This surface mount edge-lit LED ceiling light combines modern design, high performance, and biophilic aesthetics to elevate commercial interiors. The luminaire features a shallow housing, available in nominal 2', 3', and 4' diameters, with low profile heights of 2.9" and 3.9". Its sharp knife-edge design provides a sophisticated architectural appearance, while optional soft uplight creates a subtle floating effect, enhancing spatial ambiance. The fixture can be specified in The Naturals series, a collection of nature-inspired finishes that evoke the calming beauty of natural materials. PoE compatibility allows seamless integration with Power over Ethernet lighting systems through standard, low-voltage wires, offering advanced control and energy efficiency.
The edge-lit design ensures uniform illumination across the frosted acrylic lens, delivering comfortable ambient light while maintaining visual clarity. An optional sound-absorbing acoustic companion is available, allowing designers to achieve desired reverberation levels while maintaining a coordinated aesthetic. This versatility makes the luminaire suitable for a variety of commercial applications, including airport concourses, large lobbies, reception areas, and conference rooms, where both functional and ambient lighting are critical.
The LED system incorporates premium LEDs on a robust platform, carefully positioned to promote uniform appearance and excellent thermal management. The LEDs are available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, with either 80+ or 90+ CRI. For 3500K and 4000K with CRI>90, the cyanosis observation index (COI) is 3.3 or less, ensuring high-quality color rendering suitable for both public and professional spaces. LED modules and drivers are fully replaceable for easy maintenance and long-term serviceability.
Constructed with extruded aluminum housing, a one-piece ABS plastic top cover, and a one-piece 16 Ga. steel mounting plate, the fixture is both durable and lightweight, with unit weights of 24 lbs for the 2' model, 48 lbs for the 3' model, and 82 lbs for the 4' model. The optic consists of an 18 Ga. steel reflector finished in High Reflectance White powder coat and a regressed 0.118" thick acrylic lens, ensuring precise light control and a high-quality finish.
Electrical components include a standard 120-277V driver with 0-10V analog dimming and a power factor above 0.9. Optional Lutron Hi-Lume EcoSystem and DALI drivers are available, while low-voltage PoE integration is supported for advanced building control systems. The fixture also accommodates emergency battery backup via the Bodine BSL6LST, providing six watts of output for 90 minutes, with a maximum mounting height of 14.25 feet.
Finish options include standard polyester powder coating applied over a multi-stage pre-treatment, as well as The Naturals series, which uses 100% low VOC vinyl for an environmentally friendly and visually appealing surface. Custom RAL colors are also available to match specific design requirements. The luminaire achieves long-term performance with reported L70 at over 61,000 hours and calculated L70 at 221,000 hours, while L90 performance is rated at 57,000 hours, derived using the EPA TM-21 calculator under typical conditions.
This surface mount edge-lit LED ceiling light offers multiple lumen output options, including 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7000, 9000, 11,000, and 14,000 lumens, with direct or indirect distribution via subtle glow uplight. Color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K ensure design flexibility while maintaining superior color rendering. Single circuit operation supports both standard and 347V applications, and the fixture is UL and cUL listed for dry or damp indoor locations. Its combination of low-profile design, high-quality edge-lit performance, acoustic adaptability, and biophilic finishes makes it ideal for a wide range of modern commercial interiors.
