SkyeView is an architecturally elegant LED luminaire designed to deliver refined ambient illumination in modern commercial spaces. Its defining feature is a unique square-in-square diffuser design that sets it apart visually while enhancing performance. Ideally suited for specialty locations with suspended ceiling grids, such as lobbies, public spaces, and select commercial environments, SkyeView offers both aesthetic distinction and advanced optical engineering to create a welcoming, glare-free atmosphere.
At the heart of SkyeView's appeal is its exclusive 2xVL Optic lens. This dual-layered light-shielding system incorporates two distinct prism designs to enhance visual comfort and deliver a warm, balanced glow without the need for traditional high-luminance diffusers. The larger, inner-area prisms are optimized to mitigate glare, while the smaller, outer-area prisms allow more light to filter through, producing a subtle yet impactful ambient effect. These two optical zones work in harmony to deliver daylight-inspired illumination that is as comfortable as it is beautiful. The lens is available in flush and regressed styles, further expanding the design options.
Engineered for compatibility with suspended grid ceilings, SkyeView is designed with a shallow housing depth of only 3 1/2 inches (8.9 cm), making it ideal for areas with low ceiling clearance or tight plenums. It seamlessly integrates into a variety of ceiling types while enhancing the overall architectural aesthetic. Its soft, diffused light output helps elevate the visual experience in both large and small spaces.
This versatile luminaire is available with a wide range of advanced driver options and smart control systems. Standard offerings include the Lutron LDE1 Hi-lume 1% EcoSystem with Soft-on, Fade-to-Black, as well as DALI, DMX, and Xitanium SR drivers for wireless sensors. SkyeView also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) via MOLEX, IGOR, and SMARTENGINE systems. For enhanced circadian lighting support, SkyeView can be configured with BIOS technology, including static spectrum (STC), dynamic spectrum with Bio-Dimming™ (DYN), and Tunable White (BTW) systems. Bio-Dimming allows light spectrum adjustments that maintain consistent output while reducing SkyBlue content and adjusting CCT from 4000K down to 2700K. BIOS options provide R9 >75 and are optimized to support well-being through targeted spectrum control.
For even greater flexibility, SkyeView supports Axitune® Tunable White systems, enabling independent control of color temperature and intensity. Whether through BIOS or Axitune systems, SkyeView allows specifiers to tailor lighting solutions to meet the specific visual, biological, and aesthetic needs of a space. Color temperature options include 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, all within a tight 3-step MacAdam ellipse for outstanding consistency from fixture to fixture.
Built to last, SkyeView offers a minimum LED lifetime of 50,000 hours with 85% lumen maintenance at 25°C ambient temperature, as per IES LM-80 compliance. Its aluminum housing acts as an efficient heat sink, supporting thermal stability and ensuring long-term reliability. This fixture is rated for dry and damp indoor locations, operating effectively in ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Constructed from high-quality materials, SkyeView features a die-formed cold-rolled steel housing (20-gauge), an extruded aluminum door frame, high-reflectance post-painted reflectors, and a combined CDP micro-prism lens with PMMA satin-blend side lenses. It is compatible with extruded aluminum drywall flange kits and includes integrated hold-down clips for secure installation.
SkyeView is certified to both UL and CSA standards, meets NYC requirements, and is Chicago Plenum Certified (CCEA). It is also IC-rated for use in insulated ceilings and suitable for damp locations, ensuring compliance across a range of commercial building codes.
With its distinctive lens design, shallow depth, precision optics, and extensive driver compatibility—including advanced circadian, tunable white, and PoE control—SkyeView is a complete architectural lighting solution for professionals seeking both form and performance in modern ambient lighting applications.
