C&C Lighting Cielo Artificial Skylight with white frame, blue sky panel and black recessed housing with side access panel.

Cielo Artificial Skylight

The C&C Cielo Artificial Skylight brings the look of a clear blue sky to rooms with no window or roof opening, from entrance hallways and studies to kitchens and basements. Its nano-structured optics scatter light the way the atmosphere does, and a 30° tilted beam casts angled light across the nearest wall like sun slanting through a real skylight.

How the Sky Effect Works

In the atmosphere, shorter wavelengths such as blue and violet scatter more strongly than red, which is why a clear sky looks blue. The Cielo uses nano-structured optics to reproduce that Rayleigh scattering effect in a recessed ceiling panel, producing a deep azure sky tone.

A 30° tilted beam then throws angled light across the nearest wall, like sunlight slanting through a real skylight. That angled wash is what gives the sky its depth and clarity.

The dimmable output supports the full day. Run a bright sunlight mode in the morning, then switch to an ultra-low-brightness moonlight mode in the evening.

Light Direction and Wall Placement

Where you place the Cielo relative to a wall controls where the angled light lands. Three measurements matter:

  • M: the distance from the outer edge of the decorative frame to the wall.
  • H: the distance from the upper edge of the projected light to the ceiling.
  • N: the height of the lit area on the wall, which is determined by H.

The relationship between the two placement values is M = 1.7 x H. For example, to start the lit area 30 cm below the ceiling, place the edge of the frame about 51 cm from the wall. Adjust the distance from the wall (M) to move the lit area up or down.

Installation Requirements

Key measurements to confirm before ordering:

Dimension Size Notes
Product size 598 x 434 x 190 mm Overall unit
Head clearance 20 cm minimum Suggested space above the ceiling
Convex frame 636 x 327 mm Magnetic decorative frame
Inset frame 660 x 351 mm Magnetic decorative frame
Weight 4.76 kg Confirm the ceiling can support the load
  • Aluminum ceilings: the Cielo is fitted by default, so no opening holes are required.
  • Gypsum and other non-aluminum ceilings: purchase the accessory package separately. It contains 4 hanging brackets, 4 hanging assemblies, 4 hanging cords with rings, 2 safety cords, and a magnetic ornamental frame.

Confirm opening and frame dimensions with C&C before cutting. Installation must be completed by a qualified electrician or contractor in accordance with local building and electrical codes.

Control and Smart-Home Options

The Cielo is controlled over Bluetooth mesh and is dimmable from bright sunlight scenes to ultra-low moonlight scenes.

To add voice and smart-home control, pair it with a compatible Bluetooth mesh gateway (sold separately). With a gateway, the Cielo works with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa.

Joining Multiple Units

The Cielo is built to the 3060 standardized size, designed to match common integrated ceiling modules, and supports multi-joint installation. Several units can sit side by side to form one larger sky, creating a wide window effect across a hallway, kitchen, or living room.

Where to Use It
  • Entrance hallways: bring a clear sky into the first space you walk into after coming home.
  • Living rooms: add a feature ceiling that feels like a private skylight.
  • Studies, studios, and home offices: a calm, bright overhead light for reading and focused work.
  • Children's rooms: a soft sky overhead, with moonlight mode for the evening.
  • Kitchens: add a window-like focal point in rooms with no outside view.
  • Basements and interior rooms: bring the look of daylight to spaces where natural light never reaches.
Frequently Asked Questions

What ceilings does the Cielo fit?
Aluminum ceilings by default, and gypsum or other non-aluminum ceilings with the accessory package. Allow at least 20 cm of head clearance above the ceiling.

Can I use more than one?
Yes. The 3060 standardized size supports multi-joint installation, so several units can be combined into one larger sky.

Is it dimmable?
Yes. Run a bright sunlight mode during the day and an ultra-low-brightness moonlight mode at night.

Do I need a gateway for voice control?
The Cielo has built-in Bluetooth mesh control. A compatible Bluetooth mesh gateway, sold separately, adds Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa.

Which decorative frame should I choose?
The Cielo uses a magnetic decorative frame in a convex (636 x 327 mm) or inset (660 x 351 mm) style. Tell us which you prefer when you order.

What color and quality of light does it give?
An 8000K sky-white tone with CRI Ra 90+, so surfaces and skin tones look natural.

How much does it weigh?
4.76 kg. Confirm your ceiling can support the load before installation.
