CovePlane is an indirect cove lighting solution that combines elegance, performance, and flexibility in a sleek architectural form. Designed with a refined 2-inch aperture, CovePlane delivers high-quality illumination through ALW’s proprietary InfinityWave™ Light Guide technology. This innovation creates a powerful and versatile light engine while maintaining a slim, unobtrusive profile. Standard configurations are available in straight sections from 1 to 6 feet, with customization options in precise 4-inch increments. The system also accommodates curves, shapes, and patterns, making it adaptable to a wide range of architectural applications. To further enhance design integration, CovePlane incorporates an innovative ±10° field-adjustable tilt mechanism, enabling fine-tuned aiming within coves of different sizes and geometries.
Performance is a hallmark of CovePlane, which achieves efficacies up to 140 lumens per watt with lumen outputs ranging from 150 to 1200 lumens per foot. The fixture supports a wide array of optical distributions, including Lambertian for even illumination and asymmetric narrow (45°) or wide (60°) options for directional control. These optics allow designers to deliver both functional and aesthetic lighting effects, enhancing architectural details while supporting human-centric lighting strategies. Offered in correlated color temperatures from 2700K to 4000K and in CRI options of 80 and 90+, CovePlane ensures high-quality, visually comfortable light in diverse environments.
The luminaire is designed for seamless integration into both standard Armstrong™ Axiom coves and custom as-built conditions. Its extruded aluminum body and acrylic lens system guarantee durability and performance, while a satin white finish comes standard, with additional finish options available upon request. The extra-diffused InfinityWave™ lens not only ensures smooth light distribution but also works in concert with the tilt feature to eliminate shadows and hot spots, producing uniform, visually striking illumination across surfaces.
CovePlane’s sustainability credentials add another layer of value, with Declare Label and Red List Approved options available at no additional cost, allowing it to meet stringent environmental and wellness-focused design standards. It is also equipped to support a variety of advanced control protocols, including 0–10V, phase dimming, DALI, DMX, eldoLED, and Lutron dimming systems, with dimming to 0% available on select models. Embedded control compatibility extends to leading smart and connected platforms such as Acuity nLight, Casambi, Avi-on, Cooper Wavelinx, Enlighted, Lutron Athena and Vive, NX Controls, Encelium, and Wattstopper, among others. Power consumption ranges from 1 to 11 watts per foot, providing designers with a balance of energy efficiency and performance.
Whether surface-mounted, ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or perimeter-integrated, CovePlane delivers versatile indirect illumination that elevates architectural spaces. By blending refined aesthetics, technical sophistication, and sustainable design practices, CovePlane serves as both a functional and artistic element in lighting design, enriching the built environment with layers of controlled, high-performance light.
