Double-focus downlight

Double-focus wallwashers

Spotlight

In the case of elliptical reflectors the light radiated by a lamp located at the first focal point of the ellipse is reflected to the second focal point. The second focal point of the ellipse can be used as an imaginary, secondary light source.
Elliptical reflectors are used in recessed ceiling washlights to produce a light effect from the ceiling downwards. Elliptical reflectors are also ideal when the smallest possible ceiling opening is required for downlights. The second focal point will be an imaginary light source positioned at ceiling level; it is, however, also possible to control the light distribution and glare limitation by using an additional parabolic reflector.
