Tesis IP68 In-ground luminaires
Tesis IP68 in-ground luminaires include more than the typical outdoor lighting design tools such as uplights, directional luminaires and wallwashers. In addition, Tesis IP68 also sets high standards in terms of visual comfort due to the extensive use of darklight reflector technology. The discreetly concealed light source in the ground produces a dramatic effect for ambitious lighting concepts. Façades and vegetation are enhanced by impressive scenic effects produced by the Tesis IP68. The selection of round or square housing forms makes it possible to select the luminaire shape in conformity with the architectural language. All luminaires are supplied with an electrical connection cable for efficient mounting.

Reflector technology
Focal wallwashers
The Tesis focal wallwasher produces a focal point on vertical surfaces. Its emphasis on the lower section provides accent lighting for the base of the building while ensuring a soft transition for washlighting of the remaining facade. The reflector lens system allows the beam to intersect with the wall slightly above the ground level.
Lens wallwashers
The Tesis lens wallwasher produces an exceptionally uniform brightness distribution on the facade. The Darklight technology ensures that neither the lamp nor the reflections in the reflector produce glare within a cut-off angle of 40°. Here, too, the reflector lens system allows the beam to intersect with the wall slightly above the ground level.
Wallwashers
The Tesis wallwasher ensures maximum uniformity on the walls. Its cut-off angle of 90° provides the basis for high visual comfort. In contrast to the ground-level recessed luminaires, part of the lighting technology of the Tesis wallwasher is above the ground level. The resulting special light distribution allows the beam to intersect with the facade directly above the ground. The reflector technology features an exceptionally high light output ratio.
Tesis adjustable uplights for precise grazing light on façades or objects - for minimised installation depth.
Uplights in darklight reflector technology for light which grazes the façades or illuminates the eaves of the building.
Tesis directional luminaires for accentuating architectural objects, shrubbery or building details.
Orientation luminaires for marking out routes and to identify architectural lines.
Producing diffusely lit areas on the ground, Tesis varychrome in-ground luminaires are genuine eye-catchers. They assume the task of directive lighting, for example by marking pathways or highlighting entrances.
Tesis adjustable uplights combine high visual comfort and a particularly shallow installation depth. To enable precisely placed grazing light on façades - despite any inaccuracy when installing in the ground - the uplights´ narrow light beam can be adjusted by a few degrees tilt.
The LED lens wallwashers in warm white and neutral white excel due to exceptionally high efficiency. Their long lifespan makes them the perfect lamp for low-maintenance operation in outdoor areas.
