When technology transforms and design transcends, Portal emerges as a reimagined approach to both directional and general area illumination. This unified fixture family introduces a minimalist, architectural aesthetic made possible by proprietary optics that deliver exceptional visual comfort and control across a wide range of environments. With its clean geometry and adaptable configurations, Portal offers a cohesive design language that integrates naturally into any architectural context.
The versatility of the Portal family is evident in its wide array of forms and mounting options. Portal Recessed adds indirect optical distributions that enhance spatial differentiation, while Portal Semi-Recessed includes both fixed and field-adjustable models. This dual-axis adjustability provides maximum flexibility for a multitude of applications and spaces. Whether bold or minimal, quiet or expressive, Portal offers the right solution with performance measured in degrees of visual comfort and lighting control.
Breakthrough optical technology transforms LED point sources into pure architectural geometry. Circular anidolic optical structures, integrated with high-transmittance acrylic lenses, precisely shape and extract light, resulting in multiple lower hemisphere distributions with efficacies reaching up to 150 lumens per watt. With narrow, medium, and wide beam spread options, designers can achieve exacting levels of illumination tailored to specific applications.
Portal fixtures are available in various diameters and form factors, with both trim and trimless versions suited for new construction or retrofit installations in grid or gypsum wallboard ceilings. Precision-machined housings are constructed from architectural-grade aluminum and 22-gauge steel, finished in powder-coated white, metallic silver, or black. All finishes are selectable by component at no additional cost, and custom RAL colors are available for design-specific needs. Recessed and semi-recessed models feature a color-matched, paintable center driver access panel to maintain a clean, integrated appearance.
Delivering quality illumination with minimal energy consumption, Portal utilizes the latest LED technology and high-efficiency drivers. Lumen packages span a wide output range, and all models are IC rated for insulated ceiling compatibility. Standard color temperatures include 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, offered in either CRI ≥80 with R9 ≥0 or CRI ≥90 with R9 ≥50, all within 2-step MacAdam ellipse binning for excellent color consistency.
Each fixture is powered by integral high-efficiency drivers operating at 50–60Hz, 120–277V or 347V. These drivers offer high power factor and low total harmonic distortion, with dimming capabilities down to 3% as standard, and optional performance down to 1% or even 0.1%. An optional 6-foot prewired flex whip simplifies installation. Surge protection meets ANSI C82.11 and IEEE C62.41 standards, and inrush current performance complies with NEMA 410 requirements.
Emergency options include a 10W Class 2 battery pack providing 90 minutes of output and a generator transfer device (GTD) that disables dimming control during emergencies to ensure full light output. Recommended wire gauges for remote power mounting are 18 AWG for 30 feet, 14 AWG for 50 feet, and 12 AWG for 80 feet to minimize voltage drop.
Portal luminaires are suitable for dry or damp indoor environments with ambient temperatures between 0–30°C (32–86°F). Care should be taken to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals such as solvents, chlorine, or ammonia, which may damage the fixture and are not covered by warranty. These luminaires are not suitable for high-humidity environments such as swimming pools or saunas. Cleaning should be done gently using only a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Compliant with a wide range of certifications, Portal is UL Listed for the U.S. and Canada, CCEA Chicago Plenum rated, IC rated, and meets the criteria for Energy Star and Title 24 JA8-2019 (for 90 CRI versions). Additionally, Portal is Living Building Challenge (LBC) Declared, supporting sustainable design practices.
Portal is not just a lighting product—it is a platform for architectural integration, bringing together visual precision, optical innovation, and performance-driven design in a family of luminaires that align seamlessly with the intent of contemporary spaces.
