ated by the normal, conical light pattern
when it intersects a wall.
The downlight/wall-washer looks identical

downlight. This makes it possible to use
downlights (without kickers) for general room
illumination and to then add downlight/wall-
washers adjacent to the walls, usually on
closer centers for uniformity of illumination.

Downlight/wall-wash luminaires are

available for incandescent A, tungsten-halo-

gen, compact fluorescent, mercury vapor,

metal halide, and HPS lamps. Variations of

(downlight/corner wall-washer), to light

opposite sides of a corridor (downlight/

double wall-washer), and to light the wall

next to a door without spilling through the
