Built on the success of Hafele’s Loox Range, this new series offers low Unified Glare Rating (UGR) for visual comfort and includes an IP65-rated fixture suited for humid conditions, with strong resistance to water, dust and debris.

With plug-and-play installation, flexible ordering and customisable finishes, Hafele reinforces its positioning as a comprehensive lighting solutions partner, extending innovation beyond furniture hardware to integrated lighting systems.
