The Dart linear wall mount direct/indirect LED luminaire is designed to deliver high performance while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive profile that integrates effortlessly into architectural spaces. Despite its petite form, Dart provides a powerful lighting solution that enhances both visual comfort and workplace productivity. Its defining feature is the Gradient Optic, a precision-engineered sawtooth reflector that softens the cut-off line on surrounding walls and vertical structures. This technology not only eliminates harsh edges but also directs light downward through the lens while dampening brightness directly above the luminaire. For applications where fixtures are installed near walls, the optional Beam Smoothing Diffuser further enhances performance by softening beam transitions to create an even more comfortable lighting environment.
To support healthy and visually balanced interiors, Dart offers the MicroGlow prismatic lens option, which provides brightness control and cut-off to reduce glare. These advanced optical systems make Dart ideal for environments where lighting quality directly contributes to occupant comfort and well-being. Up to 90 percent of its output is delivered as indirect asymmetric illumination, ensuring soft, uniform distribution that enhances architectural surfaces. Designers can choose between frosted acrylic or MicroGlow lens options to achieve the desired level of visual comfort and control.
The luminaire is equipped with the Right Light system, which provides three standard output levels and ensures consistent support of these levels over time. This means designers do not need to recalculate their designs for future projects, as performance is always guaranteed. Factory-programmable drivers allow for further customization within the standard output range, giving flexibility to balance light levels and energy consumption. With efficacies reaching up to 106 lumens per watt, Dart combines energy efficiency with design versatility.
Built with premium materials, Dart features a one-piece 22-gauge steel housing finished in a durable polyester powder coat applied over a multi-stage pre-treatment. Steel end caps attach flush to the housing for a seamless look, while internal brackets create clean hairline joints in continuous row installations. The luminaire is lightweight and manageable, with unit weights ranging from 8 pounds for a 4-foot fixture to 19 pounds for an 8-foot fixture, making installation straightforward.
Inside, the linear LED system incorporates high-quality LEDs mounted on a robust platform for excellent thermal management and longevity. Color options include 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, all with CRI greater than 80 and color consistency maintained within 3 SDCM. LED boards and drivers are fully replaceable for long-term serviceability. Lumen maintenance is excellent, with reported L70 at 60,000 hours and calculated performance extending to 130,000 hours, while L90 values are rated at more than 77,000 hours, ensuring years of reliable operation.
Dart supports a wide range of lighting controls to meet the demands of modern, connected environments. Standard drivers provide 0-10V dimming with smooth adjustment from 100 to 1 percent, and additional options include Lutron Hi-Lume EcoSystem, DALI dimming at both 1 and 10 percent, and step dimming capabilities. Emergency lighting support is also available with 12-watt battery backup systems providing 90 minutes of operation, making Dart a dependable solution for critical spaces.
This luminaire is UL and cUL listed for dry or damp locations, suitable for indoor use only, and backed by a five-year limited warranty. By combining advanced optical design, high-performance LED technology, durable construction, and versatile lighting controls, Dart elevates the role of linear wall-mounted luminaires beyond illumination alone. It transforms vertical surfaces into softly lit canvases, contributes to acoustic and visual comfort, and ensures a lighting environment that supports health, well-being, and architectural expression across commercial, educational, and workplace applications.
