Description
LED VU1 Linear Luminaire – Slim Track Spotlight, Individually Tiltable
1438 mm · black · 3000 K warm white · CRI > 90 · 120°
The LED VU1 linear luminaire is a slim linear spotlight for the 3-phase track. With a 120° beam it delivers soft, wide-area light, and it can be folded down and tilted individually by up to 30° to the left or right. That way you light surfaces evenly and aim the light at shelves, goods or walls whenever needed. 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
Every VU1 folds out and swivels individually 0–30° to the left or right. The everyday benefit: you light shelf fronts, display tables or wall surfaces precisely without installing extra spotlights. Since each luminaire is adjustable on its own, you can combine even base light and pronounced accents on a single track.
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 > 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
Who is behind the LEDs? The light sources in this luminaire come from Sanan Optoelectronics – a listed company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Xiamen, China. Sanan is China's largest LED chip manufacturer and ranks among the world's top suppliers in the industry. The company produces several hundred billion LED chips per year, covering roughly half of China's entire output. Why this matters to you: a manufacturer of this scale does not produce by chance but with strict quality control and very tight production tolerances. The result is chips with high efficacy, precise colour temperature (SDCM < 5) and low degradation – luminaires from one batch shine equally bright and equally coloured, even years later.
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 3000 K – warm white
Warm white light feels cosy and inviting – the typical choice for hospitality, hotels, boutiques and reception areas.
Why CRI > 90 delivers slightly fewer lumens
You may wonder why the CRI > 90 version delivers fewer lumens than the CRI > 80 version. For very good colour rendering the LED needs a fuller light spectrum – above all with more red content. Yet the human eye is less sensitive in this red range, and the additional phosphor conversion costs some energy. At the same wattage, therefore, slightly fewer lumens come out. In return you get noticeably more natural colours.
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 | 8,700 lm |
| Step 2 | 50 W | 7,250 lm |
| Step 3 | 42 W | 6,090 lm |
| Step 4 (minimum) | 33 W | 4,785 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.
