The CORE Cutout cylinder lights are designed to deliver modern aesthetics while maintaining uncompromising performance. Engineered with precision optics and high lumen outputs, they combine architectural elegance with advanced functionality to meet the needs of a wide range of interior applications. The Cutout series offers lumen packages of up to 6,000 lumens with beam spreads ranging from 15° to 80°, allowing for highly controlled lighting effects. A variety of interchangeable lens accessories further extend versatility, enabling designers to fine-tune performance for specific environments.
Available in 3.5-inch, 4.5-inch, and 6-inch diameters with heights between 8.1 inches and 15.4 inches, the CORE Cutout cylinders can be specified with direct, indirect, or direct/indirect light distributions. This flexibility ensures adaptability across applications where both functional performance and visual balance are required. Designers may choose from several mounting options, including pendant, surface, sconce, or yoke configurations, making the fixtures suitable for projects ranging from hospitality and office environments to retail and institutional spaces.
A distinctive feature of the CORE Cutout family is its body design. Each fixture incorporates an elegant heat sink clad with customizable cutout patterns, which serve as a defining visual element while maintaining thermal efficiency. Standard cutout designs are offered, but custom patterns can be specified to achieve one-of-a-kind architectural statements. For projects where a solid body is preferred, the CORE 3, 4, or 6 models are available as non-cutout alternatives.
Performance and efficiency are central to the design of the CORE Cutout cylinders. Outputs range from 500 to 6,000 lumens with power consumption between 3.4 and 58.3 watts, achieving efficacies up to 147 lumens per watt. Color quality is equally prioritized, with options for 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K color temperatures, all within a tight three-step MacAdam ellipse for consistency. Fixtures are offered with 90 CRI for superior rendering, along with an option for BIOS SkyBlue® technology to support circadian wellness.
The lighting system is designed to integrate seamlessly with modern control infrastructures. Drivers are available in internal, deep canopy, or remote-mounted versions, and dimming compatibility includes 0–10V, phase dimming, DALI, DMX, eldoLED, Lutron, and PoE systems such as Molex, Igor, and NuLEDs. Select models allow dimming down to 0%, supporting advanced control scenarios in professional environments. Reflectors range from 15° to 80° and are field-replaceable without tools, offering further flexibility in lighting design.
Built for durability and architectural integration, the fixtures are constructed from extruded aluminum with galvanized steel hardware and are listed for dry and damp locations. Up to 17 standard finishes are available, with special-order and custom color-matching options for complete design coordination. Despite their robust construction, the fixtures maintain a lightweight design at up to nine pounds.
The CORE Cutout cylinders are UL and CSA certified and carry an 11-year warranty, reflecting their long-term reliability. They also contribute to WELL™ Building Standards, supporting features L03, L04, and L07, which address lighting quality and occupant well-being. With their balance of sculptural form, customizable aesthetics, high performance, and sustainable design, the CORE Cutout cylinders provide a versatile solution for both decorative and functional architectural lighting.
