The Skydome® surface mount backlit LED ceiling light delivers architectural-quality illumination for a variety of public and commercial spaces. Available in 2-foot, 3-foot, and 4-foot diameters, this ceiling fixture features a frosted acrylic lens that is textured on one side to ensure smooth light distribution. Its convex lens design, combined with precision LED placement, produces a uniformly illuminated diffuser, eliminating hotspots and enhancing visual comfort. Ideal for large, open areas, Skydome® is perfectly suited for airport concourses, spacious lobbies, reception areas, and meeting rooms. In addition, it is PoE compatible, integrating seamlessly with Power over Ethernet lighting systems through standard low-voltage wiring.
The performance of the Skydome® LED ceiling light is defined by its thoughtfully engineered optic system. The textured frosted lens softens and evenly spreads light, while the convex design and precision LED layout guarantee consistent illumination across the diffuser surface. Multiple lumen output options allow this fixture to accommodate a wide range of lighting requirements, from modest ambient lighting to high-output illumination for expansive areas.
Skydome® incorporates a robust linear LED module platform with premium LEDs designed for excellent thermal management and long-term reliability. LEDs are strategically positioned to provide a uniform appearance and are available in color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K, with CRI ratings exceeding 80 or 90. The 3500K and 4000K options with CRI>90 achieve a cyanosis observation index (COI) of 3.3 or less, ensuring color accuracy for critical visual tasks. Both LED modules and drivers are replaceable from below, providing easy maintenance and extended service life.
The fixture is constructed with a one-piece 18-gauge spun steel housing and a matching spun steel mounting plate. The lens and housing attach to the mounting plate with torsion springs, enabling quick installation and removal for service. Bottom access to the driver compartment further simplifies maintenance. Unit weights vary depending on diameter, with the 2-foot model weighing 23 lbs., the 3-foot model 50 lbs., and the 4-foot model 72 lbs. A 20-gauge steel reflector finished in high reflectance white powder coat enhances optical efficiency, while the convex acrylic lens is .125 inches thick and removable via torsion springs.
Electrical performance includes a standard 120-277V driver with 0-10V analog dimming and a power factor exceeding 0.9. Optional Lutron EcoSystem™ drivers are available for advanced dimming control. The fixture is UL and cUL listed, suitable for dry or damp indoor locations, and PoE compatible for integration with modern networked lighting systems. Lumen maintenance is excellent, with an L70 reported at over 54,000 hours and calculated at 76,000 hours based on EPA TM-21 standards.
Skydome® offers a wide range of lumen outputs to suit different applications and ceiling sizes. The 2-foot diameter models provide 2,000 to 4,000 lumens, the 3-foot models 4,000 to 9,000 lumens, and the 4-foot models 7,000 to 17,000 lumens. Color temperatures include 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, each available with either 80+ or 90+ CRI. The fixture is supplied in a single-circuit configuration and accommodates standard voltages of 120/277V, with low-voltage PoE options for advanced networked installations.
Skydome® is available in multiple finish options to complement architectural interiors. Standard finishes include Matte Satin White, Gloss White, Titanium Silver, Matte Black, Bay Blue Gloss, Fabulous Fuchsia Gloss, Golf Green Gloss, and Modest Mushroom Gloss, allowing designers to coordinate lighting seamlessly with surrounding decor. Its combination of high-quality illumination, durable construction, and flexible mounting options makes Skydome® an excellent solution for contemporary public and commercial spaces.
