MINALOX Art Framing Projector
Light the
painting.
Not the wall.
Precision lighting that shapes itself to the artwork.
The art of light
Art deserves more than illumination.It deserves attention.
The right light reveals details, enhances atmosphere and allows each artwork to become the natural focal point of a space. Light shaped around the artwork. Less distraction beyond it.
Beyond conventional spotlighting
A spotlight draws a circle. Art is rarely round.
A conventional spotlight produces a beam that often extends beyond the artwork and onto the wall. The Art Framing Projector shapes the illuminated area to correspond more closely to the work.
The result is a cleaner composition, with less unwanted light on the surrounding surfaces.

Shape the light
Light shaped to fit the artwork.
Adjustable optical shutters allow the illuminated area to be shaped and aligned with the artwork. The achievable framing geometry depends on the optical system, installation position and adjustment range.

Zoomable optics
20°–35°
Distance and beam angle together decide how large the light field becomes. Zoom sets the size; the optical shutters then align the illuminated area with the work.
Estimated circular beam diameter
Geometric estimate before optical framing: diameter ≈ 2 × distance × tan(beam angle ÷ 2). Actual framed dimensions depend on the optical adjustment and installation.
The gallery experience
When the light is right, everything else disappears.
MINALOX 24 V DualWhite
One light, from candle-warm to neutral white.
The preferred MINALOX configuration. A 24 V DC framing projector with DualWhite colour temperature from 1800 to 4500 K, designed for MINALOX 24 V architectural lighting systems.
Colour temperature
Warm white. Rich and inviting.
The right colour temperature depends on the work, the room and the intended atmosphere; it is chosen per project, not by rule. The swatch is an on-screen approximation, not a photometric reproduction of the LED light.

Mounting
Made to belong to the architecture.
The preferred MINALOX solution operates on 24 V DC, offering flexible integration into architectural lighting projects. Mounting configurations are selected according to project requirements.
Compatibility with third-party track systems is not assumed.
Installation & application
The perfect light starts with the perfect position.
A starting point for architects and lighting designers. Plan the track or mounting position while the room is being designed.
Positioning planner
Artwork centre is limited to at least 0.6 m below the ceiling.
- Setback from wall d
- 0.75 m
- Throw distance
- 1.50 m
- Est. circular beam diameter, 20°–35°
- 0.53–0.95 m
Planning estimates for orientation. About 30° from vertical is a common starting point, not a mandatory angle. A calculated throw distance does not confirm that a particular artwork can be framed; the framing range is verified on site with the actual optics.
Positioning & distance
Position each projector so the artwork sits comfortably within the optical range at the chosen throw distance. Distance and beam angle set the size of the light field: estimated circular beam diameter ≈ 2 × distance × tan(beam angle ÷ 2). At 2 m, that is roughly 0.71 m at 20° and 1.26 m at 35°.
A geometric estimate before optical framing, measured across the beam axis. Actual framed dimensions depend on the optical adjustment and installation; on a wall hit at an angle the field is also stretched in the direction of aiming.
Mounting height & horizontal offset
Ceiling or track height defines the vertical drop to the artwork centre. Setback from the wall sets the aiming angle. A lateral offset adds keystone distortion that then has to be compensated with the optical shutters, within their adjustment range, so aim from in front of the work wherever possible.
Keep each projector accessible: final shutter and focus adjustment is done by hand at the luminaire.
Aiming angle
For wall-mounted artwork, about 30° from vertical is a commonly used starting point: setback d = (H − h) × tan 30°. With a 2.7–3.0 m ceiling and the artwork centre at 1.5 m, that is roughly 0.7–0.9 m from the wall.
Steeper aiming lengthens frame shadows and grazes texture; flatter aiming moves reflections towards the viewer. Adjust to the work, its surface and the viewing positions.
Artwork dimensions & framing
Width, height and proportion of each work define the light field. Zoom until the field slightly exceeds the artwork, use the optical shutters to align the illuminated area with the work, then adjust the optical focus to achieve the appropriate edge definition.
Glass & glossy surfaces
Protective glazing, varnish and glossy prints can reflect light towards viewers. Check from normal viewing positions and adjust angle or position to keep reflections out of the line of sight; anti-reflective glazing can help for critical works.
Final commissioning
- Position the luminaire.
- Aim towards the artwork.
- Adjust the optical beam.
- Shape the illuminated area.
- Adjust the optical focus to achieve the appropriate edge definition for the artwork and installation.
- Verify the result from normal viewing positions.
- Adjust intensity where supported.
A practical workflow under the room's final lighting conditions. It complements the installation instructions supplied with the product.
Other versions
Alongside the preferred 24 V DualWhite configuration, 230 V and DALI versions may be available for specific project requirements. Their specifications, mounting, dimming and control functions are confirmed per project and may differ from the 24 V version.
Artwork & light quality
What the eye notices first.
Colour rendering
CRI above 90 supports a faithful rendering of pigments, varnish and skin tones.
Colour temperature
DualWhite 1800–4500 K lets the light follow the palette of the work and the mood of the room.
Light intensity
Set relative to the room, evenly across the work: a modest level reads bright when the surroundings are calm.
Reflections
Glazing and glossy surfaces call for a considered angle, checked from where people stand.
Glare control
Position and aim so the lens stays out of view from normal viewing positions.
Artwork sensitivity
For sensitive works, plan illuminance, exposure and conservation requirements per project with the responsible specialist or conservator.
