Lia™ is a sophisticated acoustic pendant light that combines high-performance illumination with superior sound absorption, creating a transformative effect in any interior space. Designed with an air of mystery and elegance, Lia integrates PET felt fins around a powerful light engine, producing a light and airy volume that interacts with every viewing angle. The fins allow light to peek through, generating shadow, transparency, and layered visual effects that enhance both the aesthetic and functional qualities of the space. Lia is offered in three nominal diameters of 3', 4', and 5', and two nominal heights of 12" and 18", allowing it to scale seamlessly from intimate rooms to expansive environments. Lumen outputs ranging from 2,000 lm to 17,000 lm make Lia suitable for a variety of applications, including high, open ceilings or clustered pendant arrangements for dramatic visual impact.
The design of Lia emphasizes flexibility and personalization. A vast palette of PET felt hues—from soft neutrals to bold, vibrant tones—allows designers to coordinate or contrast the fins with the four standard housing and canopy paint finishes, creating hundreds of unique combinations. This mix-and-match capability ensures each luminaire can serve as a bespoke statement piece, perfectly aligned with the architectural and interior design intent. Lia’s modular approach, combined with multiple size options, makes it ideal for both standalone installations and complex clustered arrangements in collaboration hubs, lobbies, hospitality spaces, or large gathering areas.
Lia’s construction reflects a commitment to sustainable and durable materials. The acoustic fins are composed of 100% polyester, incorporating up to 50% recycled PET bottles, and carry Declare certification as LBC Red List Free. The material meets ASTM E-84 Class A and CAN ULC S102 fire ratings and is moisture resistant, ensuring safety and longevity. Maintenance is simple, with surfaces easily cleaned using a soft cloth or vacuum. The luminaire’s housing and canopy feature polyester powder-coated finishes applied over a multi-stage pre-treatment, available in Matte Satin White, Titanium Silver, Matte Black, and Modest Mushroom Gloss.
The light engine of Lia employs Skydome® technology, incorporating premium LEDs on a robust platform with excellent thermal management to ensure uniform light distribution. LED modules and drivers are replaceable and offered in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K color temperatures with CRI greater than 80 or 90. For 3500K and 4000K, CRI>90 options provide a cyanosis observation index (COI) of 3.3 or less, ensuring high-quality color rendering. A convex textured lens ensures an evenly illuminated diffuser and consistent, comfortable light, even at high lumen outputs. Standard 120-277V drivers include 0-10V analog dimming, with multiple dimming options also available, including low-voltage, PoE compatibility, and Lutron Hi-Lume EcoSystem®, making Lia fully compatible with modern lighting control systems.
The pendant’s structural elements are engineered for performance and ease of installation. The light engine housing is constructed from 18 Ga. spun steel, with a mounting pan that secures the engine via torsion springs. Pendant suspension options include 24", 48", and 96" aircraft cables or rigid stems from 12" to 48", with custom lengths available on request. Weight varies by size, with the 36" diameter unit at 43 lbs, the 48" unit at 80 lbs, and the 60" unit at 110 lbs. The optic includes a 20 Ga. steel reflector finished in high reflectance white powder coat, paired with a 0.125" thick convex acrylic lens, providing both visual clarity and even illumination.
Lia is designed for a variety of environments where visual impact and acoustic performance are equally important. It excels in spaces such as collaborative work areas, lobbies, hospitality settings, and other gathering points, offering a combination of striking design and sound-dampening functionality. The luminaire is UL and cUL listed, suitable for dry or damp indoor locations, and can integrate seamlessly with Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting systems or other building lighting control systems for enhanced energy efficiency, dimming flexibility, and occupant comfort. By combining premium materials, sustainable construction, and advanced lighting technology, Lia provides both a harmonious acoustic environment and a visually compelling centerpiece for any architectural space.
