Portal reimagines both directional and general area illumination through a single, cohesive family of luminaires. With proprietary Anidolic optics and cutting-edge LED technology, Portal transforms conventional point-source lighting into pure architectural geometry. This breakthrough in optical design not only delivers an unrivaled visual experience but also elevates spatial comfort and performance through uniform light distribution, high efficacy, and minimal glare. Whether used for ambient, task, or accent lighting, Portal provides seamless design continuity across all forms and mounting types, adapting effortlessly to diverse architectural conditions.
Designed with maximum versatility in mind, Portal is available in two diameters—5.5 inches and 9 inches—to accommodate a wide range of applications. Both sizes offer multiple direct and indirect optical configurations, enabling beam angles of 30°, 45°, and 65°, as well as pendant distributions of 20|80 and 50|50. These optics transcend typical point-source limitations by providing exceptional visual uniformity, lower energy densities, and efficacies of up to 150 lumens per watt. Precision control and light extraction features ensure high-performance distributions with superior glare management and consistent color rendering across all environments.
Portal's minimalist aesthetic is defined by its narrow-gauge integrated power and suspension system, measuring less than 0.12 inches in diameter. This discreet approach supports clean architectural lines and refined ceiling integration. Whether minimal and quiet or bold and expressive, Portal's form is engineered to support diverse design visions. Its housing and canopy are precision-machined from extruded architectural-grade aluminum and 22-gauge steel, with finishes available in powdercoat white, metallic silver, or black. Custom RAL finishes are also offered, with component-specific color selection at no additional cost. Silver cords are standard for white, silver, and RAL finishes, while black cords accompany black finishes.
Each Portal luminaire is offered in six mounting variants—Recessed, Semi-Recessed, Semi-Recessed Adjustable, Surface, Surface Adjustable, and Pendant—ensuring integration in both new and retrofit installations. All configurations are IC rated and support trim or trimless applications. Light output ranges from 1200 lumens in the smaller diameter to 4100 lumens in the larger, allowing Portal to scale efficiently across a variety of ceiling heights and lighting layouts.
The optical system is built around circular Anidolic structures with precision-molded, high-transmittance clear acrylic lenses. These structures internally refract, reflect, and mix light, homogenizing LED point sources into a consistent, luminous ring of light with exceptional color accuracy. Options are available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K with CRI≥80 and R9≥0 or CRI≥90 and R9≥50, all with tight binning ≤2 SDCM for color uniformity.
Portal’s electrical system includes factory-installed low-voltage power cords and integral high-efficiency drivers that support 50–60Hz operation at 120–277V or 347V. Drivers meet strict performance requirements, including power factor ratings above 0.87, total harmonic distortion below 20%, and deep dimming capabilities to 3%, 1%, or even 0.1%. Surge protection complies with ANSI C82.11 and ANSI/IEEE C62.41, while inrush current performance aligns with NEMA 410 standards.
Emergency options are available, including a 10W Class 2 battery pack that supports 90 minutes of backup operation and an optional Generator Transfer Device (GTD) that overrides dimming controls for full light output during outages. When remote-mounting drivers, recommended wire gauges are 18 AWG for 30 feet, 14 AWG for 50 feet, and 12 AWG for 80 feet, to minimize voltage drop and ensure stable performance.
Portal luminaires are rated for use in dry or damp indoor locations with ambient temperatures from 0–30°C (32–86°F). While durable, the fixtures must be protected from exposure to aggressive chemicals like chlorine, solvents, ammonia, alcohol, or sulfur, which may degrade materials and are not covered under warranty. Portal is not intended for natatorium environments such as swimming pools or saunas. For routine cleaning, only a soft cloth dampened with water should be used.
Altogether, Portal embodies the convergence of advanced optical science, high-performance lighting engineering, and modern minimalist design. Its comprehensive configurability, precision construction, and architectural sensitivity make it an ideal solution for projects seeking both visual excellence and functional adaptability in contemporary environments.
