Lightheaded Lighting’s Contortionist Downlights Now at 2300 Lumens

January 3, 2019

Only Contortionist lets you bend light to your will, says Lightheaded Lighting. Contortionist, the company’s series of adjustable architectural recessed downlights, is now available in high-lumen packages up to 2300 lumens. These dual axis marvels of flexibility can tilt 40° and rotate 360° with zero light cutoff, which means that you can aim even more light precisely where you need it.

Engineered as a three-piece system, the trim, light engine, and housing configures to specific lighting needs. The light engine itself is defined by a trifecta of module choices yielding light suited for your interior environment.

The limber housing mechanisms allow for an adjustable tilt of 40°, locking into the set position. On the x-axis the housing allows for 362° rotation, also lockable. Both sets of adjustments are hot adjustable, allowing for direction light setting without the hassle of having to imagine what the end result will be. All the while the housing is set on a dual axis system, providing precise aiming without the worry of shift after installation and setting.

Clean aesthetics of the ultra thin flanged (2mm) die cast trim shield the intricate mechanisms. This allows for off-vertical rotating illumination within a 40° angle of view. A multitude of colour combinations, via a two-piece trim and reflector design, allow for the creation of a palette complimenting the surrounding interior environment. 

Coming soon: 3000 lumen packages.
