5.8.1. Reflector design
The mechanical and optical properties of the modules of the Engine SLE G6 system offer the best conditions for using reflectors. The
new design of the SLE G6 housing with its recesses allows for a quick and easy connection of the reflectors via snap-on. The overall
efficiency of the system can be optimised by choosing a reflector that directs the light appropriately.
The optical properties (e.g. beam angle) and the dimensions of the reflector play a crucial role:
The overall height of the luminaire can be reduced by selecting a low-profile reflector, depending on the beam angle required. This
may improve the thermal output of the luminaire by increasing the height available for the heat sink.
Using a reflector can guarantee a uniform illumination and that the colours are mixed properly. Some reflectors have the option of
faceting for the reflector wall.
Reflector installation
SLE G6 and reflector are connected securely via snap-on. The housing of the SLE G6 has two lateral recesses (see image above),
compatible reflectors have matching knobs. Compatible reflectors are listed on the product page of the module.
If you want to use a reflector which is not compatible with the SLE G6 housing, you can alternatively use an adapter for the connection
of the reflector. The adapter is mounted on the housing of the SLE G6 module.
We recommend the adapter from TE connectivity with article number 2213194-1. The adapter can be ordered from
.

Distribution via Tridonic is not possible.

CAUTION!
Make sure that your reflector is compatible with the adapter.
