Flash

Flash is a Davide Groppi luminaire from 2017, which the maker describes as its Infinito model turned around, with the light flowing downwards. An ultra-thin stainless steel strip just 9 mm wide, it can be stretched from wall to wall and gives direct light from above. A dual-emission version is also available (up and down, with separate switches). Flash breaks the luminaire down into a trace, a line, and then just light; the project pays homage to Lucio Fontana and his spatial concepts.

Standard lengths are 6, 12 and 18 metres, the tunable white version comes in lengths of 5 and 10 m, and lengths up to 36 metres are possible. The strip is made in matt black or matt white and can be powered by the ENDLESS system.

Technical details according to Davide Groppi: Flash 6 m 55 W, Flash 12 m 110 W, Flash 18 m 165 W; from 7494 to 22,482 lumens at 2700 K, or from 7668 to 23,004 lumens at 3000 K; 48 V DC input, CRI above 90; the tunable white variant 2700–6500 K at 24 V DC. Price on request.
