LED VU1 linear light 30° adjustable 1438mm black 145lm CRI>90 4000K

LED VU1 Linear Luminaire – Slim Track Spotlight, Individually Tiltable

1438 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?

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.

CRI > 90: colours like daylight

With CRI > 90 the luminaire achieves colour rendering close to daylight. Reds, skin tones and fine material differences become visible instead of looking washed out. In boutiques, fashion stores, jewellers, bakeries and galleries this often decides a sale: goods that look natural and premium are more likely to be bought.

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

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

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 is selected directly at the luminaire via switch – so you match brightness to the room without additional devices and save energy permanently.

Technical data

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.
