The technology that gives life to the Microslot™ is called Optix™ Multifocus Technology. This serves as a stamp of assurance that any lighting system carrying the Optix™ name provides energy savings and outstanding performance.

Optix™ Multifocus Technology uses the concept of an ellipse. A lamp placed at one focal point of an elliptical reflector will emit rays of light that bounce off the reflector and converge at the other focal point to form a "virtual lamp".
