Frequently asked questions

What is the Iris bulkhead and where is it used?

Iris is a surface mounted luminaire with subtle architectural styling, designed for decorative interior and exterior applications such as apartment corridors and communal circulation spaces. It has been installed at Hallam Tower Apartments in Sheffield, demonstrating its use in residential settings. Its cast aluminium body and opal diffuser give it a more refined appearance than a purely functional bulkhead.

Does Iris support self-test emergency lighting?

Yes, alongside a standard integral emergency option, Iris can be specified with a Z10 remote control integral emergency version, which supports manual or automatic self-testing. This is useful on projects where facilities teams need to verify emergency lighting is functioning without manually testing each fitting on site, simplifying ongoing compliance checks in communal areas.

What finish options does Iris offer, and does the eyelid version change performance?

Iris is available in black or grey body finishes, and can be specified with or without an eyelid bezel depending on the level of glare control needed. The open version delivers a higher efficacy of around 101 lumens per watt, while the eyelid version reduces this slightly to around 86 lumens per watt in exchange for a softer, less glary appearance. This lets specifiers balance light output against visual comfort in each space.

What should I know about installing Iris?

Iris is ceiling or wall mounted with side conduit cable entry, which keeps wiring routes tidy on both new build and refurbishment projects. At 2.40kg, it is light enough for straightforward first fix in corridors and stairwells. Its integral driver simplifies the electrical connection compared with fittings that need a separate remote gear tray.

What wattage options does Iris come in?

Iris is available in 18W or 22W versions, giving specifiers a choice of output depending on the size and brightness needed for a corridor or communal area. Both versions run at 4000K, keeping the colour temperature consistent across a project regardless of which wattage is chosen. This makes it easy to match light levels to different sized spaces while keeping a uniform appearance.
