'Cruz' control
Cruz is the name given by Thorn to a new range of technically advanced die-cast aluminium downlights, which are said to give class leading light outputs with great glare control.
It takes four major lamp types from 13W CFL to 150W HIT in 10 body sizes. Sources can be positioned either horizontally for general light distribution or vertically for a spotlight effect.
Designed for use in modern interiors, each fitting matches its counterpart in looks and there is a choice of three different bezels - white, chrome or grey. Fifteen sophisticated-looking attachments change or control Cruz's light distribution, ranging from the floating trumpet to an IP54 cover. A Gyro version is also offered for directional effects (0-60º).
Additionally, installation is made easy by a patented ‘sec-lock' holding arm, which retains the downlight - problem-free - in place. Fixing for the contractor is further aided by the availability of low height units for 100mm void depths and ‘plug and play' versions.
Digital dimming, with or without DALI, is available, as are emergency options.
