Lumium just got a major update. Now it's much more in line with what you expect from Ecosense
Last week, I got to do a really fun presentation with Tara and Jayne from Ecosense all about Lumium 2.0. We ping-ponged between their space at WeWork and the Shed to demonstrate the different aspects of this revamped product line. You can watch the whole thing below.
Optics + Fast = Ecosense
When Ecosense introduced Trov a few years ago they brought two things to the table that lighting designers love - optics and availability. Trov made dozens of distinct, high-quality optics readily available. That combination of optics and rapid ship time (typical 10 business days) has made Trov a go-to for linear cove and grazer applications. They followed a similar model with the release of Rise, which despite its myriad configurations, still ships in less than two week.
When Ecosense acquired Lumium they acquired a linear manufacturer with beautiful form factors and gorgeous finishing details, but Lumium lacked two important things…optics and fast lead times. That’s why I’m so excited about the update to Lumium 2.0 which takes the 4 most popular form factors (don’t worry the other 20 are still available) and introduces the two things I’ve been talking about optics and faster lead times.
OK, so let’s talk about the optics
Lumium’s New Optics
Lots of linear manufacturers have been touting their optics lately, but many of them are sourcing the exact same optics from third-party acrylics vendors, meaning they’re all getting the same generic performance. Ecosense went a different way and developed its own optics in the distributions you see above. We demonstrated those optics during our presentation. (The video below jumps right to the optics demonstration.)
That optical performance enables the creative use of linear forms to create glare-free visually comfortable spaces. The combination of wall washing/grazing, wide batwing optics, and soft floodlighting means that out of a single, uniform fixture you can create illumination for every application in the space.
Color Technologies
Color is the next addition to the Lumium offering including Warm Dim, Tunable White, and RGBW. For your hospitality or multi-use space projects that need dynamic color, you can now introduce beautiful Lumium form factors along with amazing color.
Ramping Up To Ecosense Speed
Lumium is ramping up production this year to the point where single fixtures and continuous runs which don’t require shop drawings, can ship within 10 business days. That doesn’t mean we are there today. As they build up production capacity this is something we expect to see over the next 4-6 months, similar to the ramp-up we saw with Trov and Rise.
