Wallwasher

Light

Wallwashers have a wide-beam characteristic. They are offered with an asymmetric light distribution.

Criteria for wallwashers
- choice of lamp determines light colour, brilliance, functional life, light intensity
- uniformity: optimised reflector for even illumination of areas
- gradient: soft edges to the beam
- light output ratio is increased by optimised reflector technology

Luminaires

Wallwashers (spotlights)

Wallwashers have an asymmetric light distribution for evenly illuminating wall faces. Track-mounted wallwashers allow the luminaire spacing to be flexibly adjusted as required.

Wallwashers, tiltable (spotlight)

Spotlights with wallwasher attachment feature a asymmetric light distribution for evenly illuminating wall surfaces. Track-mounted wallwashers allow the luminaire spacing to be flexibly adjusted as required. Wallwashers with kick-reflector have an asymmetric light distribution for evenly illuminating wall faces.

Luminaires

Washlights

Wallwashers have an asymmetric light distribution for evenly illuminating wall faces. In addition, they also feature a downlight component for evenly illuminating the floor.

Double-focus wallwashers

Double-focus wallwashers have an asymmetric light distribution for evenly illuminating wall faces. The shielding of the lamp provides high visual comfort and prevents the emission of spill light. The homogeneity of the wallwashing is particularly high.

Luminaires

Lens wallwashers

Lens wallwashers have an asymmetric light distribution for evenly illuminating wall faces. The lens serves to spread out the beam.

Wallwashers have an asymmetric light distribution for illuminating wall faces.

Luminaires

Perimeter luminaires

Perimeter luminaires with reflectors have an asymmetric light distribution for illuminating vertical surfaces. As a linear light source, they produce an even illumination of wall surfaces.

Arrangement

The offset from the wall for wallwashers should not be less than one third of the wall height. This corresponds to an angle of at least 20°. The optimal ratio of wall offset to luminaire spacing for avoiding evenly illumination is 1:1. Independent of the actual room height and offset from the wall, tiltable luminaires must be aligned on the lower part of the wall.

Applications

Wallwashing is an important component of architectural lighting for adding emphasis to room areas and for illuminating higher, vertical faces or wall areas for:
- museums
- exhibitions
- trade-fair stands
- auditoriums
- halls in public buildings and shopping malls
- sales areas
- presentational areas

Surface-mounted luminaires act as a feature in the room. They should correspond to the architecture in their arrangement and form.
