The Power of Change: Beautiful Lights, Flexible Options
Lighting designs happen at a given point in time. There is an inordinate number of calculations and extensive preparation that occurs prior to the design process of a fixture, but at some point, the design is committed to a written plan. The purchasing of materials and fabrication happen according to this plan. The plan is locked in—and so is the light fixture.
But what happens if the information changes? What if the colors that were chosen for the walls were deemed to be too light once they were painted and the walls needed to become darker? Now your space will seem too dark with the lumen package (the amount of light coming out of the fixtures) you originally selected. Or what if the correlated color temperature (CCT) that was expected is now too cool or too warm? The 3500K you saw in fixture A does not appear the same as the 3500K you saw in fixture B? Sometimes you must see things after installation to fully understand how they will function in a real-life space.
Under normal circumstances, you have limited options. The first option, which is costly, is that you order all new light fixtures with different lumens and/or CCTs and have them installed—but not before removing the original fixtures. The second option is that you live with it. Every day. Every time you walk into that space you notice how the room feels dim. Or how the competing 3500K lights shine inconsistently. Live with it!
Well thankfully today there is another option! You can instantly, easily, and economically solve these issues . . . right in the field thanks to the PLT PremiumSpec architectural LED linear fixture line!
The PLT PremiumSpec architectural LED linear fixture line represents a leap forward in the linear architectural world. Beautifully crafted architectural linear lights that don’t lock you into a specified CCT or lumen package. These fixtures have an easily accessible dip switch that allows you to choose among three different color temperatures: 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. This is huge! If your original design was 3000K and once installed it seems “too warm,” all you need to do is literally flip a switch and you have an alternate CCT!
The lumen output is adjusted in the same manner. A simple switch allows you to toggle among 3 wattages allowing you to manually select your preferred light level. This means the difference between 5,437 and 10,875 delivered lumens! That is a major change in a design, which gives you an incredible amount of flexibility. Also, the fixtures are 0-10v dimmable to offer even more customization options and masterful control over your design.
Who knew something as simple as a dip switch could completely change the way you plan your lighting design? By offering the ability to adapt your design in the field, the PLT PremiumSpec line of architectural linear fixtures makes changing things up easier than ever.
