The Seem® 6 is a 6-inch aperture luminaire designed to integrate seamlessly into architecture, supporting both functional illumination and cohesive aesthetics. Its versatile design enables it to blend organically with ceilings and walls in a variety of configurations, helping create unity and harmony across interior spaces. Suitable for installation in drywall, hard ceilings, and grid ceiling systems—including pre-engineered grids that require a 6-inch slot—the Seem 6 provides architects and designers with the flexibility to build straight runs, geometric patterns, and wall-to-ceiling transitions. This ability to adapt across different architectural applications makes it a powerful tool for shaping spaces with both precision and elegance.
Performance and visual comfort are central to the Seem 6. The system is available with a choice of shielding options, including flush, regress, or pop-down lenses, each delivering uniform illumination and brightness control while enhancing visual comfort. Designers can specify direct and indirect distributions, as well as color temperatures ranging from 2700K to 4000K, with CRI values above 80 or 90. Higher-CRI models at 3500K and 4000K also comply with cyanosis observation index (COI) standards, supporting applications in sensitive environments such as healthcare. Proprietary linear LED modules, combined with robust thermal management, ensure smooth, pixel-free illumination and consistent performance over long product life cycles. All LED modules and drivers are replaceable from below, making maintenance straightforward.
The luminaire is designed with installation flexibility in mind. For recessed applications, the NF mounting system employs a proprietary bracket that secures luminaires to the structural deck with threaded rods or tie wires. This allows lighting to be installed after the ceiling is in place, streamlining coordination between trades while ensuring perfect alignment regardless of ceiling thickness. For grid ceilings, the T4V mounting method integrates luminaires neatly between ceiling panels, ensuring the lens sits flush with tiles or aligns properly when pop-down lenses are used. In both cases, luminaires are secured to the deck for stability, and trim flanges can be added after drywall preparation. These thoughtful installation methods make Seem 6 compatible with a wide range of ceiling systems while maintaining a clean, unified architectural appearance.
The system’s construction features a one-piece extruded aluminum housing with 20-gauge steel end caps for durability and precision. Reflectors are fabricated from 22-gauge steel with a high-reflectance white finish, while the extruded acrylic satin-finish lens provides consistent illumination in continuous lengths of up to eight feet. With unit weights ranging from 18 lbs. for a 2-foot length to 36 lbs. for a 5-foot length, the Seem 6 balances robustness with a light architectural footprint. Finishes are achieved through a polyester powder coat applied over a multi-stage pre-treatment, ensuring long-lasting visual quality.
Equipped with advanced electrical and control capabilities, the Seem 6 comes pre-wired with branch circuit wiring and over-molded quick connects for efficient installation. Standard drivers support 120–277V input with 0–10V analog dimming from 100% down to 10%, and the fixture is also available with Power over Ethernet (PoE) integration for low-voltage infrastructure. PoE runs require an independent node and power feed for each luminaire section, making the system compatible with modern networked building technologies. For added safety, an emergency battery option delivers 10 watts of output for 90 minutes at mounting heights up to 18.8 feet. Connected Solutions integration supports daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and communication with both wired and wireless control systems, enabling digital reconfiguration of zoning, energy savings, and enhanced occupant comfort.
With a reported lumen maintenance of L70 at more than 61,000 hours—and calculated performance exceeding 350,000 hours—the Seem 6 provides long-lasting reliability. It is UL and cUL listed, suitable for dry or damp locations, and designed for indoor use only. Its ability to unify architectural spaces, deliver exceptional illumination quality, and integrate with advanced building control systems makes Seem 6 a versatile solution for commercial offices, educational institutions, healthcare environments, hospitality venues, and beyond.
