The Seem 1 is a narrow 1.5-inch aperture slot LED luminaire designed to integrate seamlessly from wall to ceiling, creating a clean and unobtrusive architectural statement. Its minimalist profile makes it an ideal solution for applications where a small yet powerful linear slot is required, offering designers the freedom to extend continuous runs or transition gracefully between wall and ceiling planes. This sleek recessed system delivers uninterrupted lines of light that elevate the aesthetic of conference rooms, offices, reception areas, and other commercial environments.
At its core, the Seem 1 utilizes proprietary linear LED modules mounted on a robust platform to achieve both thermal stability and optical performance. The LEDs are precisely positioned to ensure uniform illumination with no visible pixels or shadows, while a frosted acrylic lens contributes to smooth, continuous light distribution. Available in lumen packages ranging from 125 to 625 lumens per foot, the system provides output levels suitable for a wide variety of applications. Color temperatures include 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K with options for 80 or 90 CRI, ensuring excellent color rendering with accuracy within 3 SDCM. For healthcare and specialized environments, select configurations meet stringent visual comfort standards. All LED modules and drivers are replaceable from below, extending the service life of the fixture.
Engineered for performance and longevity, the Seem 1 offers exceptional lumen maintenance with reported L70 values beyond 61,000 hours and calculated performance reaching 470,000 hours. Even at higher thresholds, L90 is maintained beyond 61,000 hours and calculated at over 115,000 hours, making it a dependable lighting solution for long-term installations.
The fixture’s construction features a one-piece extruded aluminum housing paired with 20-gauge steel end caps. Reflectors are fabricated from 22-gauge steel finished in a high-reflectance white powder coat, further enhancing optical efficiency. The housing is designed for new construction applications and is compatible with drywall, hard surface, and even wood ceiling-to-wall conditions when specified. Mud-in trimless options are available to achieve a flush, integrated finish. An eight-foot unit weighs approximately 15 pounds, providing a durable yet manageable installation.
Electrical integration comes pre-wired from the factory with branch circuit wiring and over-molded quick connects. The standard constant current driver operates on 120–277V and includes 0–10V dimming capability with power factor greater than 0.9. Options are available for more advanced control protocols, including 0–10V down to 1%, Lutron Hi-Lume EcoSystem with 1% dimming, and DALI with 1% dimming. The system is also available with a 347V driver for specific project requirements. For life safety applications, an emergency battery pack option provides 10 watts of output for 90 minutes, and emergency circuits are available with minimum fixture lengths as specified.
Seem 1 is UL and cUL listed for dry or damp locations and intended for indoor use only. The fixture’s housing receives a polyester powder coat applied over a multi-stage pre-treatment process to ensure durability and finish consistency. A standard matte white housing is available, with additional finish options upon request. For projects in New York City, factory-installed flex whip options are available to meet local code requirements.
This versatile system can be specified in individual units or continuous runs with one-foot incremental lengths, allowing designers to match exact project dimensions. Typical configurations include wall-to-ceiling corner conditions with trimless drywall integration, hard surface non-drywall options, or wood applications. The luminaire provides unmatched design flexibility for architects and lighting designers looking to unify surfaces with a seamless line of light while maintaining superior performance, visual comfort, and longevity.
