Cini&Nils presents Luta Bettonica’s new design for indoors, a suspension dimmerable dimmable LED lamp named Acqua, for direct and indirect lighting.
Designed both in uplight and downlight version, the lighting body can project the light upwards or downwards. The uplight version with indirect light provides an extraordinary aesthetic effect and a soft light ideal to create an elegant atmosphere in living spaces, showrooms, hotels and restaurants.
The downlight version directs the light to the underlying space and for this reason it is perfect as an over-table solution, by maintaining the aesthetic effect.
Acqua lamp is equipped of a dimmer, favouring a soft play of light in domestic spaces.
A fast handy snap-in system, with two bayonet connectors, enables individual elements not only to be linked together, but to add or move the lighting bodies, giving rise to an endless array of structural and lighting layouts mixing bodies uplight with downlights.
The luminous effect generated when these individual luminaires are assembled together is quite fascinating.
The ceiling rose is designed to be used alone or in series, is provided with one, two or three ultra-low voltage cables, fitted with micro adjustements for calibrating the height and the direction of every row, so as to point the light both from the front and from the rear.
If the luminaire is needed at a point that does not correspond directly with the point of installation, you can choose either the “remote rose” and “cable track” accessories or a relocated installation version. The lighting body is also sold singly to expand the composition.
The lighting body is available with a standard colour rendering index (CRI) ≥ 80 and, in addition, with a CRI = 95. Comprises a pair of die-cast aluminium shells painted white that house the chip-on-board LED (5,6W | 650 lumen | 2.800K | CRI>=80 or 5,6W | 520 lumen | 2.800K | CRI=95).
