    Wall Wash Optic Combats Light Distribution to Unintended Areas

    CSL Lighting, a division of Hudson Valley Lighting Group(HVLG) and manufacturer of high-performance, architecturally driven lighting solutions for commercial and residential spaces, has announced the debut of the Acrobat Wall Wash Optic System, its latest addition to the Acrobat Downlight product line. The innovative new technology goes beyond traditional track or downlights, delivering next-level precision in spotlighting art, sculptures, signage, and more. 

    The patented Wall Wash Optic offers new and improved advantages in combating light distribution to unintended areas by placing all of the light output onto the target, as well as a simplified user aim and adjustment experience with the LED module always aimed directly downwards. 

    Combined with the high-quality light source used across the entire Acrobat Downlight line, the Acrobat Wall Wash Optic is set to stand as one of the strongest solutions for wall wash on the market. Compared to alternatives on the market, the patented Wall Wash Optic offers new and improved advantages in combating light distribution to unintended areas by placing all of the light output onto the target, as well as a simplified user aim and adjustment experience with the LED module always aimed directly downwards. 

    The Wall Wash Optic’s installation process is also improved from its predecessor in that it easily pops into any standard Acrobat trim and converts into a wall wash trim, offering the end user the advantage of retrofitting with the wall wash fixture at any time after installation.

    The new system easily installs into any Standard (ST style) Acrobat reflector and can rotate to direct light easily, while a metal cover snaps in behind it to maintain a beautiful below-ceiling aesthetic. In addition, by pairing the Wall Wash Optic with the Acrobat adjustability, the user can produce a uniform wall wash with superior visual comfort for the viewer, completely blocking glare and eliminating harsh shadows on the illuminated surface.
