Description
Overview
Discovery Wall is the wall and ceiling version of Discovery, which won the Compasso d'Oro prize in 2018. Its volume is only perceived when it is switched on: the LEDs in the outer rim inject light into the central diffuser surface, and a patented optical solution gives a precise light output with visual comfort.
Build
The material is technopolymer and aluminium, for indoor use at IP20. It comes in three finishes, and its dimming is by push.
Overall size
The overall width is 742 mm and the depth is 80 mm. The ring is 704 mm in diameter, and the round wall plate is 190 mm in diameter.
Light output
The black version is rated 40 W and delivers 2857 lm at 3000 K, with 55% efficiency, 71.44 lm/W and CRI 90. Seven LEDs of 5.4 W and 648 lm each are included.
Story
