Luminaires for track – Pollux

Special features of Pollux
View product description

Oval flood freely rotatable

The oval flood Spherolit lens can be freely rotated with round luminaire heads to optimally match the lighting to various objects.

Contour spotlights

Framing attachments enable a sharply defined light beam. In this way fascinating effects can be created with contour spotlights, where crisply illuminated pictures appear to illuminate from within.

Zoom spotlights

The light beam diameter can be infinitely adjusted from spot (15°) to wide flood (65°) by simply turning the lens. Zoom spotlights are particularly suitable for illuminating areas with changing exhibits and merchandise.

Small luminaire dimensions

Small luminaires are discreet and place the focus on the light itself. Compact luminaire dimensions are particularly advantageous with small rooms.

Very good price performance ratio

The entry-level products offer an attractive price/performance ratio for lighting design tasks especially oriented towards cost-effectiveness. The luminaires of course meet high levels of energy efficiency and the basic requirements for visual comfort.

The versatility of Pollux, underwritten by its compact format, displays particular strengths in museums, shops, the catering industry or residential environments. As a special highlight, Pollux also includes contour spotlights with LED. Using the framing attachment, their sharp-edged beam can be adjusted to suit the format of images and objects in the room or on the wall.

Pollux: Light effect and planning aid

Emphasis of objects or architectural elements.

Spotlights

Very narrow to wide beam, rotationally symmetrical light distribution for accent lighting.

Light source
2W - 9.4W
192lm - 1107lm
Spotlights

Spotlights

Pollux spotlights accentuate artwork, products and architectural details effectively. The ideal angle of tilt (α) for this is around 30°. The object is modelled without distorting the effect as a result of excessive shadowing. It also prevents shadows cast by the observer.

Arrangement: α = 30°

Emphasis of objects or architectural elements.

Luminaire arrangement

Zoom spotlights

Manually adjustable round or oval light distribution for accenting to floodlighting.

Light source
6W - 9.4W
575lm - 1107lm
Zoom spotlights

Zoom spotlights

Zoom spotlights feature a continuously adjustable beam angle. With the spot to wide flood zoom range, smaller works of art can be accentuated effectively at an inclination angle (α) of approximately 30°. The oval zoom is suitable for linear works of art. The object is modelled without distorting the effect as a result of excessive shadowing. It also prevents shadows cast by the observer.

Arrangement: α = 30°

Projection of contours.

Contour spotlights

Optical system with lens for the projection of hard-edged beams or contours using a framing attachment.

Light source
6W - 9.4W
575lm - 1107lm
Contour spotlights

Contour spotlights

Spotlights with framing attachments enable freely settable, crisp-edged light beams. As a result fascinating effects can be created where pictures appear to illuminate from within. The ideal angle of tilt (α) is 30°.

Arrangement: α = 30°

Wide-beam illumination of larger objects or spatial zones.

Lighting technology
Luminaire arrangement

Floodlights

Very wide rotationally symmetrical or axially symmetrical light distribution for floodlighting.

Light source
6W - 9.4W
575lm - 1107lm
Floodlights

Floodlights

The ideal angle of tilt (α) for floodlighting objects with a long, square shape, e.g. pictures, sculptures or merchandise displays, is around 30°.

Arrangement: α = 30°

Vertical illuminance for brightening and dividing the space.

Lens wallwashers

Asymmetrical light distribution for highly uniform wallwashing.

Light source
6W - 9.4W
575lm - 1107lm
Lens wallwashers

Lens wallwashers

For uniform vertical illuminance, the distance (a) of Pollux lens wallwashers from the wall should be around one third of the room height (h). This results in an angle of tilt (α) of approx. 35°.

Arrangement: a = 1/3 x h or α = 35°

For good longitudinal uniformity, the spacing (d) of Pollux lens wallwashers may be up to 1.2 times the offset from the wall (a).

Arrangement: d ≤ 1.2 x a

The optimal wall offset and luminaire spacing for each product are indicated in the wallwasher tables in the catalogue and the product data sheets.
