The narrow 2.5-inch aperture curvilinear suspended direct/indirect architectural LED lighting system is designed to bring a refined and modern expression to architectural spaces. Its curving form enables designers to create sweeping lines of light with seamless continuity, while its compact profile delivers both functionality and aesthetics. The luminaire uses a flush lens for direct illumination, complemented by Lambertian and Batwing indirect optics that deliver uniform brightness and exceptional visual comfort. The result is a lighting system that balances performance and beauty, offering architects and lighting designers the ability to shape soft curves, rounded corners, and flowing forms of illumination.
Performance is at the forefront of the system’s design. Direct and indirect lumen outputs can be specified separately to achieve precise distribution and visual control for each environment. Proprietary curvilinear LED boards ensure smooth, shadow-free light with no visible pixels, and the combination of LED positioning and premium lens materials is optimized to deliver a blend of high efficiency and comfort. With options ranging from Lambertian direct and indirect to Batwing indirect distributions, the system provides versatile solutions for spaces that demand tailored lighting quality.
This curvilinear luminaire makes a striking statement in commercial offices, educational environments, healthcare facilities, transit hubs, and hospitality venues, where both form and function are paramount. It integrates seamlessly with other Seem 2 luminaires, enabling designers to achieve cohesive aesthetics throughout a project. The frosted acrylic lens provides uninterrupted light along runs of up to eight feet, while its edge-to-edge design ensures consistency across complex patterns and layouts. Its compatibility with Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems further enhances flexibility, enabling integration into modern low-voltage infrastructure.
The luminaire’s construction features extruded aluminum housing paired with cast aluminum end caps for durability and precise detailing. Reflectors are fabricated from high-quality steel with a high-reflectance white finish, and the satin-finish extruded acrylic lens contributes to glare-free performance. At eight feet in length, the system weighs just 25 pounds, allowing it to be suspended with confidence while maintaining a light visual footprint. Canopies and cords are supplied in white as standard, blending into ceilings for a clean architectural look.
Equipped with robust electrical systems, each luminaire is pre-wired with factory-installed branch circuit wiring and over-molded quick connects for efficient installation. The standard 120-277V constant current driver provides smooth 0-10V dimming, while optional dimming protocols such as DALI and Lutron expand control capabilities. PoE integration allows luminaires to be powered and controlled through low-voltage wiring, although each section requires its own independent PoE node and power feed. For life-safety compliance, an emergency battery option provides 10 watts of output for up to 90 minutes at mounting heights of up to 20 feet.
Designed for longevity, the LED modules and drivers are fully replaceable and engineered for superior thermal management. The system offers color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K with CRI greater than 80 or 90, with higher CRI models providing cyanosis observation indices of 3.3 or less. Exceptional lumen maintenance ensures reliability, with reported performance of L70 at over 72,000 hours and calculated values extending to 211,000 hours.
The curvilinear system offers extensive design flexibility, with a variety of radii and angles available to create custom layouts. Designers can specify “L,” “U,” “S,” “Z,” and rectangular patterns, mixing linear and curved sections to create sweeping architectural gestures. Radii from 12 to 60 inches support a wide range of applications, while angle options allow precise shaping of corners and transitions. Rounded end caps are available for a softer finish, and custom colors may be specified in addition to the standard matte white, matte black, and palladium silver.
With its sophisticated engineering and versatile design options, this curvilinear suspended LED lighting system redefines architectural illumination. It delivers seamless light, advanced performance, and cohesive aesthetics, making it a powerful solution for contemporary environments where lighting plays an essential role in defining both space and experience.
