FRAMED is a sleek, low-profile exterior luminaire designed to integrate seamlessly with building facades while adding subtle architectural character. Its dual illumination system—featuring both center and back lighting—creates a striking three-dimensional effect that enhances the depth and texture of otherwise flat surfaces. This layered lighting approach allows FRAMED to act not just as a source of illumination but as a design element in its own right, contributing to the visual language of the building’s exterior.
The aesthetic versatility of FRAMED is further expanded through its two-tone finish configuration. Designers can select separate finishes for the center panel and the perimeter frame, adding contrast and sophistication that elevate the fixture’s architectural presence. Whether used to highlight entryways, accent structural geometry, or simply enrich the nighttime landscape, FRAMED becomes an integral part of the building’s visual identity.
Constructed with a robust aluminum housing, FRAMED is built for long-term outdoor durability. It features exterior-grade powder-coated paint for resistance to UV exposure and weathering. A one-piece silicone gasket ensures a watertight seal, supporting its IP65 wet location rating. The high-impact acrylic diffuser, paired with a stainless steel reflector and silicone gasket, contributes to both visual comfort and efficient light performance.
FRAMED operates with a high-power-factor electronic driver and supports input voltages of 120–277V in North America and 240V in the EU. The luminaire is engineered to perform in a wide range of environments, with a minimum starting temperature of -20°C. It mounts directly over a standard electrical junction box for ease of installation in North American applications.
An optional remote emergency lighting system provides 1.5 hours of backup illumination (3 hours in the EU). This system includes a remote inverter module, NiCad batteries, and an LED charge indicator with test switch. The test switch, designed to fit a standard single-gang box, can be installed up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) from the luminaire, allowing for flexibility in placement and compliance with safety standards.
Performance is measured based on a 4000K color temperature and a minimum 80 CRI, ensuring both energy efficiency and quality of light. With its refined profile, dual-tone design potential, and architectural-grade construction, FRAMED is the perfect lighting solution for exterior spaces that demand both performance and aesthetic impact.
