Construction / Civil Engineering / website for a construction company
Italian term or phrase: coperture a luce orientata
My doubt here is whether "luce" refers actually to "light" or to "span"?
Could someone please shed some "light" onto this please (pardon my pun!)

Context:

Massima libertà progettuale
È una struttura in cemento armato precompresso a grande luce e sezione filante, con testate aperte o chiuse, con resistenza al fuoco rispettivamente fino a 120 o fino a 180 minuti.
Si può utilizzare in edifici con lati non ortogonali (max 45°), consente di realizzare sbalzi e di ottenere ampie superfici trasparenti e coperture a luce orientata.

Later in the text, the term is found yet again:

COIBENTE; CALCESTRUZZO ARMATO PRECOMPRESSO;TINTEGGIATURA COLORE BIANCO

Perché scegliere XXXX®

Notes to answerer
Asker: In fact, I imagined this but I needed to be 100% sure. Thank you once again for your clarification

Asker: Doubt: Si può utilizzare in edifici con lati non ortogonali (max 45°), consente di realizzare sbalzi e di ottenere ampie superfici trasparenti e coperture a luce orientata. È prodotto con altezze da 85-100-120 cm, per luci fino a 32 metri e con lunghezze definibili al centimetro. So, the measurements here refer to the sizes of the skylights and not the openings (span)...can you confirm this Alison please?
