ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Parabolics reward precision and punish pretenders; the Alcor is precise — measured beam maps at three positions, silver that keeps its colour, and ribs that replace one by one instead of retiring the instrument.
Light is shaped at the last metre, so the last metre gets the best materials: silver and white textiles woven and measured for even spread, diffusion in graded weights that stay neutral, and frames that open in seconds and survive years of vans. Beam patterns are stated as published by the manufacturer on every listing.

- Every panel, rib and layer available as a spare part

Care
