Le Louvre™ Continuous Recessed reimagines linear lighting by redefining louver technology with a bold new visual language and exceptional performance. This award-winning fixture features a distinctive diagonal cross-hatched louver design sculpted into a soft concave profile, delivering superior glare control and visual comfort while adding a layer of elegance and sophistication. The result is a disruptive aesthetic that balances high-end design with advanced lighting functionality—an innovation rarely seen in traditional linear luminaires. Louvers are available in white for optimized light performance, black for maximum glare mitigation, and luxurious satinized metallic finishes including chrome, gold, and champagne to complement refined interior palettes.
Constructed from durable aluminum and finished in a powder-coated surface, Le Louvre™ offers long-term reliability and architectural versatility. The luminaire houses high power factor (HPF) electronic drivers for 120–277V and 347V input (EU-240V), integrated directly into the fixture body for clean ceiling integration. The 2.4-inch-wide opal acrylic diffuser ensures soft, uniform illumination, with an optional RGBW configuration or tunable white system that spans 2700K to 6500K, allowing designers to precisely tailor the lighting atmosphere. For circadian lighting needs, BIOS integration is available through factory consultation.
Le Louvre™ is designed for standard grid ceilings, making installation seamless. Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability supports smart building infrastructure, while an optional integral emergency system provides 1.5 hours of backup (3 hours in EU models) via a self-contained module with NiCad batteries, LED indicator, and test switch (not compatible with 347V supply). The fixture's performance is validated by a reported L70 of over 60,000 hours at 1200 lumens per foot (3600 lumens per meter) and an estimated L70 exceeding 149,000 hours under standard conditions. Delivered lumens are based on 4000K with a CRI of 80+.
Certified for damp locations and designed by Serge Cornelissen, Le Louvre™ is not only a high-performance linear lighting system but also an artistic statement—blending innovation, technology, and visual poetry into modern architectural ceilings.
