ALDL1701 STAR Series – 1W/2W Selectable Power | Ø40mm Cutout | CRI≥92 | IP67 Rated | Multi-Directional Output | Ideal for Staircases, Corridors & Wall Accents | For Architects & Interior Designers

The ALDL1701 STAR Series is a pioneering multi-directional recessed wall light engineered to eliminate harsh shadows and deliver exceptionally uniform ambient illumination. Its core design principle—emitting light in multiple directions—makes it the ideal solution for staircases, corridors, and accent walls where visual comfort and seamless light distribution are critical.

Featuring a superior Color Rendering Index (CRI) of ≥92, it reveals colors with exceptional accuracy and vibrancy, surpassing standard industry benchmarks. The fixture offers selectable power (1W or 2W) to tailor brightness to the application, from subtle guidance to pronounced ambient lighting. With a compact Ø40mm cutout and a robust IP67 rating, it installs discreetly and operates reliably in both interior and protected exterior environments like covered entries or balcony walls. This light is specified by architects and interior designers seeking to integrate high-performance, glare-reducing illumination directly into the architectural fabric.

FAQ Block:

Q: What is the required cutout size for installation?
A: The installation requires a Ø40mm (approximately 1.57 inches) cutout for a clean, flush finish.

Q: Is the IP67 rating suitable for bathroom or outdoor stair use?
A: Yes. The IP67 rating certifies that the fixture is completely dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep. This makes it suitable for bathrooms, outdoor stair risers under eaves, and other damp locations.

Q: What makes the "multi-directional" light output special?
A: Unlike standard downlights, the multi-directional design emits light at multiple angles from a single point. This creates a soft, diffuse glow that washes adjacent surfaces evenly, dramatically reducing harsh shadows and eye-straining contrast—perfect for safe stair navigation and comfortable corridor lighting.

Q: What is the Color Rendering Index (CRI), and why is ≥92 significant?
A: CRI measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects. A CRI of ≥92 (Ra92) is considered excellent, ensuring that interior finishes, artwork, and surroundings look vibrant and natural. This is a key specification for high-end architectural projects.

Q: What power options are available?
A: You can select between 1W (80 lumens) for low-level ambient/guidance lighting or 2W (160 lumens) for brighter, more pronounced wall washing and illumination tasks.
