Lighting Products
Verge
Manufacturer: Pure Lighting
Pure Lighting's Verge allows light to become part of the architecture. The system consists of a plaster-in aluminum channel with a 4'-wide paintable aluminum backer plate and either white or RGB Soft Strip LEDs in 5' increments up to 40'. It is ideal for illuminating door frames, coves, floating wall effects, and other dramatic linear designs. Six color temperatures are available for the white LEDs, from 2,400K to 5,700K.

Plumage
Manufacturer: Axo Light
The tiered design of Axo Light's Plumage was inspired by overlapping feathers of tropical birds. But this pendant, offered as either a hanging or floor lamp, has “feathers” that are removable, washable, and made of fire-resistant Trevira CS fabric. Available in red, fuchsia, orange, green, brown, light gray, white, or multicolor, the shade comes in three sizes—31½', 47¼', or 70¾' diameter. Plumage takes halogen or fluorescent E27 bulbs.

Open
Manufacturer: Peerless Lighting
Aptly named Open, Peerless Lighting's new beamlike fixture features a lens-free open trough from which light appears to emanate out of thin air. LEDs concealed along the bottom lips reflect and diffuse the light to produce this optical trick. Available in 4' or 8' sections, the extruded-aluminum unit comes in suspended, recessed, or surface-mounted versions to provide direct, indirect, or wall-wash illumination. Powder-coat options include low-gloss white, low-gloss aluminum, or black.

CY3
Manufacturer: Lucifer Lighting
Lucifer Lighting has expanded its Cylinder Family of surface-mounted LED can luminaires with CY3. Its sleek, die-cast aluminum body—which measures 6½' long x 3 1/8' in diameter—can be specified with a brushed, matte black, matte white, or bronze powder-coat finish. It swivels 361° and tilts up to 45° angles.

Ipnos
Manufacturer: Flos
A new indoor/outdoor floor lamp from Flos, Ipnos is a boxy skeleton composed of ultra-thin extruded- and anodized-aluminum bars finished in natural, black, or copper tones. LEDs are embedded within the upper edges of the frame, filling the volume inside, as well as around its base, with soft light. The piece can also be transformed into an accent table with an optional transparent methacrylate insert. It measures 13¾' square x 27 2/3' high.

Grafik T
Manufacturer: Lutron
“T” stands for touch control in Grafik T, a new architectural dimmer switch from Lutron. The actual control is an elegant, slightly raised vertical bar that integrates LEDs to visually display light levels as it is pressed. It functions as a stand-alone unit to control a single source or room, or it can be integrated into a whole-home or building system. Grafik T can be used in conjunction with Lutron's wireless and daylight-sensing systems.

GATICA
Manufacturer: Tech Lighting
An acronym for “General and Task Illumination, Controls, Adjustability,” GATICA is an ingenious all-in-one LED system that, as its name states, provides general, wall wash, and direct spot lighting. A single 6'- or 12'-wide luminaire achieves such flexibility and modularity thanks to tiltable light panels and optional aimable spotlight modules. The housing itself, offered in 2'-, 4'-, and 8'-long sections, can be suspended, recessed, or integrated into a lay-in T-grid ceiling, and connected to other units to create longer, continuous fixtures.

SlimStyle BR30
Manufacturer: Philips
After introducing a flattened LED A-lamp last year, Philips has followed up with a streamlined LED floodlight for indoor applications. SlimStyle BR30 is much lighter and less bulky than its counterparts—making it easier to handle and install—due to the elimination of the typical aluminum heat-sink; instead, its flat, disc-shaped head conducts the heat away. The new lamp uses only 9.5W to emit an impressive 650 lumens, which amounts to 85% less energy usage compared to standard 65W incandescent BR30 lamps.

NanoLED NXT Cylinder
Manufacturer: USAI
Though USAI has been producing decorative trims for its in-ceiling downlights, the company hasn't offered a decorative fixture until now, with the NanoLED NXT Cylinder. Its extruded-aluminum body, offered in three lengths from 10' to 15', can be finished in white, black, metallic colors, or any Pantone hue. Four mounting options—surface, wall, cable, or stem—are available, as are three beam spreads that can be changed simply by removing the bottom trim and swapping out the reflector.

Nomi OLED Sconces
Manufacturer: Winona Lighting
For Winona Lighting's Nomi, a modern, high-tech take on a traditional wall sconce, a flat Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) panel replaces the pillar candle. The die-cast aluminum fixtures come in two styles: Straight (left) is a bar format measuring 17 7/8' long x 2 7/8' wide x ¼' thick, while Curve gently arcs; it measures 18½' long x 3' wide x ¼' thick. Three color temperatures are offered: 3,000K, 3,500K, and 4,000K.
