LUCIFER’s Stellaris

Stellaris is a striking 31″ sculptural luminaire that houses three independently controlled light sources in a single form — a directional downlight, a volumetric waveguide, and an uplight — each serving a distinct purpose and each controllable independently. The result is a fixture that moves fluidly between task and ambient modalities without ever asking you to add another product to the ceiling.

INTRA’s Pyrymyd

Designed by Serge & Robert Cornelissen for Intra Lighting, Pyrymyd is an all-in-one acoustic and lighting panel that transforms the ceiling from a passive, utilitarian surface into an active design element — one that shapes the character of a space while simultaneously solving three of the most persistent challenges in commercial interior design: acoustics, illumination quality, and aesthetics.

Week of July 13th

This month we’re featuring Lucifer Lighting’s Stellaris, developed with Gensler to solve a classic specification problem: task and ambient lighting in a single 31″ fixture. Three independently controlled sources — downlight, waveguide, and uplight — let designers layer light without adding fixtures to the ceiling. We’re also spotlighting TLS Lighting’s LumiCoustica™ Collection, which pairs high-performance LED lighting with built-in acoustic absorption — tackling sound reverberation in open, hard-surfaced commercial spaces without cluttering the ceiling plane. And a big congrats to our Q2 Golf Simulator League winners — Dustin Brown & Harrison Muecke took 1st place overall!

Week of July 6th

This month, we’re spotlighting how integrated Lutron systems helped designer Grace Huh transform a historic home’s most challenging space — a dark, 40-foot kitchen — into its warm, welcoming heart. Tunable Ketra fixtures shift from crisp morning light to candlelit evening glow, while motorized shades protect artwork and reveal lake views on cue. It’s a great example of technology built to enhance a designer’s vision, not compete with it. We’re also featuring Accord Lighting’s redesigned Petra Pendant — a one-of-a-kind fixture pairing natural wood and stone, with exposed sockets reimagined as a design feature.

Week of June 22nd

This week’s Light Connect celebrates lighting with purpose, featuring Graypants’ handcrafted Scraplights collection and its newest additions, Lamella and Sunset, which blend sustainable materials with striking design. We’re also spotlighting the QBIX Architectural Sconce Series from US Architectural Lighting, a versatile exterior fixture that combines pathway illumination with precision façade accent lighting. Plus, we recap our exciting night at the IES Phoenix Illumination Awards—where our office received a 2026 Special Citation Award—and share a helpful tip on simplifying mixed dimming protocols with Lutron Vive.

Week of June 15th

This week’s Light Connect features two innovative lighting solutions built for real-world projects. QTL’s upgraded SHIELD LED strip delivers specification-grade performance, IP67 protection, and simplified installation for challenging applications, while BK Lighting’s newly redesigned Nite Star offers improved optics, higher output, and greater reliability for outdoor environments. We’re also looking forward to celebrating outstanding projects at the IES Phoenix Illumination Awards Gala and recognizing the latest winners of our AZL Golf Simulator League.

Week of June 8th

This week’s Light Connect spotlights Tom Dixon, the iconic British design brand known for creating bold, sculptural lighting that transforms interiors into unforgettable spaces. We’re also featuring Lumenwerx’s Aera Reflex, an innovative fixture that combines the flexibility of a downlight and cylinder in one sleek design, delivering precise, low-glare illumination while maintaining a clean ceiling aesthetic for today’s architectural projects.

Week of June 1st

This week’s Light Connect explores lighting solutions that do more than illuminate. Intra Lighting’s Pyrymyd transforms the ceiling into a design feature by combining glare-free lighting, acoustic performance, and sustainable materials in one innovative system, while Vibia’s Offset Collection uses dynamic color and temperature control to create personalized lighting experiences. We also share practical guidance on choosing the right color temperature and why selecting the right Kelvin early in the design process can dramatically influence the look and feel of a space.

TIVOLI’s Adapt 2.0

The evolution of Tivoli’s ADAPT is here! ADAPT 2.0 is a commercial-grade, outdoor-rated, low voltage LED strand lighting system featuring 12 all-new shatter-proof designer globes. With factory-molded spacing for consistent quality and flexible mounting options for both suspended and surface applications, ADAPT 2.0 delivers reliable performance with a refined, installation-friendly design.
