BEGA Vortex Optics®

Engineered for Optics

There are times when creating a rhythm of scallops on a wall, or pools of light on the floor, is the intended design approach. However, when a designer is looking to achieve uniform light on a plane, our innovative BEGA vortex optics® make this possible. As illustrated below, a typical wide beam downlight will create tall scallops on a wall, while a narrow beam downlight creates bright pools of light on the floor.

BEGA’s vortex downlight avoids creating scallops on the wall, and still achieves excellent uniformity at the ground plane. These optical properties are excellent for canopies and passageways, as well as wide open spaces such as atriums and lobbies.

The geometry of this reflector enables light to make contact with a larger portion of the reflective surface than a traditional parabolic reflector in combination with an LED source.

The depth and details of this reflector are suited perfectly for each diode, blocking direct views of the light source. This ingenious design balances high efficacy with superior optical control, while minimizing glare and eliminating shadows and artifacts in the distribution.

Various distribution types are available, including symmetric wide, narrow, and asymmetric.
