Extend™ is a high-performance architectural outdoor lighting solution designed to bring fluid visual continuity between indoor and outdoor environments. With its minimalist square profile and direct distribution optics, Extend creates graceful lines of light that enhance architectural features while delivering exceptional glare-free illumination. This luminaire is particularly ideal for areas where seamless integration between interior and exterior lighting is critical, offering the ability to support unified lighting aesthetics across terminal areas, transit hubs, public plazas, restaurant patios, commercial streets, and even indoor wet environments like natatoriums and gyms.
Built to withstand harsh environments, Extend features a sealed IP66-rated enclosure and optional IK10 impact resistance, making it suitable for extreme weather conditions, vandal-prone areas, and high-humidity spaces. The luminaire’s construction incorporates extruded aluminum housing with up to 70% recycled content, cast aluminum end caps, and silicone rubber gaskets for durable sealing. Tamper-proof external fasteners ensure security in public installations, while a concealed joiner system supports system runs beyond 12 feet, composed of 2' to 12' sections.
The optic options include flush (SO), wall wash, grazing, batwing, and asymmetric, allowing tailored beam distributions to suit the lighting requirements of a wide range of environments. Whether the goal is to softly illuminate walls, create dramatic architectural highlights, or ensure uniform coverage of public walkways, Extend provides both the flexibility and performance needed. The regressed, glare-controlled optics also improve safety by enhancing facial recognition and visual clarity in outdoor and transitional spaces.
Available in CCTs ranging from 2700K to 5000K with a minimum CRI of 80 or 90, Extend ensures color consistency within a 3-step MacAdam ellipse across fixtures. Tuned for longevity and thermal performance, the LED system delivers at least 50,000 hours of life at 85% lumen maintenance in 25°C ambient conditions, supported by an integrated aluminum heat sink structure that efficiently manages thermal output.
Extend is also control-ready with a wide array of dimming and control options, including 0-10V standard dimming, DPX extended range drivers (-40°C to +50°C), Lutron Hi-lume® EcoSystem, and compatibility with DALI, DMX, and Xitanium SR for smart sensor integration. Power-over-Ethernet and remote emergency battery pack options further expand system flexibility. Surge protection comes standard, ensuring reliable operation in electrically volatile outdoor environments.
Designed not only for resilience but also for elegance, Extend’s smooth architectural form, flush lensing, and concealed hardware elevate its visual appeal, aligning with modern design standards in both outdoor and indoor wet environments. With optional natatorium treatment and finish options to resist corrosion in chlorine-rich atmospheres, Extend adapts easily to specialty environments like swimming pools and spas.
From soffits and bus stops to rooftop restaurants and EV charging stations, Extend™ is a versatile, cost-effective LED lighting solution that enables designers to achieve bold architectural statements without compromising on durability, safety, or energy efficiency.
