Description
LED VU2 Linear Luminaire – Track Spotlight with Two Tiltable Wings
1500 mm · black · 5000 K daylight white · CRI > 90 · 30° × 90°
The LED VU2 linear luminaire is a track spotlight with two separately movable light wings. Both wings tilt independently by up to 30° – inwards, outwards or both in the same direction. A single luminaire can therefore cover opposite shelf rows or concentrate all of its light on one side. For controllable installations the luminaire is also available as a DALI-2 version on request. In this version it can be dimmed steplessly and integrated into a central lighting control system.

Two tiltable wings: one luminaire, many lighting effects
The two movable wings are the heart of this luminaire. Each wing tilts individually from 0° to 30°. In the base position light falls straight down and lights the aisle evenly. Tilt the wings in opposite directions and you cover a shelf row on the left and right – without installing a second row of luminaires. That saves fixtures, installation time and energy.
Beam angles: which one suits your application?
The beam angle determines how widely light leaves the luminaire. The VU2 comes with 30° × 90° as standard; a narrower version is available on request. Here is what distinguishes the two optics:
- 30° × 90° (standard) – a beam that is wide lengthwise and narrow across. Light spreads far along the luminaire while staying focused across it. Ideal for aisles, shelf rows and long sales areas: plenty of light on the goods, little spill into neighbouring zones.
- 30° × 30° (optional) – a narrow beam focused in both directions – comparable to a spotlight. It brings light down in a concentrated cone and suits high ceilings from about 4–5 m as well as targeted accents on individual products, displays or exhibits.
- Tilt 0° to 30° – regardless of the beam angle, each of the two wings can be tilted. This shifts the beam sideways without moving the luminaire itself – onto a shelf front instead of the aisle floor, for example.
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 continuous aisles the standard 30° × 90° 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 that are true
The colour rendering index describes how true colours look under a light source. At CRI > 90 the VU2 comes very close to daylight: fabrics show their real shade, wood and leather look warm rather than grey, food looks fresh. In boutiques, jewellers, bakeries and galleries this is often the difference between browsing and buying.
Long service life – L80 at 100,000 hours
L80 / 100,000 hours describes how the LEDs age. Only after this very long operating period does luminous flux drop below 80 % of the initial value – and even then the luminaire keeps working. For you that means no regular lamp changes, hardly any maintenance and a consistent lighting result over years.
High-quality LED chips by Sanan
The light quality of an LED luminaire stands or falls with the chip inside. The VU2 uses chips by Sanan Optoelectronics – a listed company founded in 2000 in Xiamen, China. Sanan is the country's largest LED chip manufacturer and one of the three largest worldwide; several hundred billion chips leave its plants each year, roughly half of China's entire output. What matters to you is the result: high efficacy, very tight colour tolerances (SDCM < 5) and slow degradation – every luminaire in a delivery shines equally bright and in the same colour.
Mounting & track compatibility
The VU2 is placed onto a 3-phase busbar using its adapter – insert, lock, done. No electrical work at the ceiling is required, and you can change the position and number of luminaires yourself at any time. The three phases (L1, L2, L3) let you switch several lighting groups separately, for example general lighting and shop window. The adapter is compatible with the common European systems Stucchi, Global, Staff, Unipro, Eutrac and Ivela as well as the EU universal standard. The luminaire is Safety Class I with protective earth.
Colour temperature 5000 K – daylight white
Daylight white light looks crisp and aids concentration – ideal for assembly, technical work, labs and inspection stations.
Why CRI > 90 delivers slightly fewer lumens
A look at the figures shows that the CRI 90 version is rated at fewer lumens than the CRI 80 one. There is a physical reason. Better colour rendering requires a broader spectrum containing more red. Our eyes, however, perceive red light more weakly than green or yellow, and the additional phosphor conversion costs energy. At the same wattage fewer lumens therefore come out – in return you get noticeably truer colours.
Black housing: luminous flux & look
The difference in luminous flux between a black and a white housing is not a quality issue but simply physics. Inside the luminaire light is redirected several times before it exits. White surfaces reflect almost completely, black ones absorb a share and convert it into heat. The result: slightly fewer lumens and marginally lower efficacy. If an unobtrusive, elegant appearance matters more to you than the last lumen, black is the right choice.
Power steps & luminous flux
| Power step | Power | Luminous flux |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 (maximum) | 60 W | 8,100 lm |
| Step 2 | 50 W | 6,750 lm |
| Step 3 | 42 W | 5,670 lm |
| Step 4 (minimum) | 34 W | 4,590 lm |
Power is selected directly at the luminaire via switch. This way you match brightness to the room without additional devices and save energy permanently.

Applications
Typical locations are shops, supermarkets, specialist stores, boutiques, showrooms, galleries, offices, workshops and exhibition areas. Because the two wings tilt independently, the luminaire adapts to different tasks: straight down for even aisles, spread outwards for shelf fronts left and right, swivelled together for an accented wall. If you change your layout, simply re-aim the light.
