The new floor washlights are designed to provide safe lighting for traffic routes such as corridors and hallways or stairs. The reflector system produces a wide beam light distribution with a pleasantly soft progression of the illuminance gradient. Passers-by receive optimal orientation by way of the illuminated surface and the discreet illuminance of the satin-matt outer reflector. The reflector has a scratch-proof silver coating which ensures a lasting, high-quality appearance even in public areas. A safety glass in front of the inner reflector prevents the ingress of dust within the luminaire improving the luminaires maintenance factor. The mounting plate for double-sided use provides a choice between two types of mounting: the floor washlights can be mounted both with an overlapping recessed edge and absolutely flush with the wall. The lamps for the floor washlight range from low-voltage halogen lamps through efficient high-power LEDs to the powerful metal halide lamps.
