Extend 2 is a sophisticated line of architectural outdoor luminaires designed to create graceful lines of light while maintaining visual continuity between indoor and outdoor environments. Its streamlined profile and advanced optical configurations support seamless transitions from interior architectural lighting to exterior applications, delivering both functionality and aesthetic coherence. The luminaires are ideal for illuminating building facades, walkways, canopies, and a wide range of other outdoor spaces that demand both durability and design refinement.
With a slender aperture width of just 2 17/32", Extend 2 is engineered to fit into compact architectural footprints while offering powerful illumination performance. The fixtures are available in standalone lengths ranging from 2 to 12 feet, with longer system runs constructed from 4', 8', or 12' modular sections. These runs are joined onsite with a precision 1" sealed joiner plate, enabling continuous illumination across expansive installations. Mounting flexibility is also built in—Extend 2 is available in pendant, wall, and recessed configurations to suit varied project needs.
Extend 2 delivers direct light distribution through a choice of precision-engineered optics, including Flush (SO), Wall Wash (WW), Grazing (GZ), Batwing (BW), and Asymmetric Spotless (ASO) lenses. This variety allows designers to tailor the light output to meet specific aesthetic and functional goals, from accenting architectural features to providing safe, even illumination across broad outdoor areas. The Spotless lens technology ensures uniform, glare-free performance with no visible LED pixelation.
Crafted from extruded aluminum with up to 70% recycled content, the housing is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The construction is IP66-rated for water and dust ingress protection and features tamper-proof TORX T20 fasteners for added security. Impact-modified components and the option for IK10 impact protection provide durability in high-traffic or vandal-prone locations. Additional features include silicone rubber gaskets, extruded elastomer lens seals, and a cast aluminum end cap, all working together to ensure long-term reliability.
Performance and safety are further enhanced by robust thermal management systems, with the aluminum housing functioning as a heat sink to extend LED life. The luminaire is designed to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C, and an optional natatorium finish is available for applications near indoor pools or other corrosive environments.
Extend 2 supports a range of driver options including standard 0-10V dimming drivers (DP/DPX), Lutron Hi-lume 1% EcoSystem drivers, DALI, DMX, and Xitanium SR for wireless control integration. Emergency lighting capabilities are also available with integral or remote battery packs. The system supports input voltages of 120V, 277V, 347V, and universal input (UNV), and includes built-in surge protection for added reliability.
Color performance options are equally flexible. Users can choose from CCTs of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K with a minimum CRI of 80 or 90, and excellent color consistency within a 3-step MacAdam ellipse. LEDs are rated for a minimum of 50,000 hours at 85% lumen maintenance in a 25°C environment, ensuring long-term lighting stability.
From transportation terminals and commercial streets to gymnasiums, pools, and outdoor shopping areas, Extend 2 offers a cost-effective and visually refined solution for any architectural lighting application requiring durability, design flexibility, and optical precision.
