Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, released today a new series of architectural decorative downlights that allows designers to break the norm of traditional layouts by clustering different-sized downlights and colors to create harmony and beautiful design elements in any space.

Amerlux collaborated with Gensler, serving as a product design consultant, to create the Stadia collection, which is distinguished by a soft-square trim that extends 2 inches from the ceiling with no unsightly holes. Offering a tranquil floating effect, the collection includes standard and premium finishes, including neutrals, vibrant hues and metallic and wood grain options. All are available in single tone with matching outer trim and inner bevel, or two-tone with differing outer trim and inner bevel finishes. The customization allows architects and designers to add flair and newfound depth to their ceiling designs, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of their commercial interiors.

"When visitors or customers enter a space, they quickly form an opinion of the designer's services or products based on what they see and feel, and lighting plays a crucial role in shaping this perception. That's why designers put effort into choosing the right colors, fabrics, furniture and other visual elements to create inviting spaces," said Bill Plageman, Amerlux's VP of Marketing. "Traditional lighting options like linear or recessed downlights can make offices, hospitality and retail spaces look generic. Stadia offers creative lighting patterns and pops of color while providing the perfect lighting, giving the space a unique appeal that sets it apart from the ordinary."

Architects and designers love Stadia because of its:

• Soft Square Trim: The distinctive trim adds a contemporary touch and depth to ceiling designs.
• Customizable Finishes: Both the inner and outer trims can be customized with specific designs or colors to match brand aesthetics.
• Clean Aesthetics: No unsightly ceiling holes are required.
• Design Freedom: Stadia downlights can be clustered or separated in perfect symmetry or daring asymmetry, offering designers creative flexibility.
• Supporting Resources

Amerlux offers downloadable spec sheets for the 5-inch and 8-inch Stadia downlights online. These resources are designed to assist architects and designers in making informed decisions when specifying Stadia for their projects. They can also visit Amerlux.com for a list of direct salespeople and representatives with product information, design support and samples on hand.

Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced today that it’s now taking orders for its latest engineering marvel: a designer’s collection of 1″ interior and exterior cylinders, each offering easy light engine replacement and up to 1500 lumens, with the launch of an interior square and round downlight expansion soon to follow.

Named an EdisonReport “Top 10 Must-See” product at LightFair this year and winner of Architect’s Newspaper’s 2023 Best of Products Award, the FINCH lighting collection offers exceptional output in several configurations, resulting in soft, discreet quality illumination as a fixed downlight, wall mount, exterior ground mount or adjustable with a patent-pending adjustable mechanism featuring a 50-degree aiming angle. Whether installed on ceilings, walls, mullions or the ground, FINCH is a versatile design tool, acting as a subtle enhancer that harmonizes with any high-end residential, retail, commercial and hospitality environment or as a distinctive decorative element for striking visual effects.

“The new FINCH collection provides a harmonious range of architectural lighting solutions, eliminating the need for designers to rely on different product families and sizes to light a design cohesively,” said Bill Plageman, VP of Marketing at Amerlux. “Mixing and matching FINCH fixtures easily creates a uniform design in both indoor and outdoor applications. This gives designers something they didn’t have before—full artistic control over the lighting in their projects. They can now choose fixtures that best suit their vision, whether it’s highlighting specific architectural features or creating a specific ambiance.”

FINCH promotes comfort, sustainability and architectural aesthetics in several ways:

• Slim 1″ Design: Featuring a discreet 1″ aperture, FINCH provides subtle yet powerful illumination with solite lens and hexcell louver accessories.
• Powerful output: FINCH provides accent or general illumination up to 1500 lumens, depending on the fixture and application, ensuring every corner is efficiently lit with low-flare optics.
• Weather-resistant: Wet-rated and fully sealed, FINCH exterior cylinders employ stormproof technology to remain dry and illuminated season after season.
• Field-replaceable LED: A field-replaceable LED engine and varying optics ensures easy maintenance, adaptability and long-lasting sustainable product.
• Diverse Mounting Design Options: Trimless and millwork flush options with reduced or no-canopy designs offer sleek, seamless aesthetics for a modern look.
• Various Lengths: FINCH cylinders come in lengths of 3″, 6″, 9″, 12″, and 18″, offering flexibility and variety to suit distinctive design needs.
• Sophisticated Finishes: FINCH cylinders provide a two-tone design with elegant and elevated finishes, enhancing the overall look of a space with a refined appearance.

All cylinders are available to order now. The interior square and round downlight expansion will be available in late October.

New Hospitality, Commercial Solutions Set Amerlux Apart

The launch of FINCH coincides with the company’s growth in various high-performance decorative collections, particularly in hospitality and commercial applications.

Here is an overview of the latest collections:

• Rook X: This family of extruded aluminum luminaires provides a harmonious indoor and outdoor lighting blend to create a seamless transition. The wet location-rated Rook X lineup offers adjustable accents, wall mount, pendant mount and surface mount options, all featuring an integral driver for a hardware-free appearance whether installed indoors or outdoors.
• Rook 250: Versatile and captivating, the Rook 250 pendant allows easy installation and separate direct and indirect lighting control. The series offers a 2.5″ aperture and a range of finishes, beam options and performance outputs in varied sizes, colors, and styles, including a decorative clear or frosted glass ring, making it an extraordinary choice for any space.
• Carisma: With market-leading lumen performance and a clean aesthetic with its infinity lens design, the Carisma architectural linear offers a hard-to-resist value. Available with 2″ and 3″ apertures and various mountings, including pendant, surface, wall and recessed options, Carisma can be specified to the nearest 1/8” and arranged individually or in continuous rows to exceed IES standards and maximize DLC rebates.
• Hornet HP Select: The Hornet HP Select downlight delivers over 2,000 lumens in a 75-degree distribution, ensuring optimal brightness. The series also offers a Solite lensing feature, enhancing visual comfort and providing a quiet, aesthetically pleasing aesthetic in round and square apertures without compromising budget or design.

Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced today that it has upgraded a pair of its best-selling exterior pendant luminaires, the DPM and DPS series, giving developers and municipalities another stylish, cost-effective solution for curtailing lighting pollution, costs and lead times.

The enhanced exterior pendants are built similarly to their predecessors, with the same long-lasting, cast aluminum housing and easy-to-install-and-maintain hinged LED tray system. But their directional control and efficacy performance are now significantly improved, thanks to the installation of fully shielded optics that reduce glare, light trespass and unwanted skyglow. As a result, the International Dark Sky Association, the leading organization for combating light pollution, has approved both exterior pendants. The group claims nearly 30% of outdoor lighting, or $3.3 billion in energy costs, is wasted from outdoor lights that aren’t shielded.

“The next generation of our DPM and DPS exterior pendant luminaires helps fill a pressing need for countless local governments that have passed one ordinance after another to reduce light pollution,” said Bill Plageman, Amerlux’s VP of Marketing. “These IDA-approved exterior luminaires have no secondary lens, which improves their optical efficiency and ensures all light illuminates down, which is where it’s needed. These enhancements are the latest examples of how Amerlux continues to respond to the needs of its customers and their communities, day and night.”

Finding and installing more cost-effective dark sky-friendly solutions without the extensive wait—an urgency Amerlux has responded to equally—is another lighting necessity shared by municipalities. The enhanced DPS and DPM exterior lighting solutions are priced up to 25% less than their prior models and offer a lead time of just six weeks.

Paired with multiple shade styles for various decorative applications, the DPS and DPM exterior lighting pendants offer a more affordable option for any outdoor project, landscapes, streetscapes, parking lots and corporate and college campuses.

Fine New Fixtures Turn Beauty Inside Out

Amerlux’s latest line of architectural dark sky-friendly solutions—the upgraded DPM and DPS exterior pendant series and the DS770FC decorative post top-series—aren’t the only innovative products the company has recently produced.

Early this year, the LED manufacturer wowed the industry with the announcement that two members had been added to its stunning Rook family of interior and exterior luminaires: the Rook 250 interior pendant and Rook X exterior wall mount.

Equipped with integral drivers for quick and easy installation, plus individual controllability of direct and indirect lighting, the Rook 250 interior pendant comes in two distinct cylinder sizes: full (9-inch height) and mini (4½-inch height). Both use a 2.5-inch aperture to brilliantly round out the signature line of indoor and outdoor cylinders in the 2″-to-3″ specification range.

The Rook X exterior wall mount, meanwhile, offers a 2.7-inch aperture and dual output (up/down light) or single-sided output (up light only or down light only). The Rook X’s architectural versatility adds beauty, character and focus to modern and traditional walls, columns, archways and structures.

Perfect for commercial, hospitality, institutional and high-end retail applications, the additions deliver a clean, uniform lighting composition inside, outside and all around in a sophisticated new format.

“The Rook 250 spectacularly provides architects and designers another option for delivering control and output in balance inside, while the Rook X’s weather-proof capabilities take the family someplace it has never been before—outside,” Plageman said.

Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced today that it has added adjustable accents, pendant mount and surface mount to its Rook X family of LED exterior architectural luminaires, giving architects and lighting designers a complete set of options to extend their interior allure outdoors with ease.

Perfect for commercial, hospitality, institutional and high-end retail applications, the Rook X adjustable accents, pendant mount and surface mount complement the original Rook X exterior wall mount by delivering its trademark after-dark effect on any building façade, landscape or canopy ceiling. It can also serve as additional lighting on pedestrian light poles. Moreover, all Rook X fixtures provide an integral driver that shortens installation and the same quality look and feel of the family’s interior pendant and wall mount lineup.

“Amerlux continues to make a business out of listening to the marketplace,” said Bill Plageman, Amerlux’s VP of Marketing. “Architects and lighting designers want a comprehensive set of tools that share the same aesthetics, performance and aperture size to complete their spaces inside, outside and all around. That’s why we’ve developed an interior and exterior family of solutions with so many options. Our Rook family is now complete, much like the projects they finish with style.”

With only a 2″ aperture, the Rook X additions offer seamless sides and no visible hardware, ensuring water-tight, long-lasting durability in all weather conditions. They also provide multiple mounting options, several external glare shields and beam spreads, and five elegant, discrete finishes that blend in gorgeously with any architectural facade.

Sustainably manufactured and domestically engineered with precision-machined extruded aluminum housing and die cast components, the Rook X family splashes beauty and character onto any modern or traditional outdoor landscape, architecture and post-mounted layout. Four color temperatures are available (2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K) as well as 83CRI or 90+ CRI. Three dimming protocols—TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V—are standard.

The Rook X adjustable accents come with a rear-mount or side-mount knuckle that’s ideal for sign lighting, wall mounting and rigid-stem mount inside patios.

For all Rook X fixtures, the primary optic produces a 15-degree (spot) beam, and all other optics use a secondary film. The optical distribution can be easily changed in the field by adding or replacing the secondary optics. Also for all models, the Accessory Mount Lens (AL) enables shielding accessories. Shields are rotatable to any orientation and removable while the optical system stays sealed.

A Continued Legacy

Architects and designers don’t have to go far to find other opportunities to complete their spaces with Rook’s complete family of interior and exterior lighting solutions.

For instance, the clean-styling Rook X exterior wall mount cylinder offers a 2″ aperture in dual output (up/down light) or single-sided (up-light or down-light only) configuration. It also offers a thin diecast backplate that keeps the fixture snug against the wall.

The Rook 250 interior round pendant, meanwhile, is a beautiful, slender solution ideal for open-ceiling applications where downlight performance is required in a more strikingly decorative manner. Maximizing a 2.5″ aperture, the Rook 250 comes in two distinct sizes: full (9-inch height) and mini (just under 4½-inch in height). Single-point suspension, surface and single-circuit track mounting options are available.

Alternatively, the Rook 250 Mini Frame Mount offers a remote driver in the most convenient location: above the fixture. Perfect for a trimless, clean and minimal aesthetic, the Rook 250 Mini Frame Mount allows for more driver options and accommodates EM battery packs.

Other Rook interior and exterior lighting solutions include the:

• Rook 3.5″ Round Pendant
• Rook 3.5″ Round Pendant with Dim-To-Warm
• Rook 3.5″ Square Pendant
• Rook 3.5″ Square Pendant with Dim-To-Warm
• Rook 4.75″ Round Pendant
• Rook 3.5″ Round and Square Interior Wall Mounts

Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced today that it has released the largest 1" family of architectural cylinders and downlights in the market for interior and exterior applications, each providing industry-leading lumen output for beautifully illuminating sophisticated spaces.

Recipient of the Architect's Newspaper's Best of Products Award and the bronze medalist in the 2024 IDA Design Awards for indoor home lighting, the FINCH 1" collection offers output up to 1500 lumens in several configurations, including recessed downlight, wall mount (with window mullion mount), exterior ground mount and surface adjustable with a patent-pending 50-degree tilt mechanism.

"It also gives designers something they always wanted: another canvas to create beautiful visual elements within their projects. Whether accentuating architectural characteristics, lighting with or without a ceiling, or lighting between wood slat ceilings, FINCH outperforms the competition with the market's highest lumen output and a field-replaceable LED that ensures it lights for life."

FINCH fits comfort, sustainability and architectural aesthetics within an inch in several ways, including:

FINCH is fun and lively without being too much and can be customized to produce stunning visual impressions, such as blending into large spaces to create a starry sky effect.
• Two-Tone Finishes: Designers can mix and match the inside and outside finishes of the whole family for a truly customized aesthetic. Standard finish options include black, white, silver, gold, bronze and dark bronze, with others coming soon.

Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced today the expansion of two premier exterior lighting collections, the Rook X and APQ Pole series. These product additions—a bollard for the Rook X and three decorative pole base options for the APQ pole family—give architects and lighting designers more creative avenues to craft outdoor spaces that beautifully integrate form, function and aesthetics.

The new Rook X Bollard brings a new dimension to the adjustable lighting landscape. By enabling the attachment of up to four Rook X adjustable accents onto a single bollard, this collection delivers unique versatility in illuminating paths and other well-trafficked outdoor areas where a low-level shielded source is desired. Several heights, fixture configurations and a choice of a direct burial or mounting plate installation are available. Optical accessories, including beam shaping films and a hexcell louver, can be configured at the time of order and changed in the field if needed.

Meanwhile, three new decorative options have been added to the APQ Pole family: APQ210, APQ330 and APQ510, each characterized by distinct design features but unified by their quality and suitability for commercial, municipal and utility environments. The aluminum poles are robust and lightweight and offer a six-week lead time, simplifying the ordering process for projects on tight schedules. With 12 decorative styles available for anchor bolt mounting or direct embedding, the APQ Pole collection allows for quick fulfillment to the site without customization.

“These additions to the Rook X and APQ Pole collections represent our continued commitment to meeting the evolving needs of architects and lighting designers,” said Bill Plageman, VP of Marketing at Amerlux. “With these expansions, we’re not just offering more options—we’re providing tailored solutions to the specific challenges our clients face, like integrating seamless designs between indoor and outdoor spaces and ensuring a swift and reliable installation process. They now have an expanded selection of choices to achieve their design vision, whether that involves accentuating certain architectural elements or crafting a particular outdoor ambiance.
