We underwent a stringent prototyping and sampling phase before finalising this impressive equipment. The custom Puppis 2K downlights included an integrated driver, anti-vibration pattress, stepless fade-to-warm dimming, and world-leading colour rendering. The product’s finish received the same level of detail, delivered in a unique Pearl Beige RAL to match the deckhead.
