The Flexible Ambient LED Troffer from Axis Lighting redefines what ambient lighting can achieve in a variety of healthcare and commercial settings. Rather than providing a one-size-fits-all solution, this innovative troffer is designed to adapt to the unique requirements of each space. Whether illuminating a corridor, waiting room, visitor lounge, or nursing station, the Flexible Ambient Series delivers tailored lighting effects while maintaining aesthetic continuity throughout a facility. It offers the ability to softly light large open areas and simultaneously highlight accent pieces or architectural details, all from a single luminaire.
Engineered with Axis’ proprietary BeWell™ Optics, the fixture delivers high visual comfort with uniform, glare-free illumination. BeWell™ technology directs light from each individual point source, eliminating pixelation, shadows, and transition lines. The result is clean, diffused light that is visually comfortable and ideal for sensitive environments like patient rooms, common areas, or reception zones. The luminaire is available in four sizes—1×1, 1×4, 2×2, and 2×4—to suit diverse ceiling grid layouts. Each unit incorporates a center strip that can remain blank or be enhanced with flush lenses, micro louvers, MikroLite™ downlights, or decorative Stencil™ accents to meet both functional and decorative goals.
The system supports two distinct light distributions: general diffuse and wide. General diffuse distribution is suited for standard ceiling heights (8–9 feet), commonly found in offices, patient rooms, or nurse stations, where closer luminaire spacing ensures even light and visual comfort. In contrast, wide distribution variants are ideal for higher ceilings (12–15 feet) in areas like lobbies, dining rooms, or atria, where luminaires can be spaced further apart while still delivering shadow-free, ambient light. This flexibility makes the Flexible Ambient troffer a powerful tool for lighting designers aiming to meet various spatial demands with a unified fixture style.
Customization is central to the Flexible Ambient's design philosophy. Optional MikroLite downlights can be configured in different lengths and beam spreads to deliver targeted lighting, while decorative louvers not only add style but also allow for higher lumen output in visually comfortable forms. Accents can be field-rotated 359° to direct light precisely where needed. Additionally, tunable white technology and BIOS SkyBlue® spectrum options support circadian health and occupant wellness.
The luminaire is housed in a low-profile 4-inch deep frame constructed from extruded aluminum and sheet metal for long-lasting durability and thermal efficiency. A modular optical chamber provides room-side access for maintenance, enhancing serviceability without disturbing the ceiling plane. All designs include a 3mm PMMA satin frosted diffuser and specular aluminum reflectors for consistent light quality and distribution.
For control and connectivity, the Flexible Ambient troffer supports a wide array of driver and sensor configurations. Axis offers integrated and remote drivers, including Lutron Hi-lume (Soft-on, Fade-to-Black), DALI, DMX, and EldoLED LEDcode drivers. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) options are also available through MOLEX, IGOR, and SMARTENGINE platforms. BIOS control systems like STC and DynamicCare™ (DCA) further expand performance by dynamically adjusting spectrum and brightness in response to time-of-day or user needs. Tunable white systems can be configured via DALIDT6, DALIDT8, DPTW, or LDTW dimming protocols. Input voltages range from 120V to 347V AC and include DC compatibility.
Color rendering index (CRI) options include 80 or 90+, with BIOS configurations achieving R9 values above 75 across all CCTs. Available fixed color temperatures include 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K with tight 3-step MacAdam ellipse color consistency within and between fixtures. LED lifetime is rated at a minimum of 50,000 hours at 85% lumen maintenance in 25°C ambient conditions, verified per IES LM-80 standards. The aluminum construction acts as a robust heat sink to ensure thermal regulation and maximize product life.
With features supporting IP64 ingress protection, anti-microbial finishes, and cleanable construction, the Flexible Ambient troffer meets industry-specific standards such as UL2108, NSF, and damp-location ratings. Whether for healthcare, commercial, or public facilities, the Flexible Ambient Series offers unmatched design flexibility, control options, and lighting quality—all in a low-profile, clean-lined format.
