Product Features

Animated GIF of Hero's joystick directing light

Joystick Control

Rather than moving the entire luminaire, Hero’s joystick instead moves a series of reflectors to focus the beam of light along a huge range of motion.

Optical Ventriloquism

Hero is designed to vanish. In its recessed configuration, Hero can illuminate a subject without evidence of its light source.

Bimodal Design

Hero can be installed in two configurations: downward-facing or at an angle. This allows for spot illumination of wall-mounted pieces or floor-standing pieces.
