Acuity Brands, Inc. Unveils RUBIK(TM) Luminaires: Revolutionary Lighting For Grid Ceiling Systems
April 26 2016 - 8:30AM
ATLANTA - April 26, 2016
- Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI) today introduced RUBIK(TM)
luminaires from Mark Architectural Lighting(TM), a new family of
recessed LED luminaires for grid ceilings that offers unparalleled
design flexibility with dynamic lighting capabilities. Dynamic
features, such as tunable white, grayscale and color accent, enable
lighting to enhance spaces, strengthen a design statement or fit
the lighting to an activity or time of day.
RUBIK
luminaires can be arranged in traditional layouts or positioned to
create unique geometric, clustered, or free-form patterns without
modifying the ceiling. The luminaires are designed to work together
in standard 2' x 2' ceiling grid systems and are available in
three, five, and nine cell forms.
"RUBIK
represents our bold ambition to expand dynamic lighting into the
mainstream by offering new features and effects in a captivating
form," said David Ciccarelli, Vice President Dynamic Lighting,
Acuity Brands Lighting. "Our new dynamic luminaires offer amazing
quality effects such as color changing and tunable white,
previously only available on theatrical DMX networks, but now
accessible on a mainstream network that many of our customers are
already using."
RUBIK
offers four dynamic illumination approaches:
-
White delivers volumetric
lighting with a fresh, modern aesthetic. An efficient planar lens
with simple gridded treatment provides low glare, no pixelization
and application versatility.
-
Tunable White creates modes
for optimal occupant experience and performance. Available in both
a Rhythm Range (3000K to 5000K) and Productivity Range (2700K to
6500K), the RUBIK luminaire's skylight-like appearance makes
time-of-day dynamic effects versatile and compelling.
-
Grayscale ushers in a new
way to light spaces with a sense of playfulness and visual
interest, using dappled light without compromising volumetric
performance. An optional kinetic mode offers luminous dynamics
while maintaining constant illumination. Ideal for creating modern
and decorative patterns that either stand alone or integrate with
the ambient lighting system.
-
Color Accent adds the
impact of color without colorizing the illumination of the space.
RUBIK luminaires offer a rich architectural palette from pastels to
deeply saturated, stained glass-like colors, ideally suited to set
mood, reinforce corporate identity or punctuate the impact of a
RUBIK design.
All
RUBIK luminaire configurations are available with dynamic features,
which are integrated with intuitive nLight® controls.
"Grid
lighting has always presented creative challenges for lighting
designers seeking to push the envelope of creativity without undue
complexity or cost," said Donna Sumner, Director Product Marketing,
Acuity Brands Lighting. "RUBIK offers a unique design vocabulary
that enables the designer to think and behave beyond the grid -
with almost limitless possibilities."
Acuity
Brands will be demonstrating RUBIK Luminaries (Booths #3217 and
#3437) during LIGHTFAIR® International, May 26-28, at the San Diego
Convention Center. Click here www.acuitybrands.com/rubik for more
