Grasshopper – Small and mighty

Grasshopper luminaires deliveraccent lighting, floodlightingand wallwashing for outdoorareasA prominent architectural detail,Grasshopper is designed forversatile use in the outdoorarea. Whether it’s accentuatinginformation signs and objects orfloodlighting trees or walls – youwill find the right light distributionfor every task. Their aluminiumhousing is exceptionally weather-resistant and can be mounted inany position.The luminaire head can be tiltedand rotated in any direction. Main-tenance-free optoelectronicsguarantee maximum efficiencyto save our resources and resultin lower operating costs. Precise

photometrics prevent spill light asa further eco-friendly factor.

ProjectorsNarrow spot, Spot, Flood

α

AccentuationThe ideal angle of tilt (y) foraccent lighting with Grasshop-per projectors is around 30°. Thisemphasises the three-dimen-sionality of architectural details,sculptures or trees, without dis-torting the spatial impression withexcessive shadowing.

Arrangement: y = 30°

FloodlightsWide flood, Extra wide flood, Ovalflood

α

WashlightingGrasshopper projectors ensureuniform floodlighting of long wallsurfaces, columns or trees. Theideal angle of tilt (y) for this isaround 30°

Arrangement: y = 30°

Lens wallwashersWallwash

γ

h

WallwashingUniform vertical illuminance inthe outdoor area defines spatialborders. Here, the distance (a) ofGrasshopper lens wallwashers fromthe wall should be around onethird of the room height (h). Thisresults in an angle of tilt (c) ofapprox. 55°.

Arrangement: a = 1/3 x h orc = 55°

For good longitudinal uniformity,the spacing (d) of Grasshopper lenswallwashers may be up to 1.2 timesthe offset from the wall (a).

Arrangement: d ≤ 1.2 x a

The optimal wall offset and lumin-aire spacing for each product areindicated in the wallwasher tablesin the catalogue and the productdata sheets.
