An aluminium body, characterized by alternating
vertical and horizontal elements, accommodates
the LED.
The horizontal bands work as optical sectors,
appropriately calibrated vs. each other.
The intertwined vertical and horizontal elements
are the result of accurate optical and technological
feasibility research for die casting production. They
also promote air circulation when the appliance is
arranged both vertically and horizontally, and allow
natural ventilation by convection in all possible
usage configurations.
Calibration of this structure, in both the small
and large version, results into optimal optical
darklighting and downlighting performance, thus
ensuring high visual comfort.
A small-sized mixing chamber ensures the
controlled direct emission of light rays.
The optical performance of its mechanical surfaces
is a direct result of the production process, which
includes the optional finishing of surfaces either
with subsequent processing (dressing) or with
white painting.
The white version, with wide-aperture beams, is
suited for soft downlighting. The diffusing power
of the white surfaces ensures minimal leaking
of light emission from within the mesh to give a
luminous footprint to the body.
