The Round LightPlane 1 (3D) is an innovative modular lighting system that combines one-inch diameter light bars with engineered joiners to unlock nearly limitless design flexibility. Developed as a suite of customizable components, it allows architects, designers, and lighting professionals to assemble tailored structures that range from clean, geometric patterns to imaginative, freeform compositions. With interchangeable parts, lengths, hubs, finishes, and illumination options, this system is designed to transform a simple collection of bars and connectors into personalized lighting sculptures that reflect the unique character of any space.
Compact in scale yet powerful in performance, the one-inch aperture accommodates 2- to 4-foot illuminated sections as well as blank bars for seamless integration and rhythm within a design. The Round LightPlane 1 (3D) can be configured for surface mounting on ceilings or for ADA-compliant flush wall installations, making it a versatile choice for commercial interiors, hospitality spaces, or contemporary architectural environments. Six distinct hub configurations provide right-angle connections that expand the possibilities for creating linear runs, angular patterns, or multidimensional arrays. This system enables lighting designers to explore thousands of design variations, adapting the form precisely to the geometry and function of a given space.
Performance is equally refined. White LED modules deliver approximately 476 lumens per foot with a power consumption of just 4.6 watts per foot, ensuring energy efficiency alongside visual impact. Multiple distribution options are available, including blank, single, or double illuminated sections that allow for direct, indirect, or combined lighting effects. Color temperatures range from 2700K to 4000K with CRI values of 80 or 90+, ensuring excellent color rendering for diverse environments. The extruded twin-layered acrylic lens provides extra diffuse light with minimal source visibility, balancing efficiency with visual comfort.
Control and driver options are extensive, supporting integration into virtually any building system. Dimming compatibility includes 0-10V down to 5%, DALI and DMX flicker-free dimming to 0%, and advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) driver solutions from Molex, Igor, and NuLEDS. Remote driver placement offers flexibility for installation, and optional emergency circuits (EMC) can be included for code compliance and safety.
Durability and quality are central to the Round LightPlane 1 (3D). The housing is constructed from extruded 6061 aluminum, which is 100% recyclable and designed for long-lasting performance. The system is ETL Listed and conforms to UL 2108 and CSA C22.2#250.0:2008 standards, ensuring compliance for dry or damp locations. A wide array of finish options enhances its adaptability, with 18 standard ALW finishes offered at no additional cost, including anodized, satin, gloss, metallic, and basic powder coats. For designers seeking unique expressions, RAL and stock colors from Tiger Drylac and TCI, as well as custom color matching, are available.
In practice, the Round LightPlane 1 (3D) integrates clean aesthetics, precision engineering, and design flexibility, making it an ideal choice for architectural lighting applications that demand both creativity and performance. Whether installed as a subtle linear accent or an expansive sculptural centerpiece, it delivers tailored lighting solutions that combine artistry with advanced LED technology.
