Creative Lighting on Suspended Ceiling

Airelight™ Linear SC 1.0 Directly Attached to T-Bar Grid

Design configurations are limitless with Airelight Linear LED Ceramic Luminaires. This swank office creatively displays the luminaires in a zigzag pattern. Install Airelight Linear SC luminaires individually or link them together end to end. 

Airelight Linear SC luminaires bring a unique flexibility to lighting design. The low profile LED luminaires attach directly to the T-Bar grid and fit perfectly between ceiling tiles. The Airelight Linear SC luminaires are held in place with integrated magnets rendering them easily moveable and allowing for redesign at any point. 

Airelight Linears offer a strikingly thin 5mm profile and are capable of up to 770 lumens/foot. In addition, the linears are infinitely dimmable. Available in two widths (0.5 and 1.0), the Airelight Linear SC is compatible with both the 9/16 inch as well as the 15/16 inch ceiling grid.

Free Floating Linear Suspended Pendant Lights

Airelight ES 1.0 Magnetically Attached to Black Channel

Suspended LED linear lighting offers versatility and a modern aesthetic. While the installation shown above exhibits a free floating style, Airelight pendants can also be linked together end to end to create geometric shapes or longer runs of linear lighting. These versatile pendants can be installed to provide either up or downlighting. Each 6' Airelight Suspended Pendant light is comprised of three 24" Airelight Linear ES 1.0 LED Ceramic Luminaires.

Airelight™ Linear ES 0.5, 1.0 Embedded In Bent Wood Laminate

A custom handmade lighting design company, OVUUD™, found Airelight™ LED Ceramic Luminaires offered the ability to design and make wood lamps that maintained an extremely low-profile. Airelight™ Linear ES 0.5 and 1.0 Luminaires were embedded directly into bent wood laminate, without any diffuser, resulting in the desired lamp aesthetic.

Data Center Low Bay Aisle Lighting

Featured Installation: Data Center Low Bay Aisle Lighting
Airelight™ Linear ES 0.5 Custom Unistrut® Channel Pendants

To achieve low bay aisle lighting in a data center, Airelight™ Linears were linked together and magnetically attached to Unistrut® channel to create custom pendants. The Airelight™ Linears provide a highly uniform distribution of light throughout the space. Airelight™ LED Ceramic Luminaires offer a low voltage DC lighting solution that substantially reduces the building's energy use over conventional lighting fixtures. At this data center, energy reduction techniques are a top priority. Installing Airelight™ Luminaires helps reduce unnecessary power consumption while giving the lighting a custom, sleek, industrial look.

The Guggenheim Hugo Boss Prize Exhibition

Featured Installation: Guggenheim Museum Hugo Boss Prize 2016: Anicka Yi, Life Is Cheap
Airelight™ Linear ES 0.5 U-Channel Surface Mounted, Backlighting Milk Plexiglass

Anicka Yi, a conceptual artist, was awarded the Hugo Boss Prize. Goldeneye® was pleased to have Airelight™ involved in the project. To showcase the bacteria the artist intended to grow as part of the exhibition, a cube of milk plexiglass needed backlighting. Airelight™ Linear ES 0.5 Luminaires were U-Channel surface mounted providing a thin profile and delivering the desired color temperature. 

*Exhibition available for viewing through July 5, 2017.

University Classroom T-Bar Grid Ceiling

Featured Installation: University Classroom T-Bar Grid Ceiling
Airelight™ Linear SC 1.0 Direct Attachment to T-Bar Grid

A University recently updated a classroom's ceiling lighting with Airelight™ Luminaires. Sleek, low-profile Airelight™ Linears replaced large troffer fixtures to provide exceptionally uniform light throughout the large classroom. Airelight™ Linear SC 1.0 luminaires were easily incorporated into the pre-existing ceiling tile grids. The ability to directly attach the linears magnetically allows for greater design versatility as well as efficient installation time. Airelight™ Linears are also infinitely dimmable which was not an option with the previous troffer lighting.

Airelight™ Linears offer an ultra thin profile allowing them to blend into, and effectively disappear on, the ceiling grid. Airelight™ linears are the only lighting able to do this. Linears can be installed individually or linked continuously. The ceramic light emitting surface also acts as the heatsink eliminating the need for additional bulky components. The light weight Airelight™ Linear SC 1.0 is also offered in a 0.5 width.

Linear Lit Wooden Bar Shelf

Featured Installation: Linear Lit Wooden Bar Shelf
Airelight™ Linear ES 0.5 Directly Embedded in Wood

The ability of Airelight™ Luminaires to be directly embedded into any building material allows for a wide variety of potential applications. One east coast bar utilized this feature to integrate lighting directly into its bar shelf. While conventional lighting may reach temperatures that inhibit direct contact with wood, Airelight™ Luminaires dissipate heat through the ceramic light emitting surface making this concern a non-issue. Measuring just 1/4 of an inch thin, the profile of Airelight™ Linears require minimal material removal to accommodate them in an embedding project. The sleek design of the Airelight™ Linear lends itself to a beautifully smooth finish. The photos below illustrate how the light emitting ceramic of the Airelight™ Linear lays perfectly flush with the wood shelf.
