Description
LED VU1 Linear Luminaire – Slim Track Spotlight, Individually Tiltable
1152 mm · black · 4000 K neutral white · CRI > 90 · 120°
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?
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
For the highest demands on colour fidelity: CRI > 90 also reveals subtle nuances that simpler light sources swallow. Clothing does not look faded, wood and leather keep their warm tone, food looks fresh. That makes this version ideal for shops, showrooms and display areas.
Long service life – L80 at 100,000 hours
L80 at 100,000 hours is a hallmark of durability: only after this very long operating period does brightness fall below 80 % of the initial value. For you that means fewer replacements, less maintenance and a consistent lighting result over many years.
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
The VU1 is fitted directly into the busbar using a 3-phase adapter – no drilling, no cable routing. The three phases (L1, L2, L3) let you switch several lighting groups on the same track separately, for example general light and window light. The adapter fits the common European track systems: Stucchi, Global, Staff, Unipro, Eutrac, Ivela and the EU universal standard. The luminaire is Safety Class I with protective earth.
Colour temperature 4000 K – neutral white
Neutral white light is businesslike and friendly at once – the all-rounder for sales rooms, boutiques, offices and exhibitions.
Why CRI > 90 delivers slightly fewer lumens
Fewer lumens at CRI > 90 – why? Higher colour rendering comes from a broader spectrum with a stronger red share. The eye perceives red light more weakly than green or yellow, and the necessary phosphor conversion causes extra losses. Together these slightly reduce measured luminous flux and efficacy (lm/W). The gain: colours, fabrics and materials look exactly as they really are.
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) | 48 W | 6,960 lm |
| Step 2 | 40 W | 5,800 lm |
| Step 3 | 34 W | 4,930 lm |
| Step 4 (minimum) | 27 W | 3,915 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
Typical locations are shops, boutiques, supermarkets, showrooms, galleries, offices, conference rooms, corridors and reception areas as well as workshops and exhibition halls. Because the luminaire simply clicks onto the track, the lighting can change along with the room – new shelves, new ranges or a new layout mean no electrical rework, just repositioning and re-aiming the luminaires.
