Fraqtir Point
The Lighting Quotient
The Fraqtir Point LED luminaire features a proprietary optic that uses the principles of refraction and total internal reflection to produce an asymmetric distribution of light. Style S099, the wallwash version, is 7.5 inches long by 2 inches in diameter with a 5-inch-diameter canopy. The luminaire is powered by Philips Lumileds Luxeon A LEDs in 2700K and 3000K. According to The Lighting Quotient, 3500K and 4100K are expected soon. The optical assembly is composed of an extruded impact-resistant acrylic snap lens. An extruded aluminum heat sink provides thermal management, and optional dimming to 0.1 percent is available.

CLS-Slim
Cathode Lighting Systems
The CLS-Slim measures 1 5/8 inches wide by 2 3/8 inches tall, achieving the smallest cold-cathode luminaire on the market today, according to the manufacturer. Two models are available, the Straight (CLS-Slim) and the Flexible (FCLS-Slim, shown). The fixture can cover up to 7 1/2 feet in length and uses ultralong-life, high-output, high-color-rendering T6 cold cathode lamps in 12 different white hues. The lamps snap in and out of the lampholders. Each luminaire is equipped with 1 percent integral diming ballast and is compatible with two-wire low-voltage dimmers.

Pure Channel Wall Wash
Pure Edge Lighting
The Pure Channel Wall Wash system is designed for a variety of interior applications such as display, retail, and residential lighting, and can be sized in 2-inch increments up to 120 inches. The luminaire features an asymmetric lens inside a slim aluminum extrusion. Each foot of luminaire uses LEDs in three color temperature options—2700K, 3000K, and 3500K—all with a CRI of 80-plus, which translates to only 7W per foot. The luminaire can also dim with a zero-to-10V dimmer.

D2LED
Prescolite
The D2LED downlight is now available in a wallwash model. The 2-inch-aperture fixture is designed around the Xicato LED light engine. Proprietary optics using light-pipe technology with a 45-degree cut-off capture the light and transfer it down through the fixture to prevent glare. The luminaire’s design also allows for even illumination starting at less than 6 inches below the ceiling.
