This new product grants every lighting designer’s three wishes, just like the genie in Aladdin’s lamp. The first is light intensity: 1000 lumens in a round recess just 20 millimetres in diameter.

The second is aesthetic: fitted into a hole with no joins – and so seamless with the ceiling surface – Genius is such a tiny circle that it disappears when switched off, minimising the lighting point until it is virtually eliminated. The light source takes shape in a cone of light with a net volume.
The third wish granted is reliability: this new light is the only one to allow LED maintenance through a hole just 20 mm in size and thanks to a push-operated locking mechanism that allows LED extraction and immediate replacement. Genius can be fully inspected and offers access to worn parts without touching the ceiling, avoiding the need for remote inspection traps and allowing easy intervention, within the two-centimetre space limit. This totally recessed and disappearing light was designed for installation in plasterboard or brick ceilings and is produced in natural white AirCoral®. It can be customised via decoration with all types of plaster and paint according to designer needs and preferences.
