The Crescent MoonRing with Rotatable Connectors is designed to transform open spaces into striking three-dimensional works of art. Each installation functions as a luminous sculpture, blending light, form, and color into a unique architectural statement. The fixture harnesses the versatility of LED technology, offering an expansive range of form factors combined with RAL Classic Colors and advanced mechanical engineering to create endless design possibilities.
Available with apertures of 1.5 inches or 3 inches, Crescent MoonRings can be specified in quarter-ring arcs with radii ranging from 24 inches to 96 inches, accommodating both short and tall wall options. The system allows rotation up to 20 degrees in either direction from the horizontal plane, enabling designers to fine-tune the orientation and visual dynamics of each installation. Mounting options include suspended configurations or direct ceiling mounting, providing flexibility for a wide variety of architectural applications.
Lighting performance is equally adaptable. Crescent MoonRings are offered in white LED packages with outputs ranging from 750 to 14,175 lumens, tunable white options spanning 2700K to 6500K, or full-color solutions including RGB and RGB+W. Distribution may be specified as direct or direct+indirect, with Lambertian output as the standard. The system operates between 11 and 140 watts and delivers high-quality illumination with CRI options of 80 or 90+. An extra-diffused opal acrylic lens ensures smooth, leak-free light distribution, while a milled lens design enhances visual comfort. For indirect applications, a high-transmission clear lens is available to boost lumen output by approximately 14%, though it reveals LED chips and is recommended only when the top of the fixture is not in view.
Crescent MoonRings are engineered for seamless integration with advanced dimming and control systems. Drivers are remote-mounted and compatible with 0-10V dimming down to 5%, 1%, or 0%, as well as DALI and DMX controls. Options include Lutron EcoSystem, LDE1 dimming to 1% with Soft-on, Fade-to-Black, and LTEA forward-phase (TRIAC) dimming. Control system compatibility extends to platforms such as Lutron Vive, Enlighted, EldoLED, nLight, Osram, and Philips, with additional options available upon request.
Mounting systems are engineered for both aesthetic impact and structural reliability. Standard suspension includes 4.5-inch white canopies at each power feed, bullet mounts, and 8-foot aircraft cables, with longer cables available. Central Axis Suspension consolidates all power feeds and aircraft cables into a 4.5-inch canopy, requiring an 18-inch minimum clearance from ceiling to fixture. For a more dramatic architectural presence, Central Collared Suspension employs a 15-inch decorative ring—finished to match the fixture body—that organizes all feeds and cables through a 5-inch canopy. Ceiling mount options allow for horizontal installations only and include three brackets per fixture, adding a subtle 0.27-inch height with surface hardware. Seismic bracing is available as an add-on, providing enhanced stability with specialized clamps and suspension components.
The Crescent MoonRing housing is constructed from extruded and welded 6061 aluminum with a 0.075-inch minimum wall thickness, ensuring durability and recyclability. Fixtures are available in 18 standard finishes, with special-order and custom color matching offered for complete design integration. Power cables are sheathed in transparent material to complement the steel aircraft suspension system. Custom cable solutions are available but must be specified at the time of order, as field replacement would void ETL safety certification and warranty coverage.
Crescent MoonRings are ETL listed to UL 2108 and CSA C22.2 standards and carry an 11-year limited warranty, underscoring their long-term performance and reliability. Suitable for dry locations, these sculptural luminaires merge artistry with precision engineering to deliver a lighting solution that is as technically advanced as it is visually captivating.
