> MUSEUM LIGHTING: CLS FOCUS & TOPAZ

Illuminate your entire museum with one design form using the CLS Focus and Topaz Series. These series integrate seamlessly in any exhibition – versatile, elegant, and designed for museum perfection. 

> WHY ONE DESIGN FORM?

CLS designs its fixtures in close collaboration with leading museum lighting designers & technicians, architects, exhibition designers, CLS distributors, and users worldwide. In combination with the modular design, which allows for customization, this ensures a perfect fit for your exhibition design.

The CLS Focus and CLS Topaz Series combine aesthetics with functionality. The series are designed with a slightly curved back, for a sleek, discreet and elegant design. Both are available with a wide range of accessories, allowing the lighting output to be altered as desired.

> INNOVATED FOR PRESERVATION

Both series are also available with the new CLS Roto Dim control method.  This method once again emphasizes CLS’s position as an innovator and leading global player, by introducing a completely new way of dimming. It combines the ease and speed of an analogue potentiometer with the precision of digital dimming.

  • 0.1 Lux resolution
  • Endless rotation of the magnet
  • 0.01% lowest value

This method ensures a precise control of the max. Lux shone onto a work of art, for better preservation.
