The Eave decorative acoustic pendant combines refined aesthetics, acoustic performance, and advanced lighting technology in a form that complements a wide range of interiors. Its defining characteristic is a simple, elegant shape enhanced by a subtle slope, which creates a wider lens opening at the base. This thoughtful design contributes to both its visual comfort and architectural presence. Adding a natural warmth, the luminaire features end caps and matching canopies crafted from real rift sawn white oak veneer, available in White Oak, Amber Oak, or Espresso Oak finishes. These natural wood elements introduce authentic texture and subtle woodgrain variations, while dozens of PET felt color options allow endless design possibilities, enabling architects and designers to tailor the fixture to specific interior palettes and acoustical needs.
Designed with versatility in mind, Eave offers both direct-only and independently controlled indirect/direct distributions, giving designers and specifiers the flexibility to address varied lighting requirements in different applications. The regressed acrylic lens and larger aperture reduce glare and ensure exceptional visual comfort, even at higher lumen packages, while meeting the luminance threshold outlined by WELL Feature L04. With a nominal baffle width that aligns seamlessly with the Seem 1 Acoustic and Seem 1 Acoustic Trio product families, Eave is an ideal standalone pendant solution for reception areas, collaborative workspaces, hospitality environments, conference rooms, and educational settings where both lighting and acoustic comfort are priorities.
The acoustic performance of the pendant is rigorously tested according to ASTM C423 standards, with reports available for download, ensuring transparency and confidence in its sound-absorbing capabilities. This makes Eave a strong solution for environments where noise control and speech intelligibility are essential.
At the core of the lighting system, Eave incorporates proprietary linear LED modules built on a robust platform with excellent thermal management, ensuring consistent performance and long life. Premium LEDs are precisely placed to achieve uniform illumination, with options for 80 CRI or 90 CRI in 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K color temperatures, offering flexibility in light quality and ambiance. Color accuracy is maintained to within <3 SDCM, ensuring precise and consistent tones across installations. The LED drivers are easily replaceable from above, supporting long-term serviceability.
Additional technical details underscore the fixture’s performance and quality. The optical system features matte white powder-coated steel reflectors paired with a frosted extruded acrylic lens, along with an optional dust cover for top shielding. Multiple shielding and optic configurations, including regressed lenses and batwing optics, are available to optimize light distribution. Weight varies from 13 lbs. for a 3-foot pendant to 27 lbs. for a 6-foot model.
Eave is designed for individual suspension, not field-joined runs, making each unit a distinctive design element. Suspension options include aircraft cable lengths from 24 to 120 inches, paired with round 5-inch canopies finished in oak, painted black, white, or titanium silver. Cable colors are available in black, white, or gray to coordinate with design schemes.
From an electrical standpoint, the luminaire comes pre-wired with factory-installed branch circuit wiring and over-molded quick connects for reliable installation. It operates on a standard 120-277V constant current driver with >0.9 power factor and includes 0-10V analog dimming as standard, with further options for Lutron Hi-Lume EcoSystem and DALI control systems to integrate seamlessly into advanced lighting control environments.
Eave carries UL and cUL listings for dry, indoor locations, affirming its compliance with safety standards. Long-term performance is assured with reported L70 lifetimes exceeding 61,000 hours and calculated lifetimes extending well beyond 470,000 hours, with equally impressive L90 figures ensuring sustained luminous output over time.
Blending acoustic comfort, refined materials, high-performance LED technology, and flexible lighting control, Eave is not only a decorative pendant but also a functional tool for enhancing modern interiors. Its integration of natural wood details, customizable colors, and versatile light distributions makes it a compelling choice for designers seeking to balance aesthetics, comfort, and performance in one sophisticated luminaire.
