Square reflector moulded in one piece
The geometric lines of this model are continued consistently through every detail. Even the reflector of PANOS Q is square – a complete novelty. Moreover, the one-piece reflector body moulded from high-quality polycarbonate provides substantially greater strength and light-tightness than conventional reflectors made of sheet aluminium. The upper part of the reflector is made of heat-resistant die-cast aluminium and gives PANOS Q excellent durability and a long service life. A choice of four different reflectors is available depending on the desired lighting effect: faceted, smooth, matt and painted.

Efficient and sophisticated: PSP+® reflector coating
The smooth and faceted reflectors are coated with 100% purest silver using a high-tech sputtering method. Thanks to this innovative PSP+® coating, the light output ratio of PANOS Q is up to 20% higher than that of downlights fitted with conventional reflectors. The silver coating also achieves an excellent reflection of thermal radiation, significantly prolonging the service life of the lamps used.

The right size for every situation
With two design sizes – Low und High –, PANOS Q responds to different requirements. PANOS Q Low with 190 mm lateral dimensions and a mounting depth of only 100 mm is the smallest downlight for wide-area lighting on the market and can easily be integrated into almost any ceiling. It is particularly suitable for general lighting throughout corridors, foyers and exhibition areas. Designed for being fitted with one lamp, the electronic ballast supports the use of compact fluorescent lamps. A version for HIT lamps is also available, which shows its strengths in all applications where brilliant colour rendition is required, such as shops and showrooms.

PANOS Q High – the big brother of PANOS Q Low – has been specially designed for situations requiring large quantities of light and for installation in suspended ceilings. Optionally fitted with one or two compact fluorescent lamps, this downlight provides uniform, wide-angle light distribution and homogeneous luminance distribution. This downlight model is particularly attractive for use in offices and administrative buildings, as PANOS Q High meets the requirements specified in the EN 12464 standard for glare control in office environments.

Quick and easy installation without any tools
Like all the models in the PANOS range, PANOS Q can be installed quickly, conveniently and without the use of any tools. After the mounting frame has been inserted and fixed in place wsith the tried-and-tested PANOS mounting springs, the reflector is locked in place with an audible click mechanism and the cover frame is fitted – job done.
Integration into a lighting control system can also be realised easily. Upon request, dimmable models of PANOS Q are available for daylight-based control and lighting scenarios. If required, emergency lighting elements can also be integrated into the downlight.

Individual character with a range of attachments
A wide range of different frames as well as design-oriented and technical lighting attachments give PANOS Q an unmistakable identity with a variety of design accents. The special feature here is that when an attachment element is placed onto the frame, the reflector automatically recedes, creating space for the attachment. The appearance of PANOS Q remains unchanged and consistent.
