Wall Rupture
Wall Rupture is part of the Flos Soft Architecture collection, a group of new solutions that push the boundaries of light and the built environment. Made of a soft composite material that integrates into a walls infrastructure, this architectural luminaire simulates an elongated crack, revealing an otherworldly glow created by concealed LEDs tucked within it. These reflect onto an inner gold-leaf- or silver-coated surface, emitting a warm 2,700K luminance on the gold or a cool 5,000K light on the silver.
“Wall Rupture is an exciting shift from pure lines without being a radical departure. The product combines architectural integration and fixture design in a unique way.” Stephen Horner

MultiSource-Capable LED Recessed Light Fixture
Designed to be obsolescence-proof, the steel housing of this beefy little fixture accepts 4”-round and 4”-square apertures and comes equipped with plug-and-play interchangeability for evolving technologies and different lamp types: remote phosphor LED modules, LED PARs, and MR16 metal-halide lamps. Postinstallation relamping and source change-outs are easily accommodated through the aperture. full caption

Radio Shadow Sensor
Part of Lutrons Quantum Total Light Management system, this daylight sensor works in conjunction with the companys Hyperion solar-adaptive shading, detecting levels of daylight and overriding the Hyperion default to ensure that the shades dont close because of false alarms, such as cloudy skies or shadows from neighboring buildings. The unit is made of fire-resistant polycarbonate. full caption

Otto Watt
Designed by Alberto Meda and Paolo Rizzatto, Luceplans dimmable, eight-watt LED desk fixture enables the user to simply adjust the color temperature from warm white to cool white by rotating the diffuser. For optimum flexibility and comfort, the head swivels 360°, and the reflector comes equipped with a glare-free filter. full caption

Full Circle
Breaking away from the usual linear installations of recessed fluorescent fixtures, Winona Lighting has devised a whimsically curvilinear luminaire system that accommodates standard T5s in curved and straight sections of varying lengths, organic shapes, and full-circumference versions. Equally suitable for suspended and hard ceiling applications, Full Circle comes with flush or regressed opal acrylic lens options. full caption

Tagora
Like finely sliced metal pipe, this 10 5/8”-diameterby-13”-high aluminum ceiling luminaire has an urbane industrial look that morphs from bold to warm to cool depending on which of the three color combinations are selected: black/orange, gray/white, or beige/white. Available for 12-volt halogen, fluorescent, or metal-halide lamps, the Tagora can (left) is part of a more extensive line that includes two additional ceiling models at 22 7/16 x 71/2” and 38 3/16 x 9” and three similarly shaped suspension fixtures. full caption

Fraqtir Point
The Lighting Quotients LED technology combines principles of refraction and total internal reflection to produce a precise asymmetric distribution that uniformly illuminates surfaces from one edge and provides high light output from a small 7.5”-long-by-2”-diameter package. Developed for interior applications, Fraqtir Point has an extruded-aluminum heat sink for optimal thermal management, a factor responsible for peak LED performance. Options include 0.1% dimming capabilities and several mounting configurations, including surface, pendant, cantilever, or track. full caption

Silverback
Evocative of classic mid-20th-century Scandinavian design, this 17.8 x 4.3” fluorescent fixture features a reflective metallic base that visually recedes into ceiling and wall surfaces. Designed for Louis Poulsen by the Danish firm KiBiSia collaborative industrialdesign enterprise founded by Bjarke Ingels Group, Lars Larsen, and Jens Martin SkibstedSilverback features a white opal diffuser that emits a comfortable ambient light. full caption
