What are wall washers for?
Wall washers are luminaires designed to distribute light evenly across vertical surfaces. Unlike general downlights or spotlights that may cast harsh shadows, wall washers create soft, consistent illumination. This effect enhances textures, reveals materials, and highlights architectural details. The Dea Hestia M from Karizma Luce is a strong example of this type of lighting.
Downlight wall washers
Karizma Luce specialises in horizontal wallwash optics integrated into recessed downlights. These are ideal for residential and commercial interiors where clean ambience and visual balance are key. Options include Dea Hestia M, Dea Hestia S, and Dea Amata M AS. Installed in the ceiling and directed vertically along the wall, they provide smooth illumination from top to bottom without producing hotspots or fall-off zones.
The Dea Athena Hestia series is compatible with both trimless and trim frame mounting. Meanwhile, Dea Amata M AS introduces an elegant variation to the Dea Amata family, available in multiple reflector colours with the same cut-out size. Both models deliver adequate wall lighting in applications where design and performance go hand in hand.
Track-mounted wall washers
For projects that require flexibility, Karizma Luce also offers wall washers on track systems. The Caro AS is a track-mounted wallwasher designed for dynamic applications such as galleries or retail. Its adjustable orientation allows the light to be precisely directed, ideal for spotlighting zones or evenly brightening display areas.
Track-mounted versions are instrumental when the layout may change or when lighting scenes need to shift without major installation work. Caro AS blends adjustability with optical precision, offering consistent vertical light while maintaining a subtle form.
Where to use wall washers
Wall washers from Karizma Luce are suitable for a wide range of interior spaces, including galleries, showrooms, boutiques, restaurants, kitchens, museums, and hotels. By distributing light softly across walls, they enhance the perception of space, bring attention to materials, and create a refined, ambient atmosphere. Whether installed as downlights or on track, they are a valuable tool in architectural lighting design.
