iGuzzini has expanded its recessed lighting portfolio with Laser Evo, a highly configurable downlight system that’s built on the visual-comfort principles. Designed for retail, hospitality and residential applications, Laser Evo combines compact form factors, architectural integration, optical flexibility and connected-control options in a platform offering more than one million potential configurations.
The product family follows the core Laser Blade proposition: minimizing visibility of the light source to reduce glare and allow light—not the luminaire—to define the space. Laser Evo extends that approach across a broader range of diameters, finishes, mounting aesthetics, optics and light-distribution options.
Laser Evo is available in eight sizes, with nominal diameters from 17 mm to 153 mm. Output ranges from 100 to 4,000 lumens, supporting applications from intimate residential zones and display accents to larger commercial interiors. Depending on configuration, the range delivers efficacy of up to 145 lm/W and visual-comfort performance as low as UGR<10. IP65 options expand its suitability for areas requiring elevated ingress protection.
The system comprises five principal versions: Fixed, Adjustable, Tilted, Shallow and Wall Washer. Within the Fixed range, designers can specify six “supercomfort” forms—Cone, Dome, Dome Space, Soft, Soft Space and Squircle—to tailor both ceiling appearance and lighting character. Lens optics are intended to provide controlled, precise illumination for highlighting materials, merchandise and architectural geometry, while reflector options produce softer, more uniform illumination for ambient settings.
Architectural integration is central to the range. The Frame version uses a slimmer frame and reduced trim, while a Flush accessory allows the fixture to sit more continuously with the ceiling plane, minimizing the perceived edge of the luminaire. The approach gives specifiers latitude to choose whether lighting should make a discreet architectural contribution or establish a deliberate visual rhythm across a ceiling.
For larger-diameter models, iGuzzini has introduced its patent-pending Push&Go system. The feature enables refractors and optical accessories to be changed through a simplified, tool-efficient gesture, potentially supporting faster commissioning, maintenance and adaptation as project requirements evolve.
Laser Evo also incorporates a layered approach to smart lighting. The platform supports DALI-2 and Casambi control, alongside an RF sensor designed for concealed installation in a false ceiling. This enables occupancy- and daylight-responsive operation without introducing a prominent sensor element into the visual field. iGuzzini also points to smart services such as push notifications through its Jiminy app, positioning the system as an interface for interaction between a space, its occupants and facility operations.
Sustainability and serviceability are further elements of the product strategy. Laser Evo uses a disassemblable construction with replaceable drivers and LED modules, enabling maintenance, repair and potential future upgrades rather than full fixture replacement. The die-cast aluminum housing contains more than 90% recycled material, according to iGuzzini, and the product is designed for more than 100,000 hours at L90/B10, Ta 25°C.
For lighting designers, the value proposition is flexibility without surrendering visual quality: a single recessed platform that can scale across multiple interior zones while maintaining a coherent design language and a low-glare lighting experience.
