MICRO RING II sets a new performance benchmark in decorative ring luminaires, boasting an impressive lumen efficacy of 105 lumens per watt. This fixture excels not only in brightness but also in delivering high-quality, uniform light. Its high-efficiency, flexible diffuser fits snugly within the aluminum frame, eliminating light leakage and ensuring seamless diffusion for a clean, elegant glow. The slim design of MICRO RING II is available in eight diameters ranging from 2 feet to 12 feet, making it ideal for creating grand, multi-tiered circular installations that add architectural drama and sophistication to any space. Offering both direct and indirect lighting options, this ring is part of the larger MICRO RING family, which includes five additional light emission styles, enabling layered lighting effects and versatile design possibilities. Each ring can also be equipped with an acoustic panel up to eight feet in diameter to improve sound comfort by absorbing echoes and reverberations in open or challenging acoustic environments.
To expand design flexibility, MICRO RING II now includes a lower output version that provides more subtle, atmospheric lighting while maintaining the same exceptional light quality and uniform diffusion. This option is perfect for creating intimate ambiances or softer illumination effects without compromising on performance, making the MICRO RING collection suitable for a broad range of applications from expansive commercial spaces to cozy residential environments.
Constructed with a durable aluminum body and finished with a smooth powder coat, MICRO RING II features a silver braided power cable for an elegant, refined look. Its diffuser is a protruding lens measuring 0.08 inches (2.1 mm), designed to optimize light distribution and visual comfort. For safety and compliance, an optional remote emergency system is available, providing 1.5 hours of emergency lighting (3 hours in the EU), complete with inverter module, NiCad batteries, and a remote wall/ceiling LED charge indicator and test switch, designed for convenient maintenance with a maximum distance of 15 feet (4.5 m) from the fixture.
The fixture uses remote HPF electronic drivers compatible with 120-277V and 347V (EU-240V) power supplies and supports dimming. The driver wiring accommodates 18, 16, or 14 AWG wire sizes with maximum distances of 40, 60, and 90 feet respectively from fixture to driver, ensuring flexibility in installation. Depending on the size, drivers are either remotely mounted or integrated into the canopy for ease of access after installation.
Suspension is achieved with sturdy steel cables, and a power-over-aircraft cable option (S6) is available for direct lighting versions up to 7 feet (2134 mm) in diameter in North America, allowing for a clean, cable-integrated power delivery system. Furthermore, MICRO RING II supports integration into data networks via Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling advanced smart lighting control and energy management.
The acoustic panels included with MICRO RING II feature a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of 0.80 and comply with ASTM E84-2018 Class A fire rating standards. Made from 100% recycled polyester fiber (PET) with a thickness of 12 mm (0.5 inches), these panels enhance sound quality while adding a decorative element to the fixture.
Mechanically, MICRO RING II mounts directly over a standard junction box (provided by others, North America only) for straightforward installation. The fixture is rated for damp locations and offers a long LED lifespan with an L70 rating of over 60,000 hours at 25°C. Delivered lumens and efficacy ratings are based on a 4000K light source with a minimum color rendering index (CRI) of 80, ensuring vibrant and accurate color reproduction.
For integration with building automation systems, consult the factory regarding sensor compatibility. To meet seismic code requirements, seismic bracing kits are available—contact the factory for specific compliance details. Overall, MICRO RING II combines cutting-edge lighting performance, elegant design, acoustic comfort, and versatile installation options, making it a top choice for contemporary architectural and interior lighting projects.
