Softlight
Comfortable light, bright spacesComfortable lightETAP’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 spacesSoftlights 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 applicationSoftlights 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).

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.
Comfort and output reconciled
1 Light source: T5 eco-lamps or compact TC-L lamps.
2 Primary optics: perforated or diffuse shielding of the light source.
3 Secondary optics: side reflectors with highly reflective lacquer. The arched shape of the top reflector was designed to maximise reflection and to distribute light evenly in the space.
Primary optics
Perforated shielding• Lacquered sheet steel
Diffuse shielding• Polymethylmethacrylate
(PMMA) – satisfies glow wire test at 650°C.
• Polycarbonate (PC) – satisfies glow wire test at 960°.
• Average illuminance on the work surface: 522 lx• Specific power: 2,13W/m²/100 lx• Maintenance factor: 0,85• UGR: 25
Application: office with US01J1/413HFW

2 Primary optics: shielding of the light source
2A Microprism structure for low glare (UGR < 19 for offices)
2B Diffuser foil for good illumination of the optics, without the LEDs being visible
2C Diffuse, transparent side
3 Secondary optics: side reflectors with highly reflective lacquer
Light source: LEDs with two different colour temperatures: 3000K (warm white) or 4000K (cold white).
Diffuse shielding with microprism structure and MesoOptics™ foil• Polymethylmethacrylate
(PMMA) – satisfies glow wire test at 650°C.
• Polycarbonate (PC) – satisfies glow wire test at 960°.
• Average illuminance on the work surface: 552 lx• Specific power: 1,23W/m²/100 lx• Maintenance factor: 0,87• UGR: 19
Application: office with US01_LEDN35S
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.

RS 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.

Softlight
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.
