Description
LED VU1 Linear Luminaire – Slim Track Spotlight, Individually Tiltable
578 mm · black · 6000 K cool white · CRI > 80 · 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
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?
As standard the VU1 emits at 120°. This is a very wide angle that spreads light over a large area and provides even base brightness. Depending on ceiling height and task, narrower or special optics are available on request – here is an overview of what suits what:
- 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
The CRI > 80 version offers good, natural colour rendering with the best possible economy. At 160 lm/W you get a lot of light from every watt – ideal when large areas need to stay bright permanently and energy costs matter, for example in markets, warehouses, offices and workshops.
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 6000 K – cool white
Cool white light provides maximum brightness and contrast – proven in storage, production and high halls.
Black housing: luminous flux & look
Why does the black version state fewer lumens than the white one? The reason is purely optical: light hitting bright surfaces inside the housing is reflected outward with almost no loss. Dark surfaces, by contrast, absorb a share of the light. That share never leaves the luminaire and is missing from the lumen figure – efficacy in lm/W drops slightly as a result. The trade-off: the black look is more restrained, glares less and suits dark ceilings and premium store concepts perfectly.
Power steps & luminous flux
| Power step | Power | Luminous flux |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 (maximum) | 24 W | 3,840 lm |
| Step 2 | 20 W | 3,200 lm |
| Step 3 | 17 W | 2,720 lm |
| Step 4 (minimum) | 14 W | 2,240 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.
