The Ladder 2 (LD2) is a sleek, surface-mounted LED luminaire developed from the LightPlane 2 platform, designed to deliver refined indirect illumination in a low-profile form. With a body measuring just 2-1/4 inches wide and a 9/16-inch reveal lens, it integrates cleanly into architectural environments while maintaining an elegant, minimal presence. Individual sections are available in lengths ranging from 2 to 8 feet, with adjustable arm extensions from 4 inches up to 36 inches, offering flexibility for different spatial requirements. All drivers are fully integral to the fixture, ensuring a streamlined appearance free from visible hardware.
Engineered for versatility, the Ladder 2 offers a wide range of lighting configurations. It is available in standard LED with 80+ or 90+ CRI, and users can select from fixed color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K, as well as tunable white ranging from 2700K to 5700K. Dynamic options include RGB and RGB+White, making the luminaire suitable for both architectural and decorative lighting applications. Light distribution is indirect, providing a soft yet powerful glow that enhances ceiling planes and architectural volumes without glare.
The fixture supports multiple control protocols with integral drivers, including 0–10V, DALI, DMX, and Lutron EcoSystem, with smooth dimming capabilities from 5% down to blackout. For added functionality, the Ladder 2 can integrate with a selection of remote sensor options, such as Lutron Vive wireless controls, Enlighted smart sensors with occupancy, daylight, and networking capabilities, or 0–10V occupancy and daylight sensors. These options allow the luminaire to seamlessly adapt to advanced lighting control strategies in modern spaces.
Emergency preparedness is also built into the design. The Ladder 2 can be equipped with emergency battery packs, each powering a 4-foot section at 1176 lumens, or configured with dedicated emergency circuits to ensure code compliance and illumination continuity. These solutions provide dependable performance during power interruptions, adding to the fixture’s reliability.
Available finishes include standard aluminum as well as black, brass, silver, white, antimicrobial white, and custom RAL Classic colors, giving designers broad creative freedom to match project aesthetics. Built with quality and longevity in mind, the Ladder 2 comes with a five-year warranty, underscoring its durability and performance in demanding architectural environments.
