FILIX RD200 Wins Most Innovative Product Award at SeaTac Lighting Expo 2026

Recognition for an in-ground luminaire created to solve real project challenges

We are proud to announce that the FILIX RDT200 has been awarded Most Innovative Product at the SeaTac Lighting Expo 2026.

This recognition is an important achievement for FILIX and a proud moment for everyone involved in developing and bringing the product to market. More than an award for a single luminaire, it confirms the value of an idea that guided the RDT200 from the beginning: meaningful innovation should solve real challenges for designers, installers and project teams.

The award also marks an exciting milestone for FILIX as part of the Luminii family. The response at the Expo showed how our combined expertise is creating new opportunities and delivering solutions the market needs. From the first conversations at the event, it was clear that the RDT200 fills an important gap in the portfolio, with discussions already progressing around active projects.

Practical innovation where it matters most

Final aiming often takes place only after a luminaire has been installed and the surrounding architecture or landscape is complete. With conventional recessed fixtures, redirecting the light can require opening the luminaire and exposing sensitive internal components.

The tilt-adjustable RDT200 configuration offers a practical solution. Its internal lighting module can be adjusted by up to 20 degrees after installation—without removing the glass or compromising the protective seal.

This gives designers and commissioning teams the freedom to direct light precisely where it is needed while maintaining the integrity of the luminaire. Narrow, flood and asymmetric optics support a wide range of applications, while interchangeable glare-control accessories and different glass options help improve visual comfort and reduce unwanted light.

The result is not innovation for its own sake. It is a carefully engineered response to a familiar on-site challenge, providing greater flexibility during installation and more precise lighting outcomes throughout the life of a project.

Built for demanding outdoor environments

The RDT200 is designed to combine architectural precision with the durability required for challenging outdoor conditions.

Its die-cast aluminum body features two layers of surface protection, including a Qualicoat Seaside-standard powder-coated finish. The luminaire carries IP67 and IK10 ratings, is supplied with sealed IP68 connectors and can withstand vehicle loads of up to 5,000 kilograms.

FILIX technologies provide additional protection. Split & Seal creates a permanent barrier around vulnerable cable-entry points, helping prevent water and moisture from reaching sensitive components. Heat Sense monitors internal temperatures and automatically adjusts LED power when necessary, protecting the luminaire and supporting reliable long-term performance.

These features make the RDT200 suitable for architectural and landscape lighting, façades, public and commercial spaces, and residential projects where visual quality and resilience are equally important.

Precise light with greater visual comfort

A lighting solution is only successful when it puts the right light in the right place.

The RDT200 offers a selection of focused, wide and asymmetric beam options for illuminating architectural details, surfaces and landscape elements. Its adjustable optical system allows the beam to be aimed accurately, even after the surrounding project has been completed.

A range of internal glare-control options—including microlouvres, hex louvres and discrete sight accessories—helps designers balance performance with visual comfort. Clear, half-moon and anti-slip glass options provide additional flexibility for different locations and project requirements.

Together, these choices allow the RDT200 to adapt to its surroundings rather than forcing the project to adapt to the luminaire.

Designed for simpler installation and long-term service

Innovation within the RDT200 extends beyond optical performance.

The product supports DMX, DALI and 0-10V control. FILIX technologies such as Data Pulse, Data Whisper and X Line simplify power and data distribution, streamline addressing and reduce installation complexity across larger lighting systems.

Maintenance was also considered from the earliest stages of development. Both the LED module and LED engine can be replaced on site while the main fixture body remains installed. This reduces disruption, shortens servicing time and helps avoid the unnecessary replacement of complete luminaires.

With a construction that is 91% recyclable and 95% repairable, the RDT200 demonstrates how performance and responsible product design can work together. Its sustainability comes not only from efficient operation, but also from durability, serviceability and a product architecture designed to remain useful for as long as possible.

An award made possible by teamwork

Receiving the Most Innovative Product award is a proud moment for the entire team behind the RDT200.

Bringing the product from an initial idea to an award-winning solution required months of collaboration across engineering, development, testing, production, quality, marketing and sales. Every stage of the process contributed to creating a product that is technically advanced, practical to work with and ready for real-world projects.

A special acknowledgment goes to the FILIX R&D team, whose expertise, persistence and attention to every technical detail made this achievement possible. As always, they transformed a real project challenge into a carefully engineered, thoroughly tested solution worthy of industry recognition.

Congratulations go to Vedran Lončarić for presenting the RDT200 and representing FILIX with such a strong demonstration at the Expo. His knowledge, preparation and enthusiasm helped visitors understand not only how the product works, but why its innovations matter to designers, engineers and project teams.

We also extend our sincere thanks to our colleagues across the Luminii family for helping bring the RDT200 to the market and making this opportunity possible.

We are delighted to see the RDT200 recognized at the SeaTac Lighting Expo. Most importantly, the award reinforces our commitment to developing thoughtful lighting solutions that address genuine project needs.
