Grid-Connected Ceiling Lighting

In modern learning environments, visual clutter and a lack of flexible infrastructure can become significant barriers. Grid-Connected Ceiling Lighting is a modular ceiling panel system designed by Minseo Park, Daeun Kang, and Minag Kim from Jeju National University, integrating connectivity, sound, and power into a clean and functional design.

Shared spaces often face issues such as excessive devices and visible wiring that disrupt the aesthetic of the environment, floor cables that may cause tripping hazards or damage, and the need for additional time, wiring, and costs whenever new devices are installed.

This system transforms the ceiling into a central hub for essential services through interchangeable modules connected to a main grid. It provides stable and direct connectivity throughout the space, eliminating blind spots and visible antennas. Sound distribution is seamlessly integrated into the panel, ensuring uniform audio without the need for external speakers. Additionally, it allows for retractable power outlets to be lowered when needed, reducing cable clutter and improving both safety and flexibility within the space.
