Discipline : Product
Categories : Industrial Design / Lighting fixture - Indoor : Gold Certification
Featuring the smallest knife-edge profile in the lighting industry, Pose Knife Edge creates cove lighting where there is no cove architecture; add cove details without the hassle and cost of building coves, whether in new construction or renovation. As a shallow ledge or hidden indirect light source, use Pose Knife Edge to design your own cove-less cove.
Made of a single extrusion, Pose Knife Edge is available with a solid, non-luminous bottom plus asymmetric uplight optic for traditional cove lighting effect. Direct/indirect is also available. Individual luminaires and continuous system runs make for seemingly limitless design possibilities.
The knife-edge profile features an end cap that hides the mounting hardware, resulting in seamless architectural integration.
TWO OPTICS + TWO SIDES + TWO MOUNTING PLANES
Lighting options you can work with
Choose indirect asymmetric optic with solid non-luminous bottom for right-angle mounting to wall or surface. Or combine asymmetric and Lambertian distribution options for a direct/indirect effect. Mount to wall or surface in two different orientations: right angle or step. The asymmetric light source employs a patented SurroundLite® optic* delivering superior performance with balanced luminance. The Lambertian optic produces a soft luminous effect that mitigates contrast.
ONE CLEAN LOOK
A form that fits in nicely
Design simplicity and architectural esthetics lay the foundation of Pose Knife Edge, a timeless, compact form that lends itself to creating an appealing soft glow. With its clean lines and lightweight aluminum construction, Pose Knife Edge appears to be floating. Its streamlined look is enhanced by a smooth, pixelation-free uniform lens.
A wide range of distributions
With a maximum output of 1000 lm/ft and a choice of asymmetric SurroundLite and Lambertian distribution combinations, Pose Knife Edge can precisely deliver the desired effect.
Mounting flexibility, multiple application solutions
With innovative design and mounting flexibility, Pose® Knife Edge could easily result in the broadest number of applications ever offered by a single luminaire family.
Knife Edge DI (direct/indirect)
This version of Pose features the smallest knife-edge profile in the lighting industry. Made from a single extrusion, Pose Knife Edge indirect is available with an asymmetric optic (step side) and a solid, non-luminous bottom (flat side). Pose Knife Edge DI provides multiple direct/indirect distribution options, in both individual luminaires and system runs without corner elements.
Pose Knife Edge lets you add cove details in a space without the hassle and cost of building coves. Use the luminaire as a shallow ledge or hidden indirect light source to create your own cove-less cove solution.
* With SurroundLite extra-wide, multidimensional light distribution, light is directed in all three planes and sent in every corner of the room. In retail aisles, down distribution provides excellent vertical light on store merchandise. In open plan offices and libraries, rows can be spaced up to 15 feet on center for optimal power densities. SurroundLite brings the promise of balanced brightness, facilitating lighting design. In conference rooms, private offices and open-plan areas, SurroundLite eliminates glare, reduces eye fatigue and supports effective facial recognition.
