Loop Suspended with Radial Anidolic optics represents a significant advancement in the fusion of architecture and human-centric lighting design. This contemporary linear LED luminaire features cutting-edge optical technology that transforms how light is distributed, perceived, and integrated into modern environments. Its small-scale, transparent lens contains Radial Anidolic optics that provide a precise, highly efficacious, and axially symmetric lighting distribution, allowing for seamless harmony with modern industrial aesthetics and architectural intent.
At the core of Loop Suspended’s innovation is the 360° batwing distribution achieved through Radial Anidolic optical elements. These structures emit a wide-angle indirect output while delivering symmetrical light on all horizontal planes for exceptional visual comfort and uniformity. The result is a luminous field that reduces glare and enhances the experience of the space from every viewing angle. The precision extraction within the optical system ensures clean, controlled illumination that supports both occupant comfort and design performance.
One of the defining features of Loop Suspended is its independent Up and Down light control. The fixture provides fully dimmable or switchable control of the upper and lower hemispherical distributions, allowing lighting designers and end users to tune the atmosphere of multipurpose rooms, collaborative areas, or conference spaces to suit dynamic visual and energy needs. Loop U|D is configured with a standard distribution of 55% uplight and 45% downlight, offering a maximum delivered output of 4,200 lumens and maintaining a strong balance between ambient and task lighting.
To complement its suspended version, the Loop family also includes recessed luminaires, enabling a coherent lighting language across ceiling planes and spatial scales. Fixtures are available in 4 ft, 6 ft, and 8 ft nominal lengths and can be joined together to form continuous luminous runs. All Loop luminaires are delivered with pre-wired and tested drivers, fully integrated within the power junction box, mounting, and suspension system for fast, reliable installation in new or retrofit grid, drywall, or hard-lid ceiling applications.
Constructed from anodized, extruded, and machined architectural-grade aluminum, Loop Suspended combines durability with design elegance. Precision-machined joints and endcaps come factory preinstalled to ensure a seamless appearance, while stainless steel fasteners and aircraft cable suspensions provide structural integrity. Finish options include clear anodized aluminum or powdercoated surfaces in white, metallic silver, or black, with standard white canopies for a refined finish.
The optical system uses Radial Anidolic structures with finely detailed extraction elements to form a 360° downlight batwing distribution. High-transmittance clear acrylic lenses enhance performance, and the long-life mid-flux LED system ensures dependable illumination with lumen maintenance rated at ≥L90 over 60,000 hours. Color quality is supported across a range of correlated color temperatures—3000K, 3500K, and 4000K—offering CRI options ≥80 with R9≥0, or CRI≥90 with R9≥50, all with accurate color binning at ≤2 SDCM.
Electrically, Loop is designed for efficiency and simplicity. No on-site wiring is required at the fixture level, as low-voltage power cords come preinstalled. Multivolt high-efficiency drivers operate at 120–277V and can be paired with a transformer for 347V systems. These drivers meet stringent performance standards, including Power Factor >0.90, THD <20%, and dimming levels from 3% standard down to 0.1% optionally. Surge protection complies with ANSI C82.11 and IEEE C62.41, and inrush current is controlled per NEMA 410.
Emergency operation is supported via an optional battery pack delivering 10W of Class 2 rated output for 90 minutes, typically producing 1150–1750 lumens depending on efficacy. An optional GTD (Generator Transfer Device) bypasses dimming controls during power loss to ensure maximum emergency illumination.
Designed for dry or damp indoor environments with ambient temperatures from 0–30°C (32–86°F), Loop Suspended must be protected from corrosive chemicals, including chlorine, solvents, ammonia, alcohol, or sulfur. Maintenance is simple—cleaning is limited to wiping with a damp, soft cloth. The fixture is not intended for use in natatoriums or areas with excessive chemical exposure.
Loop Suspended is a testament to what’s possible when modern optics, advanced LED technology, and human-centric design intersect. It invites designers to break from convention, embrace circular geometry, and elevate the quality of light in today’s architectural environments.
