THE INVISIBLE BLACK, IN A LINEAR SYSTEM Black Foster is the new Arkoslight product, which brings the acclaimed ‘The Invisible Black’ effect to a linear system. A lighting technological feature that allows Black Foster to hide the origin of the light while bathing the scene and generates a spectacular effect: light in space, with no visible source. BLACK FOSTE

THE SAME AESTHETICS, BOTH ON OR OFF By hiding the origin of the light, Black Foster manages to always keep the same look - turned on or off -. This creates an attractive psychological sensation in the spectator who perceives the light in the room, but he is surprised to see that the luminary is apparently off. BLACK FOSTER

A PERFECT DARK LINE The homogeneity of the dark line that is achieved throughout the course of Black Foster “Custom”, is an ally of visual order, neutrality and elegance in the design of spaces. With Black Foster the lighting becomes minimalist and non-invasive, the luminary thus passes unnoticed and abdicates the focus of attention. BLACK FOSTE

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE Consisted of combinable segments (with light emission and gaps), the modularity of Black Foster “Custom” gives a total compositional flexibility. Customer will be able to configure its own dark line and place on it the light emission freely as both types of segments are -almost- visually indistinguishable once installed. BLACK FOSTE

THE INVISIBLE BLACK & PROJECTION LIGHT Black Foster Custom integrates the track lights Plus, Six and Fit to combine the effect “Invisible Black” with projection lighting, while maintaining an elegant and discrete aesthetic. The track lights can be easily installed at any point of the system adapting themselves to the specific needs of each project. In addition to Plus Mini, Six S and Fit 35, the wide range of Arkoslight track lights is available under special order. BLACK FOSTE

LIGHT BEAM HYPERCONTROLLED Besides being an excellent luminary for the overall lighting function, Black Foster is a perfect element for lighting support or highlighting certain interior design elements as desired. Meanwhile in overall lighting it stands out for its low glare and high visual comfort, in highlighting function it benefits from its perfect controlled light beam which maximizes the LED light flow. BLACK FOSTER

VERY LOW GLARING The Black Foster technology reduces the glaring effect down to a very low level thanks to the high beam control, which concentrates the light rays so that they flow to the outside without hardly any deviations from the delimited angle. On the other hand, its anti-glare screen in ‘technical black’ finish absorbs the minimum losses and prevents the piece from shining or reflecting the light. BLACK FOSTE

VISUAL COMFORT, IN ITS UTMOST EXPRESSION The secret of a high visual comfort and the difficulty of a visual access at the source of Black Foster’s lighting lies in the high screening level achieved by the recessed position of the LED, the miniaturization of its reflector and the “technical black” finish of its screen. Black Foster’s cut-off angle (absolute visual comfort) is at 37˚ and the glare-free angle (no direct vision of the LED) is at 65˚. These values result in an index close to UGR 0 in almost any disposition. Therefore, Black Foster easily meets the UGR<19 requirement (the...

INTEGRATION IN ARCHITECTURE The masking of the origin of light is the technical characteristic that better helps the integration of a luminary in architecture, as its visual presence becomes significantly minored for the user of the space. Concerning Black Foster, the spectator will be only able to have a direct view of the source of light standing right under it. Perceiving any kind of light disturbance within the field of vision has been effectively restricted to a narrow range of angles. BLACK FOSTER

MINIATURIZATION AND AVANT-GARDE Within the design of Black Foster, the spirit of minimalist modern-architecture and the will of the finest integration of light in interior design; are faithfully represented. It’s reduced dimensions and its tactful presence conform the essence of this piece, enshrining in its small size, a technical vanguard of the latest generation. BLACK FOSTER

METALLIC GOLD FINISHING Arkoslight incorporates Metallic Gold into its color and finishings. These new color provides greater perceived quality, and transmits solidness, luxury, warmth and comfort. BLACK FOSTER

BLACK FOSTER MICRO 24V Black Foster Micro 24V for Minimal Track, the most compact downlight with ‘The Invisible Black’ effect. This linear luminaire has an excellent control of the light beam whose rays do not bathe the luminaire and are channelled directly to the exterior without touching the screen. Furthermore, its reduced design enables an absolutely perfect installation of the modules into systems. BLACK FOSTER MICRO 24V 5 BLACK FOSTE
