Description
LED VU1 Linear Luminaire – Slim Track Spotlight, Individually Tiltable
578 mm · black housing · CRI > 90 · 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
The luminaire is not fixed rigidly. It folds down and can then be tilted individually by up to 30° to the side. With one and the same luminaire you can either light a surface evenly or highlight a specific zone. If you rearrange the space later, you realign the light within seconds – no tools, no rebuilding.
Beam angles: which one suits your application?
Ex works the luminaire comes with a 120° optic – the classic angle for area lighting. For special requirements further beam angles are available on request. Here is what the individual versions do:
- 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 > 90: colours like daylight
CRI > 90 means colours appear as they truly are. A full red share in the spectrum makes textiles, food and decoration look vivid and appetising. Wherever colour fidelity counts – fashion, jewellery, cosmetics, delicatessen or exhibitions – this version is the right choice.
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
We deliberately rely on chips by Sanan as the light source. Sanan Optoelectronics was founded in Xiamen in 2000, is stock-listed and is regarded as the LED chip market leader in China as well as one of the three largest manufacturers worldwide. The company runs its own epitaxy and chip production, invests continuously in research and development and holds more than a thousand patents; its customers include well-known international lighting and technology brands. In practical terms this origin means: plenty of light per watt, precisely maintained colour temperatures and a service life that delivers on its promise even in continuous operation.
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.
Why CRI > 90 delivers slightly fewer lumens
The difference in luminous flux between CRI > 90 and CRI > 80 has a simple background: the better the colour rendering, the more complete the spectrum has to be. The increased red content, however, contributes less to measured brightness because the eye is less responsive there. Together with conversion losses this results in slightly fewer lumens per watt – a trade that pays off wherever colours must look exact.
Black housing: luminous flux & look
With a black housing the luminous flux is deliberately a little lower than with white – this is not a difference in quality but physics. Inside the luminaire, light is redirected several times before it exits. Bright surfaces reflect very well, dark surfaces absorb part of it and release it as heat. The result: slightly fewer lumens and marginally lower efficacy (lm/W). Anyone looking for an unobtrusive, low-glare appearance still makes the right choice with black.
Power steps & luminous flux
| Power step | Power | Luminous flux |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 (maximum) | 24 W | 3,480 lm |
| Step 2 | 20 W | 2,900 lm |
| Step 3 | 17 W | 2,465 lm |
| Step 4 (minimum) | 14 W | 2,030 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
Wherever a 3-phase track is in place, the VU1 shows its strengths: in shops and supermarkets for bright, even sales areas; in boutiques and showrooms to stage goods precisely; in offices and meeting rooms as comfortable working light; in galleries and exhibition halls, because the light can be realigned with every rebuild. In corridors, reception areas and workshops it is an uncomplicated solution too.
