SCHOTT CERAN® cooktop: Your color, light, and cooking experience
The first one to switch on the light: the innovative cooktop lighting
Light provides guidance, excitement and inspiration - and opens up a whole new dimension to your cooking experience. Visual and technological. As a cooking zone marker, display or source of atmospheric ambience. CERAN EXCITE®, our lighting portfolio, brings a selection of coatings to create cooking surfaces with light. CERAN Luminoir® goes even further: The material itself is deep black, but is also as translucent as possible – for even easier and smarter integration of light.Technology for light magic
Real black for pure aesthetics
CERAN Luminoir® is a true design statement with its deep black look. While dark cooktops used to have a reddish shimmer when exposed to a certain amount of light, the new glass ceramic always impresses with its purely black appearance. This dead front effect is pure aesthetics and gives the entire kitchen a sophisticated, modern look.
The cooking surface becomes the focal point of the kitchen – and the stage for a special cooking experience. The deep black material allows LED light colours to shine through more brightly and clearly than ever before and opens up completely new possibilities for design and user guidance.
Light becomes a real highlight
SCHOTT CERAN Luminoir® is a completely newly developed material – with innovative possibilities and ready for the future. It allows white light to shine through five times brighter than conventional glass ceramic, without the coatings and filters that were previously required. This saves valuable resources and time-consuming production steps, and makes cooktops with exciting lighting solutions interesting, even outside the premium segment.
Thanks to the transmission of a much wider spectrum of light, the glass ceramic now also allows white and blue light as well as colour combinations to shine through clearly: with a new level of colour fastness, brilliance and sharpness. CERAN Luminoir® is thus particularly optimised for modern hot zone lighting, user interfaces and displays - for sophisticated lighting applications in a wide variety of shapes, colours and moods.
Light and life in the kitchen
CERAN Luminoir® creates a connection between man and cooktop. Compatible with all heating technologies, it opens up the space for exciting new, individual cooktop designs. Cooking zones and features become visible and touchable, operation becomes easier and more intuitive, the cooking process more interactive and intelligent. And above all: more emotional.
Light brings atmosphere and joy into the kitchen, turns cooking into an event with many small and big moments. Thanks to the simple integration of CERAN Luminoir®, this is becoming achievable and tangible for an increasing number of people. State-of-the-art technology becomes true magic. Excitement on top.
Hot Zone
Visible decors as cooking zone markings are a thing of the past. When switched on, the active zones are visualized by attractive, colored cooking zone markings. CERAN Luminoir® makes it easy to integrate white and blue light here thanks to its permeability. Even after switching off, it remains clear which field has not yet cooled down. This means that visual feedback is now also possible with induction. For even more comfort and safety.
Cold Zone
Bright and clear 7-segment displays in all LED colors or monochrome and even high-resolution TFT displays guide eyes and hands and ensure intuitive operation. This is how EXCITE® brings your cooktop into the smartphone age – and lays the foundation for connectivity concepts in the smart, networked kitchen of the future.
Ambient Lighting
EXCITE® light is not only an operating concept, but also a design and lighting element. The edge of the glass-ceramic is illuminated by an elegant-futuristic light strip. If desired, multicolored light wraps the kitchen in atmospheric lighting, while the cooktop remains dark when switched off. CERAN Luminoir® offers an appealing contrast here between bright light and deep black.
Brings a whole spectrum of joy to your kitchen
The demands on a kitchen are changing as our everyday lives change. CERAN EXCITE® is our answer to this. A fascinating functional light technology that redefines how you experience cooking: visibly smarter, nicer, safer. Simply more exciting.
