2022 BDNY

Did you miss this year's BDNY? No worries, we have you covered! Here are some of the products we found interesting for various projects. Mostly glass works and metal works for high-end residentials, lobbies, and large decoratives (mostly pendants) for natural rustic material suitable for hospitality projects!

LUCIFER LIGHTING

Today we looked at the LUCIFER LIGHTING updated track lights, eco line downlights, and new anodized finishes (beautiful!).

ATOMOS:

  • a very affordable downlight. Good lead time of 1 to 3 weeks

  • A huge plus is that they have trimless millwork at an affordable price point (haven't seen many competitors offering this option). Round and square trim, available as new construction and remodel housing.

  • The adjustable model has a max 30-degree tilt.

  • The wall washer has a small kicker to push the light out of the ceiling.

  • Note: For the wall washer, the square trim has a better performance and higher output compared to the round trim. 1000lm vs. 920lm for the round trim. The round has a 1:1 ratio, but the square allows further spacing. For the round trim, we noticed a round spread on the side so be careful with spacing.

We also looked at a new zoom fixture, rotating the optics to adjust the spread. It only moves from 20 to 40 degrees, and had a large field angle, so it may not be a good option for art lighting.

TRACK HEADS:

  • New Alumina finishes with four (4) matt and four (4) brushed options (a new anodizing process). They looked gorgeous!

  • Warm dim is available in different outputs in the remote driver model. It's also available in medium size with an integral driver, BUT there is a wattage restriction. It's a YES, but $$$

  • Integral ELV driver down to 5% to 2%. There is a restriction with output. Max 1300lm delivered 900 for medium size.

  • The remote driver version goes up to 2300lm.

  • The nice thing is that their 120V medium track head seats flush to the track with an integral driver.

  • Monopoint has a mud-in ring for flush mounting the slim canopy.

  • The standard stem length is 1.4", but it can be ordered up to 12". They are moving toward making their new track stem (on the center) the standard. Updating T2 to this.

  • Large-size wallwasher track offers typical 3ft spacing for a 15ft ceiling. They have a little light leak on the ceiling.

  • Their tack and monopoint accept 2 accessories. They can provide a cross baffle, depending on the project size! Ask

  • They are looking out to expand their track system toward two circuits, pendant mount, surface, and recessed!

XAL + ARMSTRONG Ceiling

Today We looked at two new recessed linear fixtures, compatible with ARMSTRONG ceiling.

PANO

Low profile recessed fixture available in 2”, 3.25”, and 5.25” wide; compatible with standard length Armstrong’s Woodworks Grille, Woodworks Grille Tegular 9/16”, Woodworks Linear Veneered Panels, and Woodworks Linear Solid Wood Panels.

This fixture only comes in 2’, 4’, and 8’, the same length as the Armstrong panels. For a continuous run, there will be a 1inch reveal between fixtures.

Wider aperture is preferred for use with the wooden gride. No extra hanging wires are needed since there are heavy-duty grids in the Armstrong ceiling structure. Simply fastening brackets needed to grip and snap on to the structure.

This fixture has a remote driver which could also be mounted directly on the back of the fixture (like the integrated driver).

Available lengths for integration into Grille Tegular ceiling are 2’ and 4”, matching the grid length.

LENO

A 3 ⅜" wide recessed fixture, installed from below with easy snap-in installation; great for applications with minimal clearance above the ceiling.

This fixture features plug and play wiring system (not available in PANO).

It’s compatible with Armstrong 9/16" Suprafine, Silhouette, Interlude, 4" TechZone.

The start and end fixtures in the continuous run are slightly shorter to accommodate the ceiling grids.

Armstrong collaborated with AXIOM (3rd party) company for cove and perimeter lighting with prefabricated drywall kit

For lengths greater than standard runs, XAL offers black cover for ends. Although for plaster-in, end to end run, the BASO fixture is a better option. It comes in 1.5”, 2.5”, 4” widths. It’s slightly taller without a plug& play option
