The cells of the hexagonal louver minimize perceived lamp brightness and shield the light source. Commonly used in conjunction with a colored or dichroic filter for entertainment lighting applications, or those requiring diffusion.
Abrisa Technologies carries stock inventory of MR 11 (1.370”) diameter and MR16 (1.965”) diameter louvers which have a thickness of 3mm. Custom sizes can be ordered.
The hexagonal louvers are made from a low density, high strength material originally used for structural use in the aircraft industry. Hexagonal louvers can be fabricated to nearly any shape or size. The MR11 and MR16 louvers provide 45 degree cut-off. Custom cut-off requirements are available. The louvers can withstand temperatures up to 350ºF.
