Le Louvre Systems™ Suspended Continuous introduces a striking new concept in louver technology that is revolutionizing the linear lighting category by elevating glare control to unprecedented levels. Its award-winning design features a diagonal cross-hatched louver construction shaped into a soft concave form, delivering not only exceptional visual comfort but also an elegant flair that surpasses traditional linear lighting. The louvers come in various finishes including white for enhanced performance, black for optimal glare control, and rich satinized options such as chrome, gold, and champagne, ideal for sophisticated interior designs. This system enables the creation of continuous lighting layouts through its new Systems option.
The fixture’s body is crafted from aluminum with a durable powder-coated finish, suspended by sleek steel cables that complement its refined aesthetic. A silver braided power cable adds to the premium detailing of the design. Le Louvre Systems™ can be seamlessly integrated into your data network using Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity, offering modern flexibility. For circadian lighting applications, consultation with the factory is recommended to utilize BIOS technology.
Equipped with high-performance electronic drivers suitable for 120-277V and 347V (EU-240V) power supplies, the driver is built directly into the fixture housing to maintain a streamlined profile. The diffuser is made of opal acrylic with a 2.4-inch width, designed to provide a soft, evenly distributed light output. Delivered lumens and lumens per watt are based on 4000K color temperature with a CRI of 80+, ensuring quality illumination.
Installation is straightforward, with luminaires mounting directly over standard junction boxes supplied by others. The system demonstrates remarkable longevity, with reported L70 ratings exceeding 60,000 hours at 2000 lumens per foot (6000 lumens per meter) and an estimated L70 lifespan surpassing 165,000 hours under the same conditions. An integral emergency option is available, providing up to 1.5 hours of emergency lighting in North America and 3 hours in the EU. This self-contained system includes an inverter module, NiCad batteries, LED charge indicator, and a test switch, although it is not compatible with 347V power supplies.
Le Louvre Systems™ supports compatibility with a wide array of sensors and lighting controls, including Avi-On, Casambi, Enlighted, Lutron Vive, nLight, NX Lighting Controls, Osram, Philips, and others; the factory should be consulted for specific integrations. Additional options include tunable white light ranging from 2700K to 6500K and RGBW configurations, both available upon request. The system is damp rated, ensuring suitability for various environments.
Designed by Serge Cornelissen, Le Louvre Systems™ also offers seismic bracing kits to comply with regulatory requirements for earthquake-prone areas, with details available through the factory. This comprehensive lighting solution balances advanced technology, elegant design, and practical features for high-performance, customizable illumination.
