ARC THINKING, a new way of thinking about light

Can light be conceived as architecture
and come from a project idea
rather than mere technology?

Coming from an approach based on developing a product according to a project, ARC THINKING not only offers the widest range of recessed projectors available on the market, but also and above all, a new way of thinking about light.
The new professional ARC and MINIARC light fixtures were designed to offer architects and lighting designers an extremely flexible design tool: each of the 82 versions available respond to a specific design specification.
The choice to use three different finishes for each model, a wide range of sources and an impressive variety of professional optics (many of which come from specially developed patents) come from the desire to guarantee an exact response to any type of application requirement and architectural concept. Basically, each product produces an exact effect. Accent lights for highlighting, general lights for distributing light evenly, lights for increasing the depth or height of the architectural space, and lights specifically designed for large areas: ARC THINKING provides endless ways of thinking about light.
These fixtures can be used with a large variety of sources, from traditional discharge sources to metallic iodide and halogen sources through to the most powerful and innovative LEDs, which – thanks also to the excellent chromatic quality, elevated thermal control and use of an optic system patented by Targetti – can finally be integrated into more sophisticated and evolved architectural lighting.
As for the optics, ARC and MINIARC offer an excellent quantity of sophisticated solutions, which perfectly control the light beam by the use of holographic filters, spill-rings and new reflectors. These last items include innovative EMR optics (Elliptical Mirror Reflectors) which combine elevated performance and excellent light uniformity. Their special shape allows managing the reflection of light in all directions.
In order to fit perfectly into any type of architectural context, the entire range is available in three different finishes: the classic finish with visible ring is now joined by the trimless finish (without ring) and the krypton version, which was specifically designed to become one with the plaster false ceilings.
Just as important for design purposes is the wide range of sizes of the ARC and MINIARC fixtures. The MINIARC fixtures have a diameter of only 114 mm.
