"Slot" is an architectural wall and ceiling lighting system, designed by David Chipperfield and manufactured by FontanaArte, featuring a series of recessed wall or ceiling lamps for indirect light emission, a matte white epoxy powder coated metal frame housing fluorescent dimmable bulbs. A cover, held in place by neodymium magnets, makes the fixture easy to assemble and maintain. Slot fits a dimmable electronic power supply (1-10V) and can be mounted with or without its housing (required for plasterboard false ceilings).DIMENSIONS: D. 3.74", W. 3.74", H. 59.45"For correct installation the lamp includes a 0.15"-slit on all 4 sides. Its lighting source is one × 35W (FL) G5 FH or one × 49W (FL) G5 FQ or one × 80W (FL) G5 FQ. The minimal design creates a lighting effect similar to a spotlight beam on a wall. This makes "Slot" especially suitable for private and public spaces that require non-invasive yet decorative lighting effects.
