Edge 2 Vertical is a highly adaptable linear ambient lighting solution designed to transform architectural spaces through original and expressive configurations. Whether framing an entire floor or tracing architectural features, Edge 2 enables lighting designers to outline interiors with seamless vertical illumination using a single luminaire. Its elegant form and functional versatility allow it to be mounted in a variety of vertical and continuous runs, opening up bold new possibilities in spatial lighting design.
Engineered with human-centric outcomes in mind, Edge 2 features a distinctive two-sided lens system that diffuses light across twice the surface area compared to traditional fixtures. This significantly reduces visual contrast and enhances visual comfort, especially in high-output applications. The dual lens also promotes people-friendly vertical illumination by sending more light toward the eye level, aiding facial recognition and elevating the ambiance of any space.
The luminaire's housing is constructed from extruded aluminum with a nominal thickness of 0.075", incorporating up to 70% recycled content. Its robust architecture includes cast aluminum end caps, die-formed 20-gauge sheet steel interior brackets, and white powder-coated 22-gauge reflectors for efficient light management. The optical system features extruded acrylic lenses (0.070" nominal) that deliver clean, uniform luminance.
Edge 2 Vertical is equipped with an integral driver system and supports 0-10V dimming as standard. For projects requiring enhanced digital or connected control, it is also compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems such as MOLEX, IGOR, and SMARTENGINE, and is UL2108 certified for either integral or remote drivers. Emergency operation is supported via optional remote battery packs or emergency circuits. The system accepts multiple input voltages, including 120V, 277V, 347V, and universal (UNV).
Edge 2 maintains high color fidelity with CRI options of 80 or 90 and offers a choice of four color temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. Exceptional color consistency is ensured within a 3-step MacAdam ellipse, both within each fixture and across multiple fixtures. Designed for long-lasting performance, the fixture has an LED life of at least 50,000 hours with 85% lumen maintenance at a 25°C ambient temperature, validated through IES LM-80 testing.
Thermal performance is optimized through the aluminum housing, which acts as an effective heat sink to support extended LED life. Edge 2 Vertical is suitable for both dry and damp indoor environments and performs reliably within ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
The system supports lengths of 2', 3', 4', 8', and 12', as well as custom sizes. For installations requiring longer runs, Edge 2 modules can be field-assembled into continuous systems (designated as S#) using a near-invisible joiner system that ensures clean lines and visual continuity. This structural integrity and seamless design make Edge 2 Vertical an ideal choice for architectural lighting solutions that demand both elegance and functionality.
