Guard 132: Architectural LED Downlight

The Guard 132 Architectural LED Downlight series offers a versatile lighting solution for spaces that require precise, low-glare illumination.

Available in single, twin, and triple configurations, the Guard 132 delivers exceptional beam consistency with a sharp, defined cut-off, making it ideal for both accent and ambient lighting in architectural applications.

With its low-profile die-cast aluminum bezel in white (RAL 9003) and matt black darklight baffle (RAL 9005), the Guard 132 is designed to minimize glare and visual discomfort, while blending seamlessly into ceilings. The IP44-rated protective lens ensures durability and protection against moisture and dust, enhancing its versatility across a range of environments.

Powered by a Tridonic LED engine and driver, the Guard 132 offers outputs of up to 900 lumens with high efficiency, and the precision-molded 40-degree reflector ensures optimal light distribution. With a lifespan exceeding 55,000 hours (L90 / F10), the fixture is designed for long-term performance.

Thermal management is ensured by a thermally optimized die-cast heatsink, while safety features such as short circuit, overload, and temperature protection are built-in. Additionally, the Guard 132 offers a Casambi Bluetooth wireless network option for seamless control and dimming functionality.

Backed by a 5-year warranty, the Guard 132 Architectural LED Downlight provides a reliable and efficient lighting solution for modern architectural spaces where quality and control are essential.

Key Specifications:

  • Beam Angles: Standard 40° reflector; 20° narrow beam (/NB) available.
  • Finish Options: White bezel (RAL 9003), black bezel (/BK), or plaster-in bezel (/PI).
  • Emergency Lighting: EM conversion (/EM), self-test (/EMD), or DALI-integrated (/EMDI).

 

Lighting Design Applications

1. Office Environments
Deploy the 40° beam for uniform task lighting. Pair with DALI controls (/ECO) to adjust brightness based on daylight levels, reducing energy use by 30-50%.

2. Retail Displays
Use Ra90 LEDs (/9) to enhance product colors. Combine narrow beam (/NB) models (20°) to spotlight merchandise without glare.

3. Hospitality Spaces
Opt for 2700K (927) models in lobbies or restaurants for warm ambiance. The white softlight baffle (/WSB) reduces harsh shadows on walls.

4. Healthcare Facilities
IP44 lens protects against dust and moisture in washrooms. Integrate emergency lighting (/EMDI) for code-compliant safety.

5. Custom Installations
Choose plaster-in bezels (/PI) for seamless ceilings or black finishes (/BK) for contrast in modern interiors.

Advanced Customization

  • Wireless Dimming: Casambi (/BTC) enables app-based control for smart buildings.
  • High CRI: Add /9 suffix for Ra90 LEDs (ideal for museums or galleries).
  • Beam Control: Narrow 20° reflectors (/NB) for precision accent lighting.
  • Emergency Options: Self-testing DALI emergency (/EMDI) ensures compliance.

 

FAQs

Q: Is the Guard-132 suitable for outdoor use?
A: No—it’s rated IP44 for indoor damp locations (e.g., bathrooms, kitchens).

Q: Can I retrofit existing DALI systems?
A: Yes. The /ECO option supports DALI, SwitchDIM, or DSI without rewiring.

Q: What’s the difference between /EM and /EMDI?
A: /EM adds basic emergency lighting; /EMDI includes DALI self-testing and an integral indicator.

Q: Does the plaster-in bezel work with suspended ceilings?
A: Yes—/PI models fit into 81x81mm cut-outs for a flush finish.
