Description
LED VU1 Linear Luminaire – Slim Track Spotlight, Individually Tiltable
1438 mm · black housing · CRI > 80 · 120° · 3-phase track
With the LED VU1 linear luminaire you get a versatile track spotlight in a slim design. The standard 120° beam provides broad, even base brightness; in addition, each luminaire folds down and swivels individually from 0 to 30° sideways. You can adjust the light direction at any time without moving the luminaire along the track. For controllable installations the luminaire is also available in a DALI-2 version on request: it can then be dimmed steplessly and integrated into a central lighting control system.

Individually tiltable: light exactly where you need it
Individually tiltable means each luminaire can be folded down out of the track and then turned steplessly between 0° and 30° to the left or right. So you aim the light exactly where it is needed – at a shelf wall, a display or a workstation. This is especially handy when the interior changes: instead of rebuilding, you simply re-aim the luminaires.
Beam angles: which one suits your application?
The standard beam angle is 120°: wide, soft and ideal for general room lighting. If you want to use light more selectively, other lenses are optionally available. The following overview explains which angle best fits which purpose:
- 120° (standard) – very wide angle for even base light. First choice for normal ceiling heights up to about 4 m, for aisles, offices, sales rooms and workshops.
- 90° – slightly more focused than 120°. At the same height it puts more light on the floor and reduces stray light on the walls – good for aisles and shelf rows.
- 60° – medium angle for higher ceilings (approx. 4–6 m) or when a certain zone should be noticeably brighter than the rest of the room.
- 30° – narrow spot angle. Creates strong accents on individual products, displays or artworks and suits high ceilings because the light arrives concentrated below.
- 25° double (DS25°) – two narrow beams from one luminaire. Ideal when two opposite shelf sides of an aisle are to be lit at the same time.
- 25° asymmetric (L/R) – throws the light offset to the left or right. Perfect for wall shelves, wall pictures or window walls when the luminaire cannot hang directly in front.
- Opal cover 120° – a milky cover instead of a lens. The light is diffused softly and the luminous surface looks uniform – particularly low-glare for offices and anywhere soft light is desired.
As a rule of thumb: the higher the ceiling and the more targeted the light should be, the narrower the angle. For normal room heights and even brightness the standard 120° optic is the right choice.
Not sure which beam angle suits your room? Simply get in touch – we are happy to advise you and will find the right optic for your ceiling height and application together with you. The lenses for the different beam angles can be selected at no extra charge after consultation with us.
CRI > 80: bright and economical
CRI > 80 is the proven standard for sales and work areas: colours are rendered naturally while the luminaire runs very economically at a high 160 lm/W. This noticeably lowers operating costs when many luminaires run for long hours.
Long service life – L80 at 100,000 hours
What does L80 / 100,000 hours mean? Simply this: after 100,000 hours of operation the luminaire still delivers at least 80 % of its day-one brightness. At ten hours of use per day that is more than 27 years. Illumination therefore stays virtually constant for a very long time.
High-quality LED chips by Sanan
A word on the LED manufacturer: Sanan Optoelectronics from Xiamen is not a no-name supplier but the largest producer of LED chips in China and one of the leading ones worldwide. Since its foundation in 2000 the listed company has grown into a vertically integrated group that makes everything itself, from wafer to finished chip – which secures consistent quality across large volumes. This luminaire benefits directly: high efficiency, very tight colour tolerances (SDCM < 5), stable colour rendering and a long service life of L80 at 100,000 hours. Cheap LED chips save money at purchase – good ones save it over the entire service life.
Mounting & track compatibility
All you need for installation is a 3-phase busbar – the VU1 is placed with its adapter and locks in immediately. You can change the position and number of luminaires at any time, without electrical rework at the ceiling. Thanks to L1/L2/L3 phase selection you switch lighting groups separately. The luminaire is compatible with Stucchi, Global, Staff, Unipro, Eutrac, Ivela and the EU universal standard (Safety Class I).
Choose your colour temperature
- 3000 K warm white – the typical choice for hospitality, hotels, boutiques and reception areas.
- 4000 K neutral white – the all-rounder for sales rooms, boutiques, offices and exhibitions.
- 5000 K daylight white – ideal for assembly, technical work, labs and areas that require close inspection.
- 6000 K cool white – proven in storage, production and high halls.
This luminaire is available in four colour temperatures. Select the variant that suits your room when ordering.
Black housing: luminous flux & look
You may have noticed that the black-housing version states slightly fewer lumens than the white one. This is due to reflection inside: part of the LED light first hits the internal surfaces of housing and optic. White surfaces reflect this light almost completely and send it outward, while black surfaces absorb some of it and turn it into heat. That is why luminous flux and efficacy (lm/W) are somewhat lower in black. In return the black version glares less and blends discreetly into the ceiling – often exactly what shops and boutiques want.
Power steps & luminous flux
| Power step | Power | Luminous flux |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 (maximum) | 60 W | 9,600 lm |
| Step 2 | 50 W | 8,000 lm |
| Step 3 | 42 W | 6,720 lm |
| Step 4 (minimum) | 33 W | 5,280 lm |
Power is selected directly at the luminaire via switch – so you match brightness to the room without additional devices and save energy permanently.

Applications
The VU1 is a true all-rounder for interiors with a track system. In retail it lights sales floors and shelf aisles evenly and highlights individual merchandise areas with tilted luminaires. In the office it provides pleasant working light above desks and meeting islands. In galleries, exhibitions and showrooms the light can be flexibly aimed at changing exhibits. Corridors, reception areas, workshops and car dealerships also benefit from the mix of wide base light and individually tiltable luminaires.
