Soraa’s VIVID AR111 and GU10 lamps with the louver and Soraa’s 25° beam spreader SNAPs were selected by SMITH.TAIT to create the required effects, while giving the designers flexibility to nuance and adjust the lighting design on site.
SMITH.TAIT principal Rupert Tait said: “The architect’s vision for this project could only be achieved using Soraa’s lamps.
“Soraa’s lamps in combination with their snap accessories meant we could deliver a design well below budget, but still maintain the integrity of the architect’s vision.”
Universally compatible with all Soraa directional lamps and fixtures, the Soraa Snap System gives total control to colour and sculpt the perfect light.
