The suspended linear LED light is designed to create an air of intrigue, glowing from a seemingly invisible source that establishes both function and architectural presence. Its distinctive form makes it a statement piece in any space, providing designers with a tool that balances performance and aesthetics. Available in lengths from 4 to 12 feet in one-foot increments, the fixture offers scalability and versatility for a wide range of applications.
A frosted acrylic diffuser produces an 80/20 indirect-to-direct light distribution, contributing to comfortable illumination and the ability to space luminaires widely while maintaining even coverage. The design incorporates a Power-Up suspension system, which delivers low-voltage power directly through the suspension cables. This eliminates the need for visible power cords, preserving a clean and minimal appearance while enhancing the architectural quality of the installation.
Engineered for superior performance, the luminaire offers Right Light™ output levels ranging from 500 to 1000 lumens per foot, ensuring tailored illumination for offices, conference rooms, hospitality environments, and other commercial applications. Premium LEDs are mounted on a robust platform that achieves excellent thermal management and ensures long-lasting performance. Color quality is supported by a CRI greater than 80, with color consistency maintained within 3 SDCM. Options for 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K color temperatures allow designers to match a range of project requirements.
The housing is constructed with precision: extruded aluminum rails with a profile of 0.08 inches combine with die-cast aluminum end caps for structural integrity. Weights vary by length, ranging from 7 pounds for a 4-foot unit to 20.8 pounds for a 12-foot unit, offering strength without excessive bulk. A matte white reflector made from extruded aluminum, paired with a 22-gauge gradient optic and an extruded acrylic lens, delivers a subtle glow and a refined visual quality. Satin white acrylic canopies provide below-ceiling access, and the canopies are field-paintable to support seamless integration into different interiors. Suspension is fully adjustable up to 96 inches, with longer options available upon request.
Electrical performance is equally refined. Standard operation includes a 120-277V constant current driver with 0-10V dimming, supporting both 10% and 1% dimming ranges. Drivers are replaceable and housed in a sheet metal enclosure above the ceiling or mounted on the surface in open ceiling applications. An emergency battery option provides 10W output for 90 minutes at mounting heights up to 8.83 feet, ensuring code compliance and safety in critical situations. The fixture is compatible with a wide range of building control systems, including DALI, Lutron EcoSystem, Acuity nLight, Wattstopper, Encelium, Current NX, and WaveLinx Pro. This enables integration with wired and wireless networks for advanced functions such as daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, HVAC integration, and zone reconfiguration through software.
Durability and sustainability are inherent in the design. The fixture is UL and cUL listed, suitable for dry and damp indoor locations. Polyester powder coat finishes are applied over a multi-stage pre-treatment process, ensuring long-lasting quality. Available finishes include Palladium Silver or White with White or Infinity interior end cap options, offering aesthetic personalization.
Obscura™ was conceived with the principle of “less is more,” uniting simplicity, efficacy, and elegance. The luminaire’s broad batwing distribution combines direct task lighting with soft indirect glow, supporting open and minimalistic architectural environments. Its streamlined profile, composed of two slender blades of light, creates a striking yet understated form that radiates powerful illumination while maintaining visual softness. As both a functional tool and an architectural statement, it delivers flexibility in lighting design, enhanced by compatibility with a range of connected solutions.
Through advanced controls and integrated technologies, Obscura™ supports modern building management systems. Designers and facility managers can monitor and adjust light levels, temperature, and occupancy patterns, delivering energy efficiency, cost savings, and occupant comfort. With its marriage of refined form, powerful performance, and adaptable control options, the luminaire exemplifies the next generation of suspended linear LED lighting.
