How do I aim them?
For an even wall wash, place them 0.5–1 m from the wall and aim at about 30° from vertical. For art, a narrow beam at around 30° avoids reflections on glass.
Beam angle
Narrow beams for accent lighting, medium beams for general use. The beam angle and, where published, the tilt range are on each product page.
Retail and galleries
Adjustable downlights let you re-aim the lighting when displays change, without moving the fittings.
