Architectural luminaries utilize a common optical engine having a lamp coupled to an ellipsoidal reflector, a field stop aperture, and image-projecting lenses A color wheel, gobo wheel, and mechanical dimmer may also be included. A microlens element converts a spotlight optical engine into a wash light optical system. A multiple lens array provides variable diffusion. The optical engine is combined with an X-Y scanning mirror beam direction system in a substantially recessed housing for mounting in the ceiling of a building. The optical engine is combined with a pan-and-tilt yoke for greater range of coverage with an exposed luminaire.
