The ARKUS linear suspended light family brings together cutting-edge optical performance and a refined architectural presence. Designed with InfinityWave™ Light Guide Technology, these luminaires feature a slender form factor with gracefully curved side walls that create a visually soft and comfortable light experience. Illumination flows seamlessly from a 2-inch or 3-inch chamber, enhanced by the organic curvature of the exterior, making the fixture as much an artistic statement as it is a functional lighting solution.
At the core of ARKUS is the balance of striking design and sustainable performance. Carrying a Declare Label for transparency and environmental responsibility, the suspended system delivers up to 165 lumens per watt and 750 lumens per foot, all while maintaining a low Unified Glare Rating (UGR) of less than 15. Designers can select from a range of optical distributions, including direct, direct/indirect, indirect, and indirect batwing, expanding the flexibility of the system for diverse architectural applications.
Engineered to elevate environments and enhance the human experience, ARKUS moves beyond conventional lighting by blending modern precision with organic form. Whether specified in linear runs or shaped configurations starting at just two feet and extendable in four-inch increments, the system transforms ordinary ceilings into captivating design features. Its organic and modern profiles complement both minimal and expressive architectural concepts, uniting performance and aesthetic value in one elegant package.
The technical performance of ARKUS underscores its versatility. The fixture offers direct output up to 525 lumens per foot and indirect output up to 750 lumens per foot, with a choice of correlated color temperatures from 2700K to 4000K and CRI options of 80 or 90+ for accurate color rendering. Power consumption ranges from 2 to 5 watts per foot, ensuring efficiency without compromising output. Optics are available in multiple configurations—low glare, Lambertian, widespread, batwing, and asymmetric—giving designers precise control over distribution.
Integration is seamless, with support for integral or remote drivers and compatibility with a full suite of dimming protocols including eldoLED, DALI, 0-10V, DMX, phase dimming, Lutron, and PoE platforms such as Molex, NuLEDs, and WTEC Smartengine. The system also pairs with advanced embedded controls from Acuity nLight, Casambi, Enlighted, Lutron Athena, NX Controls, and many others, enabling adaptability for smart building environments.
Constructed from durable 6063-T6 extruded aluminum, ARKUS is offered in 16 standard powder coat finishes with custom and two-tone options available. Rated for indoor dry or damp locations, it comes with a five-year warranty and contributes toward WELL Building Standard™ projects when specified with appropriate configurations. With its blend of sustainability, efficiency, and architectural beauty, ARKUS redefines the role of suspended linear lighting in contemporary spaces.
