Optics and Applications
Wall wash optics are designed to provide wide soft
illumination. Parallel units are designed to direct light
across the grid. Illuminating a wall running in line
with the TechZoneTM grid is possible with these models.
Perpendicular models direct light along the TechZoneTM
grid system and are appropriate for end of run situations.

Notes
1 Data by IES methods. Compact fluorescent data vary due to lamp lumen
differences, power input, burning position, ambient temperature and ballast
characteristics. A modification factor should be applied.
2 Above data measure output of the wall washers only. No contribution from
adjacent downlights or ceiling, floor or wall reflectances is included. Total
illumination on the wall increases with the contribution from other sources.
3 If colored trims are required, only the lens trim will be tinted. Primary and
kicker reflectors are always clear Alzak for maximum output and true color
rendition. Multipliers should be used to correct brightness and downlight
data only. Multiple units footcandles are correct as reported above.
4 Colored trim multipliers: Gold x .90, Wheat x .85, Pewter x .80, Black x .70.
5 Data are cosine corrected to the plane of the wall. Uncorrected data would
be substantially higher and depend upon the angle of incidence to the wall
which varies with mounting distance from the wall.
6 Kurt Versen wall washers minimize hard shadow lines at the ceiling. Intensity
increases gradually to just above eye level. The illuminated field is uniform
and devoid of hot spots, striations and spikes.
7 All data calculated with Softglow® clear trims and a frosted prismatic lens.
8 Brightness data from the Average Luminance Method are inaccurate for
downlights. They are theoretical calculations for large surfaces such as troffer
lenses. We recommend the stricter standard of Maximum Brightness Method
point data from direct photometer readings. They approximate what the
human eye perceives when evaluating glare.
