Lighting
Ceilume ceiling panels are available in white, four designer colors, six faux finishes, and three levels of light-transmitting materials that offer opportunities for innovative illumination schemes.
Opaque Ceilings
- Bright white panels have high light reflectance for energy efficiency.
- Solid colors and faux finishes satisfy any decorative scheme.
- Panel's matte surface and relief cuts glare.
- Molded relief casts distinctive shadows, especially when seen in glancing light.
- Textured surfaces may reduce glare by scattering reflected light.
Recessed Lighting
Grid-mounted (can) lighting is a great illumination option. Choose a tile design that has sufficient flat area in the middle to accommodate the light opening and trim ring, and choose fixtures that come with grid-suspension brackets so that the weight of the light is supported by your T-bar and not by your tile. Coffered ceiling tiles may require some additional steps. Contact us for more information.
- Panels are compatible with conventional lighting fixtures - recessed, troffer, pendant, uplight, and chandelier.
- As with other suspended ceiling products, do not support light fixtures directly from ceiling panels. Instead, attach them to the above-ceiling structure or use approved fixture carriers.
Transluminous™ Ceilings
Translucent
Create a fully-illuminated ceiling with uniform lighting distribution.
49.91% reflectance, 31.62% transmittance
Frosted
Offer more direct lighting and reveal a hint of what is above the ceiling.
8.99% reflectance, 76.81% transmittance
Mix It Up
-
Create Patterns
Install in checkerboard, striped, random, and layouts to direct the eye, vary the lighting effect, and suit the mood of a space. -
Define Areas
In a hotel lobby, for example, use opaque panels above a chandelier in the entry hall, a luminous ceiling over the registration desk, frosted panels beneath colored LEDs in the lounge, and clear panels for spotlight accents. -
Wash Walls
Use clear or frosted panels along the perimeter of the room with economical above-ceiling light fixtures to illuminate walls.
Peek-a-Boo Panels
-
Beneath Spotlights
Install spotlights above the ceiling instead of using expensive recessed fixtures. -
Beneath Equipment
Simplify maintenance by allowing valves, meters, and other above-ceiling equipment to be visually inspected from below. Stop worrying about equipment leaks; panels are not damaged by water and are easy to clean. -
Beautifully Practical
Peek-a-boo panels maintain the visual and functional integrity of the ceiling plane.
