Lightgap emphasises the tactile qualities of architectural materials. The grazing light wallwasher brings out the finest wood or concrete texture as exquisitely as rough surfaces such as natural stone, thereby enabling the luminaire to set off historic features or regional materials. In contrast to conventional wallwashers which give walls a soft character, Lightgap adds an almost tactile dimension through high-contrast light and shadow effects. With its asymmetrical light distribution, the grazing light wallwasher can be positioned up to 10cm close to the wall and still produce an exceptionally uniform beam. The luminaire can be tilted conveniently by up to 10° in both directions. The resulting special rendering of vertical illuminance combines strikingly illuminated texture for scenic effect with efficient room lighting for places such as restaurants and hotels.
