 Diffusers are still gaining in popularity. They pop up in all possible sectors and applications. Pleasant perception of space and easy maintenance are major factors in their success. But in terms of light performance they often do not score as well as reflectors.
ETAP’s UM series, which was recently expanded to include the UM2, breaks with that tradition.
MesoOptics™ for efficient diffusers
With the UM series, ETAP developed diffuser luminaires with never-before-seen efficiency, due, among others, to the MesoOptics™ foil, which lets through 92% of the light and ensures controlled light distribution. The full surface of the diffuser is evenly illuminated, without lamp images. Light performance exceeds that of traditional diffusers.
More light with fewer luminaires
With the UM2, ETAP goes one step further. The luminaires are not only equipped with MesoOptics™ technology, but are also fitted with internal reflectors, which limit internal reflections and reduce related light loss to an absolute minimum. They provide an even more clear-cut light distribution. This results in fewer luminaires being required to light a space
Minimalist design, perfect finish
ETAP paid a lot of attention to design and finish in the development of the UM2. The simple lines give the UM2 a highly contemporary look and feel. The luminaires are stylishly finished with edges in extruded aluminium, lacquered white . MesoOptics™ foil is placed on safety glass.
The latest product in the UM family can also be easily built into the ceiling, with its mounting depth of just 100 mm. The UM2 series is available in square and rectangular versions and can be fitted with integrated daylight control, emergency power supply units or air extraction.
