The RING DISC represents a refined evolution in luminaire design, offering a sleek and streamlined alternative to the classic disc form factor. With its ultra-thin profile and minimalist aesthetic, the RING DISC integrates seamlessly into architectural environments, providing soft, even illumination that enhances spaces without overwhelming them. This fixture’s understated elegance subtly elevates the ambiance, contributing to a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere ideal for sophisticated lighting solutions. Combining contemporary lighting technology with a sleek and unobtrusive form, RING DISC sets a new standard for architectural lighting integration.
Constructed from durable steel and aluminum, the body and trim are finished with a high-quality powder coating to ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal. The suspension system features Power over Suspension (P.O.S.) cables, adding to the clean and modern design. Light is diffused through optical-grade clear polymethyl methacrylate, which delivers consistent and pleasing illumination.
For safety and functionality, RING DISC offers a remote emergency lighting option that provides a 1.5-hour (3 hours for EU) backup facility. This system includes an inverter module, NiCad batteries, and a remote wall or ceiling-mounted LED charge indicator and test switch, with a maximum distance of 15 feet (4.5 meters) between the control and the fixture. The test switch is designed to fit a standard single gang box, though the box is not supplied. The lighting drivers are remote, high power factor (HPF) electronic types compatible with 120-277V (EU-240V) power supplies and include dimming capabilities. Wire sizes of 18, 16, or 14 AWG allow maximum distances from fixture to driver of 40, 60, and 90 feet respectively, with drivers required to remain accessible post-installation. Depending on fixture size, drivers can be mounted remotely or integrated into the canopy.
Acoustic panels are available with the RING DISC, rated at an NRC of 0.80 for sound absorption. These panels comply with ASTM E84-2018 Class A fire safety standards and are made from 100% recycled polyester fiber (PET) with a thickness of 12 mm (0.5 inches), adding a decorative and functional dimension to the fixture.
The RING DISC integrates easily into modern building networks via Power over Ethernet (PoE), facilitating smart lighting control. Mechanically, the luminaire mounts directly over a standard junction box (provided by others, North America only), streamlining installation. It delivers high-quality light output with lumen and LPW data based on 4000K color temperature and a minimum CRI of 90, ensuring accurate color rendering.
The product boasts a reported L70 lifespan of over 50,000 hours at 25°C (77°F), ensuring long-term performance and reliability. It is approved for damp indoor locations and carries a US design patent pending. For projects requiring seismic compliance, seismic bracing kits are available; customers are advised to consult the factory for further details.
