be adjusted according to the space’s needs, providing both functionality and visual comfort.
Its Flicker-Free LED technology ensures flicker-free lighting, which is essential in environments where people spend a lot of time under artificial light, such as offices or commercial areas.

Applications of the Frontline S12
This lighting system excels in its ability to integrate into different architectural environments, offering versatile solutions for:
- Tensioned Ceilings: The Frontline S12 is an ideal option for tensioned fabrics with silicone cords for small and medium lightbox formats, and PVC diffusers with heat guns for large surfaces, thanks to its ability to provide uniform, shadow-free lighting.
- High-Color Rendering Lighting: With its high CRI (up to 90), this system is excellent for spaces where color accuracy is essential, such as art galleries, photography studios, or fashion stores, offering elevated reds and CRIs up to 98%.
- Architecture and Interior Design: Its slim and discreet design, with almost no visible cables, allows the Frontline S12 to seamlessly integrate into cutting-edge architectural projects, creating modern, sophisticated environments with no maintenance required.
Installation and Layout
The Frontline S12 offers great flexibility in installation, with specific recommendations for lightboxes of different thicknesses:
- 50 mm Lightbox: Recommended module spacing of up to 120 mm.
- 70 mm Lightbox: Recommended spacing of up to 200 mm for better light distribution.
Key Recommendations for Maximizing Light Intensity
and Improving System Homogeneity
Maximizing Light Intensity
To increase or decrease light intensity, two options are recommended: choosing either the 8W or 13W model, and adjusting the distance between the Frontline S12 modules in the lightbox, which increases or decreases light density.
Improving Light Homogeneity
For uniform, shadow-free lighting, it’s essential to keep the entire interior of the lightbox white, preferably using matte RAL 9010 white, which ensures homogeneous reflection and prevents light color absorption or distortion.
Avoid Colored Profiles
To preserve light quality, the use of colored interior profiles should be avoided, as they can alter the light tone. It’s recommended to minimally use white spray on profiles to ensure distortion-free lighting, which is crucial in applications that require color precision and shadow-free edges.
Safety and Durability
The Frontline S12 has been designed with the highest safety and quality standards in mind. It features its own aluminum heat dissipation system, allowing cuts into four 150 mm sections. It incorporates American current drivers to reduce electrical drops with quick installations and a minimal amount of wiring.
Thanks to its durability and use of long-lasting LED technology and premium raw materials, the system requires no complex maintenance.
