Designers: Jan Dinnebier, studio dinnebier, Berlin, Germany
Manufacturer: mawa design Licht- und Wohnideen GmbH., Michendorf, Germany

In 2014, Martin Wallroth and Jan Dinnebier de ned the developmental goals for the rd generation of the »wittenberg« spotlight system. The main objective was to achieve a forwards-compatible, exchangeable LED with a larger light-emitting surface, while maintaining the existing spot-head volume. An increase in light output of more than 50% worked so well, it was positively crowded when doubled. An optimization of the CRI value was also on the wish list, as was the concealment of screws and cabeling.

Flexibility – one of the main features of the spotlight series, was increased by achieving a rotatability of 365° and pivoting up to 90°, permitting light to reach the most far- ung corner of any room. Exchangeable lenses, a bajonette catch for revision without tools (patent pending). Optional attachments including a honeycomb raster, shutter, LSD - light shaping di user, and the choice of numerous dimmability options. These are the results of a 2 year development project, which the mawa engineering team lead by Daniel Frey and Alessia Pegorin introduced at the light+building 2016. High-Tech made in Brandenburg.
