Innovative, beautiful and reliable indirect
downlight with ultra-low glare
With a unified glare rating (UGR) as
low as <6, the new elegant indirect
downlight from Verbatim features
a unique design that emits light
indirectly by first directing it into the
reflector creating uniform and ultra-
low glare illumination. The actual light
source remains invisible for the eye of
the observer.
The luminaire has been designed
by German lighting designer
Arne Fiedler in collaboration with
Mitsubishi Chemical’s R&D team in
Japan and will primarily be used
for general lighting in all types of
indoor environments requiring visual
comfort and a low level of glare such
as offices, reception areas but also
corridors, foyers, hotels, restaurants,
display rooms and shops.
The design was taken from Verbatim’s
popular AR111 lamp which mimics
the lighting effect of a traditional
halogen QR111 lamp. It uses
superpolished aluminium for the
reflector maximizing light reflection
while decreasing optical loss.
Glare from lighting creates visual
discomfort and impairment of vision
which can have a negative effect on
productivity, especially in working
spaces where individuals are exposed
to artificial light for many hours a day.
Verbatim solves this problem by
providing perfectly controlled
luminance in accordance with DIN EN
12464 and even more with a UGR as
low as <6 (depending on the beam
angle), ensuring an exceptional visual
comfort.
The innovative and unique
heatsink provides excellent thermal
management by encouraging the heat
to dissipate more quickly, justifying

its long lifetime of 70,000 hours
(L80B10) and extended warranty of
five years. It provides energy savings
and is suitable for partially covered
installations with insulating materials
used in false ceilings.
The downlight appeals not only
through its performance but also
through its design, integrating
beautifully into the ceiling due to its
attractive appearance while delivering
a homogeneous illumination.
The chip-on-board LED technology,
which was selected by Mitsubishi
Chemical, offers a narrow binning of
McAdams step<3, which guarantees
a high level of colour consistency
with possible CCT variations being
too narrow to be distinguished by an
average human eye.
The Verbatim Indirect Downlight is
available in 8 versions: two beam
angles, a 40° version for general
lighting and a 25° version for accent
lighting. The downlight is available
in two different diameters (Ø155mm
and Ø 205mm) and two different
colour temperatures (3000K / warm
white, and 4000K / cool white).
The downlight is also IP40 rated
preventing ingress of insects and dust,
is flicker free and has a DALI option.
