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!

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.
