Meet SuperPlane + CORE: A Beautiful Fusion of Form and Function; ALW Announces Flagship Product Lines Integrated with BIOS SkyBlue® Technology

Carlsbad, CA, July 8, 2020 – Your search for a modern and flexible lighting solution that contributes to meeting ALL relevant WELL Building Standards™, including circadian lighting design, glare control, electric light quality and sound absorption can finally come to an end.

Architectural Lighting Works (ALW), a BIOS Illuminated Partner™, has launched BIOS SkyBlue® with their flagship SuperPlane and CORE product lines. While traditional tunable white can change the appearance of light, ALW’s luminaires illuminated by BIOS SkyBlue® produce the healthy ‘skyblue’ light signal needed to stimulate human circadian biology – helping to increase productivity and promote a better night’s sleep.

SuperPlane is a highly versatile linear family of luminaires, with uncompromising optics and efficiency. Its proprietary ControlRoll lens rolls out and snaps into the fixture body, enabling designers to achieve long linear runs without worrying about unappealing light leaks or gaps in the lens.

SuperPlane (Acoustic) is useful for open offices or other shared spaces that require acoustic absorption, with a material NRC rating of 0.85, and the choice of an acoustic or accented metal endcap. The acoustic material is composed of 100% recyclable and fire-rated PET polyester, that is both durable and lightweight, maintaining remarkable acoustic absorption performance with minimal added weight.

CORE is the flagship cylinder product family rated for dry, damp, or wet locations. It is available in 3 sizes to fit a multitude of applications and 17 standard body finish options, as well as hundreds of other catalog colors and custom color matching.
