Museum / Gallery Space

• Pools of increased light levels move the eye from one important object to the next
• Slender, indirect sources fill the ceiling volume with diffuse ambient light
• Directional luminaires provide accent light on art and vertical surfaces
• Indirect uplight reveals the volumes and shapes of the vaulted ceiling system
• The combination of directional, accent light and diffuse light provide for

long-term visual comfort
High-End Retail Display

• Combination luminaires in the room center provide both comfortable diffuse light and aimable accent light for visual interest
• Adjustable accent luminaires in running slots provide punch onto the

displayed objects

• Planes of light in each display niche define the space and create the perception of brightness
• Glowing lines of light in the display niches define the depth and form of the

space

Contemporary High-end Dining

• Continuous linear LED lighting to cast ambient glow and vertical brightness
• Adjustable halogen accent luminaires to cast distinct pools of light on

dining tables

• Adjustable halogen accent luminaires to accent wall paneling, provide additional vertical brightness, and depth of space.

Contemporary, Casual Lounge

• Uplight and reflective surfaces define the entry of the space, while darker materials and light directed downward provide more intimacy and a lower scale in the dining area.
• Recessed decorative downlights provide a twinkle on the ceiling and a pool

of light for mood and accent down at the task.

• The bright vertical surfaces keep the space bright, so the lighting is free to be applied only where necessary.
