Architectural wall lighting

Choose the wall-wash fitting around the ceiling detail

An asymmetric wall washer directs light toward the vertical plane rather than treating it as a general downlight. The fitting, optic, ceiling interface, controls and protection level should be considered together before a final arrangement is confirmed.

Edge and Wave provide compact 85 mm recessed choices. Aspect extends the range where a higher published output, IP54 or IP65 protection, or a documented bezel accessory is required.

Specification guidance

Coordinate the wall wash with the ceiling build-up

Use the documented product options to form a useful enquiry brief before the final photometric and installation checks.

Distribution and optic

Edge, Wave and Aspect are asymmetric recessed fittings. Wave adds a standard 40 degree reflector with a 20 degree narrow reflector option.

Ceiling interface

Wave has documented plaster-in and tiltable options. Confirm the ceiling construction and fitting position before selection.

Protection and accessories

Wave has an IP44 protective lens. Aspect is available with IP54 or IP65 positions and documented clear or opal bezel accessories.

Controls and emergency

All three families have documented dimming, DALI and Casambi routes. Emergency options vary by product and should be selected with the project requirement.

Wall washer downlight FAQs

Questions for a recessed wall-wash brief

What is an asymmetric wall washer downlight?

An asymmetric wall washer is a recessed fitting with a distribution intended to direct light toward a vertical plane. The final result depends on the product photometry and its checked position within the project.

Which range is suitable for a compact wall washer?

Edge 131 and Wave 133 are compact 85 mm recessed options. Edge is described as an architectural wall washer; Wave adds documented ceiling and optic options.

Can Wave be specified with a different ceiling detail?

Wave has documented plaster-in and tiltable options, as well as a 20 degree narrow reflector option. Confirm the ceiling build-up before final selection.

When should Aspect be considered?

Aspect has the higher published output range and documented IP54, IP65 and bezel accessory positions, making it a useful family to consider for wall-wash, accent or perimeter lighting requirements.

Which control options are available?

Edge and Wave have MDIM, ECO and Casambi options. Aspect has TouchDIM, DALI and Casambi options. The exact control route should be coordinated with the project control design.

Are emergency options available?

Each family has documented emergency options. Edge, Wave and Aspect each list manual, self-test or DALI variants, with integral indicator positions available where documented.
