ZHIWER WW: Engineered for Visual Comfort and Architectural Integrity

The ZHIWER WW Luminaire is not merely a light source; it is a precisely engineered wallwasher that embodies FENOS’s commitment to superior optical control and seamless integration. Its shortlisting is a testament to its design philosophy, which focuses on enhancing the architecture without visually distracting the observer.

The Power of Zero Glare

At the heart of ZHIWER’s success is its commitment to creating environments of genuine visual comfort. By expertly concealing the LED source, the Luminaire casts a magnificent, high-quality light wash onto vertical surfaces that is completely glare-free. The effect is an ambiance of calmness, focusing attention on the texture and form of the space itself.

Precision Wall-Washing with RFO Optics

For the wallwasher version (WW), we utilize the RFO (Reflector for Optimized Light) optical system, a patented solution developed in partnership with the esteemed Bartenbach institute. This advanced technology ensures that the light is distributed with laser-like precision, blanketing the wall in a smooth, uniform curtain of illumination from floor to ceiling, eliminating disruptive shadows and hotspots.

Seamless Architectural Disappearance

ZHIWER WW is designed to blend into its environment effortlessly. Featuring a “Primer Color” exterior finish, the body of the Luminaire can be painted on-site to match the exact color of the ceiling. This crucial feature allows architects to achieve a truly monolithic ceiling design where the light fixture visually recedes, leaving behind only the pure, stunning effect of the light.

A Benchmark for the Future of Interior Lighting

Earning a place in the Light + Intelligent Building Middle East Awards Final is a clear indicator that ZHIWER WW is setting a new benchmark for performance and design in modern lighting solutions. FENOS remains dedicated to delivering products that fuse cutting-edge optical technology with uncompromising aesthetic quality.

We look forward to representing lighting innovation at the Dubai event and encourage our partners and clients to explore how the ZHIWER WW Luminaire can transform their next project.
