A SWISS ARMY KNIFE
FORTIES
FORTIES is a new generation of lighting systems — slim, efficient, and remarkably adaptable. With its compact 45 mm profile, it seamlessly integrates into any architecture while delivering the technical sophistication and modularity expected in high-performance lighting design.
THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE OF LIGHT
__
FORTIES combines the best features of modern profile systems into one versatile and cohesive solution. Like a Swiss Army knife for lighting designers, FORTIES adapts to your creative intent with curved or linear profiles, different connectors, advanced optics, a wide range of spot and pendant inserts, and multiple mounting options — all unified by a minimalist design language. This intelligent modularity empowers designers to shape light both structurally and atmospherically, delivering tailored solutions for every architectural vision.
COMPACT DESIGN
__
With its sleek and compact design, measuring only 45mm in width and 76mm in height, FORTIES is the perfect luminaire for any setting. Its slim profile and minimalist aesthetic make it an ideal choice for spaces where style and space-saving are paramount.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
__
FORTIES is available as a surface-mounted or suspended system, offering flexibility for both ceiling-flush installations and floating architectural accents. A recessed version is currently in development.
THE FORTIES SYSTEM – A VERSATILE, MINIMALIST LIGHTING SYSTEM THAT EMPOWERS CREATIVES TO DESIGN THEIR OWN CREATIONS.
MODULAR SYSTEM – BUILT FOR ANY LAYOUT
__
FORTIES offers a system-based approach to architectural lighting, with modules that adapt to spatial conditions and design intentions alike. Whether you're working with linear corridors, fluid architectural forms or multidimensional room concepts, the modularity of FORTIES ensures seamless design continuity and maximum creative freedom.
STRAIGHT MODULES
__
Linear modules are available in lengths from 800 mm to 3000 mm, providing the foundation for structured, clean lighting lines. These elements support direct, indirect or combined light distribution, making them ideal for task areas, pathways or ambient zones.
CURVED MODULES
__
For more expressive or organic layouts, curved modules are available in 90° arcs (800–3100 mm) and 45° arcs (1300–5150 mm). These segments enable smooth transitions, dynamic compositions, or playful geometries. The light distribution can be chosen between direct or direct-indirect.
CONNECTORS
__
The system is complemented by L, T and X connectors, allowing light lines to branch, intersect, or change direction. These connectors ensure structural continuity and unlock three-dimensional design freedom across ceilings and walls.
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
__
At the heart of FORTIES lies the perfect balance between modular freedom and economic planning. The system blends the practicality of pre-assembled luminaire modules with the openness of empty profiles that can be filled with inserts of your choice. This makes it ideal for projects that demand both flexibility and cost-awareness — a solution that supports streamlined budgeting without limiting creativity.
VERSATILE INSERTS FOR UNIQUE DESIGNS
__
FORTIES is designed as a true all-rounder — supporting a wide range of light inserts that can be used to define both atmosphere and functionality:
PRECISION IN EVERY DETAIL
__
FORTIES is engineered for refined performance at every level. From carefully selected optics to configurable light distribution and seamless control integration, every component is designed to deliver lighting precision that meets the highest architectural standards. Whether you're crafting functional workspaces or atmospheric environments, FORTIES gives you the tools to tailor light exactly as intended.
LIGHTING OPTICS – TAILORED TO EVERY TASK
__
FORTIES offers a versatile range of optics for precise lighting control and visual comfort. Choose opal diffusers for soft, uniform light or the dedicated glare control optic to reduce visual strain in work environments. The microprism ensures maximum efficiency and light output. For a technical, high-contrast look with the best UGR values, select the raster optic. Dedicated wallwash optics — available in left, right, or double asymmetric versions — deliver precise and even illumination of vertical surfaces.
LIGHT DISTRIBUTION – FUNCTIONAL AND FLEXIBLE
__
Each module is available in multiple light distributions to suit a variety of architectural applications. Designers can choose between direct-only, indirect-only, or direct/indirect combinations, offering full control over how light interacts with the environment. This flexibility is especially valuable in spaces where mood, task, and ambient lighting must be precisely balanced.
CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES – SMART AND SEAMLESS
__
FORTIES supports a wide range of intelligent lighting control systems to meet the evolving needs of modern environments. Whether your project requires classic On/Off switching, DALI-based building automation, or the wireless solution Matter, FORTIES integrates seamlessly with your chosen control infrastructure. This makes it ideal for both centralized and user-adjustable installations.
Additionally, the FORTIES system brings ease and efficiency to the installation process. This streamlined approach significantly reduces installation time and cost — an advantage especially valuable for large-scale or time-sensitive projects.
1 SLIDE OUT POWER CONNECTION
__
With this established technology, you can easily slide out the power connection part, allowing for quick access to the power unit without dismounting the luminaire.
2 EASY ACCESS TO POWER UNIT
__
Once the slider part is pulled out, you have easy access to the power unit, making installation and maintenance a breeze. No need to dismantle the entire luminaire, saving you time and effort.
3 EFFORTLESS POWER CONNECTION
__
Connect the power feed and slide the power connection back to the profile effortlessly, ensuring a secure and reliable power connection.
4 HASSLE-FREE FINISH
__
Put the end cap on the profile, and you're done! This innovative concept makes installation extremely fast, saving you valuable time and effort.
