MikroLite is a highly refined lighting system that blends upscale aesthetics with advanced optical performance, bringing a premium feel to any architectural space. It features an array of nine sophisticated finishes and a selection of baffle shapes that allow designers to craft personalized, expressive lighting environments. Whether your project calls for a sleek matte look, polished chrome, or a crystal finish that adds subtle sparkle, MikroLite adapts seamlessly to the visual language of the space it illuminates.
Engineered with two distinct types of cell optics—TIR (Total Internal Reflection) and reflector—MikroLite delivers a high degree of control over the light beam. The TIR optic positions the light source near the aperture for a crisp, focused beam with bold visual presence, while the reflector optic keeps the light deep within the cell, producing a quiet, soft beam with remarkably low glare. Each optic supports a range of beam angles, including 15°, 24°, 38°, and 50°, giving designers the flexibility to create environments tailored to specific lighting tasks, from ambient lighting in educational and office settings to precision-focused illumination in hospitality applications.
Sculpt MikroLite is the first high-performance linear micro downlight to deliver high CRI and glare-free illumination in a compact form factor. Recognized in the 2018 IES Progress Report, this solution merges exceptional performance with sleek design. It offers three baffle shapes and can be configured with up to four beam angles, making it versatile enough for any application. Sculpt MikroLite also supports continuous runs in 1-cell (1.45”) increments, including 90° corners, which opens the door for creative geometric designs and seamless integration into architectural layouts.
Stencil MikroLite offers similar flexibility, available in 1” and 1.25” widths to match the design needs of the Stencil Pendant, Stencil Surface, StencilFlex, and Slate 1. It can be ordered in continuous 12-cell increments or as standalone modules, with lengths ranging from 2’ to 8’. The Slate 1 variant can be combined with MikroLite’s spotless flush lens and accent modules to create visually compelling, low-glare downlighting solutions. Two new modern baffle designs add further elegance to this already refined system.
MikroLite takes a modular approach, allowing maximum flexibility and creative freedom. Fixtures can be specified to 1/32nd of an inch and assembled in scalable continuous runs. Designers can mix MikroLite cells with standard linear lens options and accent spots or use blank cells to maintain design continuity in unlit sections. These configurations are especially suited for architectural projects where form, performance, and flexibility must work in harmony.
The family of MikroLite finishes adds another layer of customization. The nine premium finishes include matte black, matte white, matte silver, matte rose gold, chrome black, chrome gold, chrome rose gold, chrome silver, and the distinctive crystal baffle. These finishes provide design versatility ranging from subtle, soft tones to reflective brilliance, ensuring the luminaire can integrate into or stand out from the architectural backdrop.
The latest evolution of the MikroLite platform is its integration into Sketch 2. Now, lighting designers can incorporate MikroLite into curved configurations, offering radius compatibility of over 18” in single-cell 1.45” increments. Sketch 2 with MikroLite supports both full low-glare fixtures and discrete curved downlight modules, allowing for fluid, organic lighting compositions without sacrificing performance or control.
With outputs up to 1000 lumens per foot and efficacies reaching 115 lm/W, MikroLite doesn’t just look good—it performs at a high level. Whether part of Sculpt, Stencil, Slate, or Sketch systems, MikroLite empowers designers to redefine what’s possible in architectural lighting by merging visual comfort, precision optics, and unmatched aesthetic versatility.
