IS this what you mean or do you really mean all your lamps shine sideways?<BR /> <BR /> Other options exist. For instance, the "Spotlamp Ceiling 10" has rotation around two axes available.<BR /> <BR /> Certainly you are right that the lamps do not have the best directionality, but since a point light source like is in the Wall Lamp 05 radiates in all directions, is this a problem?<BR /> <BR /> Adding an easily aimed light source as you do is a great solution to lamp rigidity. <BR /> <BR /> If I misinterpret your query, please make an illustration.
