ETAP R8 – an energy saving halotube. „Form follows function“ was the design objective for this new, minimalist luminary. It is available as suspended, ceiling or wall mounted version, as single luminary or line system. All technical components are hidden from view. R8 forms a second surface around modern T5-lamps, making the contours of optical components disappear and avoiding sharp contrasts. State-of-the-art lighting technology using diffusers with transparent inclusion creates a diffuse light distribution. It combines ergonomic task lighting with a pleasing illumination of the room, resulting in a high LOR.
