ICI Paints Malaysia has introduced a new interior paint called Light & Space. The paint's claim to fame is that it makes your room feel brighter and more spacious. This is because Light & Space contains a patented technology called LumiTec that:

1. Reflects up to 2x more light
2. Saves up to 20% lightning energy
3. Has less odour

ICI Paints Malaysia's website has not updated the information on this paint but you can find more information and color samples at the ICI Paints Singapore website.
