New for 2025, Ledalite is launching two new spec-grade lighting options with incredible performance and energy efficiency. Offered at a competitive price point, the ArcForm Duo and the Pique Duo product families offer flawless lens aperture free of dark spots, gradients, or artifacts. The patented MesoOptics nanotechnology offered by Ledalite provides a 3D batwing distribution for superior application performance.

Perhaps the more exciting news, the ArcForm Duo and the Pique Duo are available with Lutron’s Athena Wireless Node (AWN) technology which allows wireless control, eliminating the need for control wires and control gears. Using AWN technology offers flexibility and sustainability by allowing the end-user to repurpose a space without having to run new control wires.

More features from ArcForm Duo & Pique Duo:

• CRI 90 Tunable White ready with Interact, Lutron, or 0-10V systems
• MesoOptics and standard Silk lens options
• AccuRender high efficacy 90 CRI color rendering in 5 standard CCTs or 2-channel Tunable White
• Tunable White with Interact, Lutron Athena, and 0-10v
• 1000’s of 10-Day Quickship options available
• 33% improved efficacy
• DELCARE label certified
• Available in 2′ x 2′ and 2′ x 4′

When BlackRock needed to build out 15 stories in one of New York’s largest commercial office towers, the architects at NBBJ likened each floorplate to its own miniature city. They approached the design like a scaled-down urban plan that balances group-work space and focus areas, mirroring the places of community and respite in Manhattan. Each “cityscape” had to work independently and within the comprehensive plan.

To make the most of the building’s floor-to-ceiling windows and abundant natural light, the integrated lighting and shading solution would need to draw natural light deep into the space while mitigating heat gain and glare. Glare was especially challenging since, in addition to standard sun glare, the proximity of other glass-façaded buildings causes sunlight to reflect back into the space at unusual angles throughout the day.

Investing in innovative wireless technology was crucial to delivering the right solution for BlackRock. The teams at One Lux Studio and J.T. Magen chose Lutron’s Athena system with the newly released Athena wireless node to ensure performance, flexibility, and efficiency throughout the space. Athena wireless node is an ultra small luminaire-level-lighting-control (LLLC) installed directly into the LED fixture, enabling lighting to be easily rezoned and reprogrammed – no rewiring required.

The system also needs to easily accommodate changes to layout and programming over time-continuing to deliver cutting-edge performance for years to come.
