Recessed floor luminaires

Light

Recessed floor luminaires emit their beam upwards. They are offered with narrow-beamed, wide-beamed, symmetric or asymmetric light distribution.

Criteria for recessed floor luminaires:
- choice of lamp determines light colour, functional life, efficiency, light intensity
- uniformity with wallwashers: optimised reflector for even illumination of areas
- range of tilt for directional luminaires with high glare protection
- light output ratio is increased by optimised reflector technology

Recessed floor luminaires

Luminaires

Uplights

Uplights feature an upwards directed beam with symmetrical light distribution. The narrow, rotationally symmetrical beam is used for highlighting objects.

Lens wallwashers

Lens wallwashers feature an upwards directed beam with asymmetrical light distribution. They provide an even illumination of walls.

Luminaires

Directional uplights

Directional luminaires provide highlighting for individual areas or objects with a medium to narrow light distribution. The beam can be titled.

Uplight, diffuse

Recessed floor luminaires with diffuse light intensity distribution are used for marking paths or emphasising architectural lines.

Applications

Accent lighting or floodlighting for
- facades
- entrance areas
- arcades
- passages
- atria
- overhanging or cantilevered roofs
- park and garden complexes

Recessed floor luminaires are inconspicuous architectural details. They should correspond to the architecture in their arrangement and form.
