The Nera linear edge-lit LED pendant light embodies a contemporary interpretation of the visual void design philosophy, balancing solid and void elements to achieve a seamless relationship between light and architecture. Its design creates visual permeability, moving away from conventional fixture forms and celebrating the freedom and openness of space. The seamless mitered corners produce a one-piece visual flow, enhancing architectural harmony while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic that allows the light itself to define the form.
Nera’s form factor has been engineered for versatility and architectural integration. Available in 4-, 5-, 6-, and 8-foot lengths, the luminaires can be installed individually or joined into continuous rows to create longer runs. The interlocking die-cast joining system ensures precise alignment between sections, while evenly spaced suspension and power cables maintain both structural balance and visual consistency. The Power-Up™ suspension system delivers low-voltage power through the adjustable aircraft cables, eliminating the clutter of separate cords. All drivers and electrical gear are mounted above the ceiling or in surface-mounted enclosures for open ceiling conditions, ensuring a clean architectural presentation. White satin acrylic canopies provide ceiling access and can be field-painted to match project aesthetics.
The optical system of Nera employs a precision-engineered angular lens that delivers both direct and indirect light distribution. Designers can specify ratios such as 40/60, 60/40, or 70/30 to achieve the desired balance of ceiling brightness and downlight. Batwing indirect distribution provides uniform coverage and eliminates shadowing above the void, while the lower lens delivers a broad beam of direct light, configurable up to 60% for applications requiring greater downward emphasis. Right Light™ technology ensures consistent lumen packages across generations of upgrades, while tunable drivers allow custom wattage and output selections within the standard performance range. Standard outputs range from 625 to 1000 lumens per foot, with system efficacy reaching up to 115 lumens per watt.
Engineered with premium LEDs mounted on a robust thermal platform, Nera ensures longevity and reliable performance. Color temperature options include 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, each with a color rendering index greater than 80 and a three-step MacAdam ellipse for color consistency. The frosted acrylic optical diffuser, precision-formed from 0.125-inch extruded acrylic, creates uniform planes of light without hotspots. Durable extruded aluminum rails and die-cast aluminum end caps provide structural stability with lightweight construction, while a polyester powder coat finish over multi-stage pre-treatment ensures long-term durability. Fixture weights range from 4.8 pounds for the 4-foot unit to 9.8 pounds for the 8-foot unit.
Nera is designed for seamless integration into today’s advanced building systems. It is compatible with multiple control protocols, including 0-10V dimming, DALI, Lutron EcoSystem, Wattstopper DLM, Acuity nLight, Encelium CLM, Current NX Enabled, and WaveLinx Pro. PoE compatibility allows integration with Power over Ethernet networks using standard low-voltage wiring, enabling digital communication, individual zoning, and building-wide control. Features such as daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and HVAC integration contribute to energy savings, cost reduction, and occupant comfort. All Connected Solutions luminaires require a compatible control platform for full functionality. Standard emergency options include a 10-watt battery pack providing 90 minutes of operation at mounting heights up to 15 feet, or emergency circuit connections with UL924 compliance.
Designed for flexibility in installation, Nera supports grid, drywall, and open ceiling applications with a minimum mounting height of 12 inches. Adjustable aircraft suspension extends up to 96 inches, with custom lengths available. Multiple finish options, including white and palladium silver, allow further design customization. Performance is supported by long-term reliability, with lumen maintenance rated at L90 greater than 36,000 hours reported and calculated L90 beyond 100,000 hours per TM-21 projections using LM-80 data. UL and cUL listings ensure compliance for dry or damp locations, making Nera a robust solution for indoor applications.
Nera brings technical sophistication and design flexibility to a wide range of environments, from private offices and conference rooms to open workspaces and public areas. By merging architectural subtlety with powerful performance, it transforms ceilings into luminous canvases, delivering both visual elegance and advanced functionality.
