Arculus Linear
The Arculus Linear range was developed to address the specific needs of secure health environments, offering ligature-resistant light fittings available in both recessed and surface-mounted versions. The design journey was guided by a deep understanding of safety, functionality, and aesthetic requirements, ensuring the products meet rigorous standards for secure healthcare and custodial settings.
Thoughtful Design for Safety and Functionality
The Arculus Linear features an opal polycarbonate diffuser that delivers a soft, evenly lit appearance while providing sufficient functional light for tasks. The discreet, side-mounted tamperproof fixings contribute to a clean, unobtrusive aesthetic that complements the environment.
Arculus Linear features a new hinging mechanism for ease of installation, whilst still maintaining the ligature resistance rating require for secure health applications. This new feature means that the luminaire can be installed and also removed for maintenance by removing just 3 screws.
