Litecontrol’s Cove-15 (shown) and Cove-16 concealed luminaires, which measure 1 3/8 inches high and 4 1/2 inches wide, respectively, both use 12 LEDs in a 2-foot interchangeable LED module. The LEDs are offered in four color temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. The Cove-15 fits into a field-constructed architectural cove, while the Cove-16 can be mounted to the wall directly. Achieving 54 Lm/W at 2700K, both fixtures have an optional high-performance reflector that helps provide uniform illumination on ceiling surfaces. litecontrol.com
