Comfortable light
ETAP’s softlight luminaires shield the light source and mainly allow the light into the space
through secondary optics, which prevents direct view and glare. Especially in LEDs this
contributes significantly to visual comfort.
Bright spaces
Softlights create clearly lit spaces: they evenly illuminate walls and ceilings – no shadows,
dark spots or outline between lit and unlit areas. The soft light is discreetly present in the
space and provides your interior with character.
Wide field of application
Softlights provide, comfortable lighting in offices, conference rooms, stores, care homes,
hospitals, schools, etc. They contribute to a pleasant and warm atmosphere in workspaces,
reception rooms, corridors and stairwells.
The extensive ETAP range ensures that you can apply the softlight principle everywhere in
your buildings. You can choose from recessed,
surface-mounted and wall-mounted versions, several shapes
(square or linear), dimensions and light sources
(fluorescent or LED).

Comfort and output reconciled
ETAP softlights combine the best of both worlds. They obviously offer the
natural lighting comfort for which softlights are known. But at the same time,
they achieve the impossible with their sophisticated photometrics in terms of
energy-efficiency.

•Polymethylmethacrylate
(PMMA) – satisfies glow wire

• Polycarbonate (PC) – satisfies

The combination of the microprism structure and MesoOptics™ foil
contribute to low glare (UGR < 19), which makes them suitable for
office lighting. A high-output version with UGR < 22 is available for
applications that require high lumen packages. The high luminaire
efficiency and maintenance factor (97% LLMF after 50.000 burning
hours) result in never-before-seen performance for softlights.

US
Recessed
Easy installation in any ceiling.
The US recessed series consists of square (600 x 600 mm) or linear (300 x 1200 mm) luminaires and comes in
three mounting depths: 120, 80 and 40 mm. The luminaires were designed for easy installation in suspended
ceilings. An adjusted mounting frame is available for plasterboard ceilings.
The US recessed luminaires can be easily installed in a suspended ceiling by placing them on the profiles.

Surface-mounted
For ceilings that do not allow for recessing, ETAP offers a surface-mounted version of its
softlight luminaires, which combines the optics of the recessed version with a floating
frame. Installation is a cinch thanks to a supplied bracket on which the luminaire is mounted.
Surface-mounted luminaires are only available in square version.

Wall luminaires
With the WS wall luminaires you can also extend the softlight style to your accent lighting.
The wall luminaires illuminate the wall on which they are mounted, which makes the latter
act as secondary optics. The luminaires are available in three different lengths – 310, 505
and 1250 mm – for a fitting solution for every wall. Wall luminaires are only available with
perforated lamp shielding.
