The Beta Cell is a sleek, recessed LED troffer luminaire designed to combine high performance with modern aesthetics, offering a compelling alternative to conventional flat panels. Its distinctive cellular construction features 36 recessed LED cells arranged in a 6 x 6 layout, each equipped with a prismatic primary lens that maximizes light output while controlling glare. This design ensures that the luminaire provides bright, uniform illumination without exposing individual LEDs, maintaining an elegant and refined appearance whether the fixture is on or off. With a choice of CRI 80 or high color rendering CRI 90 LEDs, Beta Cell delivers accurate and vibrant color representation, making it particularly suitable for office environments, educational institutions, and other professional spaces where visual comfort and high-quality lighting are essential.
Available in square formats of 600 x 600 mm and 625 x 625 mm, Beta Cell is compatible with standard modular ceiling grids. For added flexibility, mounting accessories allow it to be installed in plasterboard ceilings, surface-mounted, or suspended, providing a versatile solution for both new installations and refurbishment projects. The cellular design not only enhances aesthetics but also contributes to low-glare lighting, achieving a Unified Glare Rating (UGR) of less than 16 for the 3400-lumen version and less than 19 for the 4100-lumen variant. This makes the luminaire well-suited to workspaces where controlled lighting levels are critical for user comfort and productivity.
Beta Cell is offered with fixed output and DALI dimmable options, allowing for flexible lighting control in line with modern office and educational standards. Its high luminous efficacy of up to 133 lm/W, combined with a long operational life of 50,000 hours at L80, ensures energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements. The luminaire maintains performance across ambient temperatures ranging from –20 °C to 40 °C, with an IP40 rating from below and IK04 impact resistance, providing robust and reliable performance in a variety of indoor environments.
Constructed from white sheet steel close to RAL9003, with molded plastic LED cells and prismatic plastic optics, the Beta Cell combines durability with a contemporary finish. Installation is simplified with twist-and-lock wiring connectors to the LED driver, as well as a loop-in, loop-out terminal block with a screwless “piano key” design, ensuring a secure and efficient connection. The luminaire’s lightweight construction and user-focused mounting system make it particularly suitable for refurbishment projects, where ease of installation and minimal disruption are essential.
In summary, the Beta Cell offers a stylish and high-performing LED solution for professional interiors. Its cellular design, prismatic lenses, controlled glare, and high-quality color rendering provide a visually comfortable environment, while its flexible installation options, energy-efficient operation, and long lifespan make it a practical and cost-effective choice for offices, educational facilities, and other commercial spaces. The combination of form, function, and ease of installation ensures Beta Cell stands out as a sophisticated alternative to traditional recessed LED panels.
