illumination. Available in both recessed and surface-mounted configurations, and offered in fixed and adjustable versions, Hyphen elevates design potential by combining unique architectural form with exceptional visual comfort. Its ultra-compact 0.71-inch-wide optics align seamlessly with the Portal and Lines families, offering a cohesive design language across the Fluxwerx portfolio for any lighting concept.
Hyphen Surface delivers precise illumination exactly where it’s needed, available in single or twin optic versions. Its minimalist profile, available in 10" and 20" modules, gives designers ultimate freedom to use fixtures as individual elements or combine them into broader architectural compositions. A synthesis of technology and art, Hyphen Surface blurs the boundary between design and light, forming a pure visual expression across any space.
Hyphen Surface empowers adaptability with 90° vertical articulation and 360° horizontal rotation, offering complete control of the light’s direction. Whether used to define circulation paths, accentuate feature walls, or enhance general areas, Hyphen transcends typical point source solutions with high visual comfort, uniformity, and lower energy density. Its proprietary optics provide efficacies exceeding 125 lm/W while maintaining performance and comfort at every angle.
With a comprehensive family of optics, distributions, outputs, and mounting methods—including integration with drywall, grid, and structure ceilings—Hyphen is engineered to support virtually any lighting application. Small in scale yet powerful in presence, its dual-axis adjustability enables unparalleled design flexibility. Optical distributions include wide, medium, and narrow elliptical beam spreads, with options specifically designed for vertical surface coverage and long on-center spacing—ideal for corridors, retail highlights, and hospitality environments.
Hyphen Surface fixtures are available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K CCTs, with high CRI options of 80+ or 90+ and R9≥50 for accurate and vibrant color rendering. All standard powdercoat finishes—white, metallic silver, and black—are selectable by component, enabling tailored visual integration into the surrounding architecture at no additional cost. Endcap designs, optics, and sizes are precision-engineered and preinstalled at the factory to ensure seamless installation and impeccable fit and finish.
Built from architectural-grade aluminum and 22-gauge steel, Hyphen Surface mounts directly to 4" octagon boxes in structural or hard-lid ceilings. The luminaire's advanced LED system is rated for L80 at 72,000 hours and features precision-molded, high-transmittance acrylic lenses to ensure consistent light quality over time. Integral high-efficiency drivers support 120–277V with a remote transformer available for 347V applications. Power factor ratings exceed 0.9, and total harmonic distortion remains under 20%, ensuring electrical performance meets commercial standards.
Emergency lighting options include a Class 2-rated 10W battery pack with 90-minute operation, as well as GTD (Generator Transfer Device) compatibility to bypass dimming and deliver full light output during outages. Surge protection complies with ANSI and IEEE specifications, and inrush current performance meets NEMA 410 guidelines.
Designed for dry or damp indoor environments, Hyphen Surface can operate in temperatures from 0–30°C (32–86°F). While robust in construction, it must be protected from chemical contaminants such as chlorine, alcohol, or solvents, and is not intended for use in natatoriums. Routine cleaning is as simple as wiping with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Hyphen Surface is UL Listed for use in the United States and Canada, CCEA Chicago Plenum compliant, IC Rated, and meets sustainability benchmarks such as Energy Star (for 10" 90 CRI models), California Title 24 JA8 (90 CRI), and the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Declare Label.
With Hyphen, you don’t just light a space—you shape it. Whether used independently or in conjunction with the broader Fluxwerx family, Hyphen brings visionary lighting possibilities to life with minimalist precision, architectural continuity, and human-centric performance.
