An oval beam shaper is an accessory that modifies the shape of the light beam emitted from a luminaire. While standard luminaires typically emit a round or symmetrical beam, an oval beam shaper reshapes the light into an elongated oval form. This alteration allows the light to spread more horizontally or vertically, depending on the installation orientation.
By adding this accessory to a luminaire, you gain greater control over the direction and shape of the light, allowing you to tailor the illumination to specific areas without increasing the number of luminaires.
How does an oval beam shaper work?
Oval beam shapers are designed to be easily integrated into certain luminaires. Once attached, they manipulate the optics of the luminaire by bending or directing the light rays into an oval pattern. This results in a longer, narrower beam that is perfect for illuminating wide or long surfaces.
At Light4U, we offer the oval beam shaper as an optional accessory for our luminaires, such as the Weda HE. This ensures that our lighting products can adapt to a wide range of applications, giving you flexibility in your design.
When should you use an oval beam shaper?
Oval beam shapers are especially useful in environments that require precise, elongated lighting. Here are some situations where an oval beam shaper can make a real difference:
Long corridors and hallways:
Lighting long, narrow spaces like corridors can be challenging. An oval beam shaper allows for even illumination across the entire length, reducing the need for multiple fixtures.
Product displays:
In retail environments, you want to highlight specific products without wasting light on unimportant areas. An oval beam shaper can direct the light precisely where it’s needed, enhancing product visibility.
Exhibitions and galleries:
When illuminating art or exhibition pieces that are wider than they are tall, an oval beam shaper ensures that the entire piece is lit evenly without spilling light onto adjacent areas.
Workspaces and conference rooms:
For task lighting over long tables or workstations, an oval beam shaper can provide targeted illumination that enhances visibility and productivity.
Key benefits of oval beam shapers.
• An oval beam shaper ensures that light is focused where it’s needed most, reducing unnecessary light spillage and improving energy efficiency.
• By elongating the light beam, oval beam shapers allow for wider coverage with fewer luminaires, saving on installation and maintenance costs.
• Oval beam shapers give you greater flexibility in directing light, making them perfect for applications where precise illumination is critical.
• Whether you need horizontal or vertical light spread, an oval beam shaper can be adjusted to suit the needs of your space, offering greater creative freedom in lighting design.
