The Sculpt Pendant by Axis offers a refined, streamlined aesthetic ideal for introducing rhythm and movement into architectural spaces. Its minimalist design integrates effortlessly into ceiling layouts, with compact ceiling kits that accommodate essential infrastructure elements such as sprinklers, speakers, and HVAC vents. Despite its sleek profile, Sculpt delivers high visual comfort, beginning with a controlled luminance output of 300 lumens per foot. When additional illumination is required, users can easily expand the lighting scheme by incorporating more linear forms or light patterns.
This pendant system redefines lighting control with advanced capabilities that far surpass traditional fluorescent bi-level switching. Continuous dimming is standard, enabling nuanced illumination throughout Sculpt’s linear configurations and geometric ceiling kits. Designers can implement layered lighting using a combination of daylight and occupancy sensors, delivering light precisely when and where it is needed. This flexibility opens new aesthetic and energy-saving opportunities for interior environments.
Sculpt Pendant systems also enable independent or grouped control of direct and indirect light components. With lengths starting at four feet, users can select between a single-driver setup or separate drivers for nuanced control—such as in educational settings where different lighting layers are activated based on occupancy or daylight. Additionally, Sculpt supports targeted emergency lighting solutions by circuiting specific portions of the ceiling kit for egress paths, extending generator life while ensuring visual clarity.
Geometric lighting is a core innovation of the Sculpt Pendant line, which breaks away from traditional 2x2 and 2x4 ceiling grid formats. Axis enables a drag-and-drop design approach that supports never-before-seen patterns, with clean, precise light traces that contribute to a minimalistic ceiling profile. The patent-pending system uses illuminated corners and refined hairline joints for seamless integration. Integrated components like the MiniFlange simplify installation by eliminating the need for secondary T-bars, while the T-Aligner stabilizes and aligns grids effortlessly.
The Sculpt Pendant is available in standard lengths ranging from 2 to 12 feet, with custom sizes also supported. Options include 80 or 90 CRI for superior color rendering and a wide range of color temperatures—2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K—with tight consistency within a 3-step MacAdam ellipse. For tunable and wellness lighting, BIOS and Axitune systems are available. BIOS SkyBlue® technology supports dynamic circadian lighting with Bio-Dimming™, while TW drivers allow independent control of CCT and intensity. Options range from static spectrums to dynamic CCT shifts between 4000K and 2700K.
Constructed for durability and thermal performance, the Sculpt Pendant features extruded aluminum housings, die-cast aluminum end caps and hangers, formed steel interior brackets, and injection-molded acrylic lenses. Thermal management is ensured through aluminum heat sinks that extend fixture life. The pendant system is UL2108 certified for use with either integral or remote drivers, and is suitable for dry or damp indoor environments with temperatures between 0°C and 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The Sculpt system supports continuous runs using 4', 8', and 12' sections, assembled on-site with Axis’s specialized joining system to accommodate extended lighting designs.
Drivers and control options are equally versatile, with support for Lutron Hi-lume 1% EcoSystem (LDE1), DALI, DMX, Xitanium SR, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and BIOS configurations including STC (static), DYN (dynamic), and BTW (tunable white). Each driver type facilitates integration with building management systems and supports layered illumination, energy-saving protocols, and wellness-focused applications.
Sculpt Pendant from Axis is a pioneering solution in geometric and linear architectural lighting, combining visual elegance, intelligent control, and system flexibility in a single, high-performance platform.
