The Tumbler Catenary Light brings a warm, approachable character to the urban environment with a form that subtly nods to the familiar silhouette of a domestic lampshade. Designed by Industrial Facility for Urbidermis, the Tumbler introduces an indoor sensibility to outdoor public spaces, blending a gentle aesthetic with advanced performance. Its suspended configuration offers a unique design solution for pedestrian areas, plazas, and streetscapes, helping to humanize and soften the lighting in dense urban settings.
At the heart of Tumbler’s appeal is its meticulous construction. The luminaire’s housing is precision die-cast aluminum, ensuring both durability and visual refinement. A frameless tempered glass lens—available in clear or opal diffused versions—seals seamlessly to the housing, contributing to the fixture’s clean, uninterrupted silhouette. All connection points are discreetly concealed, giving the luminaire an uncluttered, elegant finish. This attention to detail reflects the ethos of designers Sam Hecht and Kim Colin of Industrial Facility, who challenged the utilitarian norms of outdoor lighting to create something more personable and design-forward.
Technologically, the Tumbler is equipped with high-performance LED arrays, offering a choice between PCB-mounted Cree XPG2 LEDs or Birdgleux Gen 7 CoB LEDs. It is available in 3000K and 4000K color temperatures with high color rendering and is IP66-rated for outdoor durability. Luminaires can be specified with 18, 36, or CoB LED arrays, and offer two power outputs with a range of symmetric and asymmetric light distributions to suit diverse urban applications.
Electrically, the Tumbler features a Class 2 integrated driver that supports 120V–277V input and 50/60Hz operation. It comes standard with a 1-10V dimming interface, while DALI compatibility is available upon request. Each fixture ships prewired and fully assembled, ensuring ease of installation. The luminaire mounts securely using a die-cast bracket and two fasteners, delivering a simple yet robust catenary lighting solution that’s as beautiful as it is practical.
Overall, the Tumbler Catenary Light exemplifies how lighting can elevate the character of a space, offering both utility and a sense of quiet charm in one cohesive design.
