The VK Vertical Recessed Wall Light is a contemporary lighting solution engineered for clean, seamless integration into vertical architectural surfaces. Ideal for applications such as columns, pergola posts, entryway walls, and stairwells, this fixture delivers both form and function. Available in 1 LED, 3 LED, and ZDC configurations, the VK offers versatility in output and control while maintaining a compact, stylish footprint.
With its recessed, integrated LED light source and diffused output, the VK provides soft, glare-free illumination that enhances visibility and safety—especially important for locations with grade changes or pedestrian traffic. It includes a custom installation box to ensure perfect alignment in vertical structures and carries an IP66 rating for durability in outdoor environments.
Constructed from die-cast A380 aluminum and finished with a two-layer marine-grade anodization and TGIC polyester powder coat, the VK is built to withstand harsh weather conditions. It features integrated Lumileds® LEDs, gold-plated connectors, and conformal coating for reliability and corrosion resistance. The onboard intelligent driver manages temperature through firmware, extending LED life to up to 72,000 hours. The LEDs are also field-upgradeable and replaceable, ensuring long-term performance and serviceability.
The fixture offers both phase-cut dimming and compatibility with Luxor® Technology, supporting zoning, dimming, and, in the ZDC model, full-color RGBW control with access to 30,000 custom colors. The VK can be grouped with up to 250 fixtures and dimmed in 1% increments, making it a powerful tool for architectural lighting designers seeking nuanced control.
Optical performance is tightly managed with polycarbonate lenses engineered for shock resistance and thermal stability. Color temperature is defined by part number, and beam angles are calculated using LM-79 testing standards. The faceplate and lens assembly are also made of die-cast aluminum and high-durability polycarbonate, respectively, ensuring mechanical strength and visual clarity.
Weighing just 1.2 lbs (0.5 kg), the VK includes tamper-resistant stainless steel fasteners, mounting brackets, and a 10-foot lead wire for flexible installation. It operates within a wide temperature range of 0°F to 140°F (-18°C to 60°C) and requires a remote transformer (specified separately) for 10–15V input voltage.
The VK is compliant with IEC 60598-1 and IEC 60598-2-2 standards when the "e" version is selected, and it is backed by a 10-year limited warranty. Built with sustainability in mind, the VK utilizes recycled materials wherever possible while maintaining premium functionality, offering energy-efficient lighting with high performance, reliability, and longevity.
