The key innovation lies in its floating wall-washing effect, which projects a broad, upward glow that adds depth and dimension to any room. When mounted horizontally, the lighting creates a visual lift, bringing ceilings to life and transforming flat surfaces into luminous skylines. It covers a ceiling-washing area of at least six square meters, delivering expansive and immersive illumination.
