ORYO meets LICHTKANAL
KLICK. LIGHT. PRECISION.
The best of two worlds combined in a single system.
Rethinking LTS light architecture.
A tool that takes creative lighting design to a whole new level.
Two proven lighting systems merge into one forward-thinking tool: the precise ORYO spotlight and the modular LTS Lichtkanal.
The high-performance ORYO spotlight can now be integrated as a stand-alone module into the LTS Lichtkanal 060 and 070. The key feature: thanks to a tool-free click-in system, the spotlight head is mounted in the same way as the standard linear light insert. The positioning and number of linear inserts and 280 mm ORYO spotlight modules can be freely arranged.
Secure, quick, and architecturally flawless.
Design freedom meets lighting quality
The combination of the clearly structured Lichtkanal and the flexibly adjustable ORYO spotlight opens up new creative possibilities – for an architecture in which light not only illuminates but also shapes. The mix of linear lighting and focused accentuation ensures maximum design freedom. While the Lichtkanal serves as an architectural, space-structuring element that provides rhythm and even illumination, the ORYO spotlight adds targeted lighting effects and accent highlights – flexibly positionable and individually controllable.
This solution is particularly suitable for retail, hospitality, or office environments where functional lighting is to be combined with atmospheric effects. The simple, conical housing of the ORYO blends harmoniously into the ceiling structure and supports a clear design language.
Lighting effects that transform spaces
The interplay of wide-area lighting and focused spots creates depth and dimension. ORYO within the Lichtkanal gives spaces a new narrative layer: zones can be clearly defined, highlights emphasised, and visual guidance created. With the new ORYO module in the Lichtkanal, LTS once again demonstrates its innovative strength: a modular lighting system that combines maximum planning freedom, sustainable technology, and architectural impact.
Technical refinement for demanding applications
The ORYO spotlight module can be flexibly positioned anywhere within the Lichtkanal – before, after, or between linear light inserts. Electrical connection is straightforward, whether or not light inserts are installed. This user-friendly setup enables efficient installation and precise light control, making it ideal for sophisticated lighting applications.
The ORYO system offers a wide range of options to meet the highest technical requirements. With beam angles from 6° to 45° and a choice of various optics – such as honeycomb louvres or snoots – it allows for precise light distribution. Furthermore, the system can be combined with NanoOptix or Choc modules (Choc only for LK 045) to ensure uniform, glare-free illumination. With a luminous flux of up to 3000 lm and the option to integrate modules like the BBBL-LED module for excellent colour rendering (CRI > 90), the ORYO spotlight module delivers outstanding light quality.
Lighting design at the highest level
The new ORYO spotlight module within the Lichtkanal becomes a creative tool for lighting designers: whether as wallwasher, indirect ceiling lighting, wide-area general illumination or focused object lighting – LTS offers the full repertoire for holistic lighting concepts within one channel. Our lighting design team supports every project with in-depth expertise and cross-application experience.
The combination of linear light and targeted light accents enables multilayered lighting design – functional, emotional, atmospheric. For example, retail environments can be zoned and highlight products showcased, orientation and ergonomics can be enhanced in office spaces, or immersive atmospheres created in hospitality projects.
Refurbishment meets expansion
In the context of refurbishment solutions, the new ORYO spotlight module offers significant added value:
Previously, downlights were integrated directly into the ceiling and spotlights mounted separately, while the Lichtkanal was installed as an additional element. Today, the ORYO spotlights can be integrated directly into the Lichtkanal – eliminating the need for separate downlights or spotlights.
With the flexible integration of ORYO spotlights into the existing channel – whether recessed, surface-mounted or suspended – new, unified lighting solutions emerge. These provide a compact, future-proof and aesthetically consistent solution that convinces both functionally and architecturally – with architectural clarity and technical finesse.
A true game-changer for energy-optimised lighting refurbishments and functional upgrades in existing buildings.
The system is not only effective in conventional refurbishment contexts. Even in the repurposing of vacant buildings – an increasingly relevant trend – the combination of Lichtkanal and ORYO proves its highest flexibility. Whether for new room functions, changing usage zones, or entirely new architectural concepts: the LTS lighting system transforms any space into an experiential environment.
New uses. New opportunities. New light.
Vacant spaces become living environments, offices turn into apartments, shopping centres evolve into co-working spaces. The transformation of buildings brings entirely new demands for architecture and lighting design. What’s needed are smart lighting systems that flexibly adapt to new spatial functions – while remaining efficient, high-quality, and visually compelling.
Combining Lichtkanal 060/070 with ORYO results in a system that responds flexibly to changing room requirements – functional, premium, and architecturally precise.
Planners benefit not only from the technical flexibility, but also from the comprehensive service of LTS lighting design: creative, smart, and architecturally integrated lighting concepts, individually tailored to each new usage idea.
System benefits in practice
-
Modularity and flexibility:
Lichtkanal 060 and 070 can be combined with the ORYO 100 and 200 light modules. The spotlights can be arranged in any sequence with or without linear light inserts in the channel (for example: spotlight, linear, spotlight or linear, linear, spotlight). This flexible configuration offers high design freedom and enables pinpoint light accents – without the need for additional track structures. -

Application areas & use cases
Retail
When light becomes a brand message – creating immersive spaces and stronger customer loyalty.
In retail, lighting design plays a crucial role in brand perception and purchase decisions. With linear general lighting, accentuated brand presentation, double asymmetric shelf lighting (NanoOptix) and enhanced spatial quality, the sales area transforms into an experience space.
Office
Modular lighting for modern work environments – ergonomic, efficient and atmospheric.
- Zonal lighting with direct and indirect components provides structure, supports concentration and enhances wellbeing. The ORYO spotlights within the Lichtkanal can be repositioned without additional installation effort – for example, when workstations are moved or room layouts change. This ensures that the lighting concept remains functional and architecturally consistent, even with flexible office scenarios or altered furnishings.
Hospitality
Representative, functional and atmospheric – lighting design for sophisticated hospitality spaces.
- Whether in lobbies, bars, corridors or guest rooms: targeted lighting creates atmosphere, guides the eye and shapes the spatial experience. Lichtkanal systems and ORYO spotlights can be flexibly combined – from elegant ceiling and wall lines to functional reading light solutions in hotel rooms. The result is high-quality lighting concepts with a feel-good character that meet both design and functional requirements.
Museums & public building
Function meets precision – lighting solutions for structured spaces with high demands.
- Whether for exhibitions, conferences or communal zones – precise lighting design creates clarity, directs attention and supports the intended function of a space. Lichtkanal systems provide uniform, glare-free general lighting, while ORYO spotlights offer pinpoint accentuation of artworks, exhibits or architectural features. The result is a versatile lighting solution that meets the highest aesthetic and functional standards in public spaces.
