Product Monday: Aera LED Lighting by Acuity Brands

At LIGHTFAIR, I had the pleasure of seeing a new LED lighting system demonstrated at the Acuity booth. Using wall-recessed LED luminaires, the system, called Aera, and which will be offered by Winona within 12 months, is a unique combination of indirect ambient illumination and luminous presentations to provide an engaging, customizable visual experience.

It’s without a doubt one of the coolest products I saw at the show.

Aera features a discreetly hidden white light engine for high performance indirect, ambient illumination that can serve as an alternative to overhead luminaires. Intended to be mounted above eye level, the Aera LED lighting system is suggestive of the sky as viewed through a transom window, clerestory or glass block.

Aera LED luminaires have three control functions to manage the white ambient light independently from the upper and lower controls so as to paint the aperture with bold or subtle colors. It is compliant with industry standard DMX and RDM protocols for seamless integration with DMX controllers. With the combined control functions, the Aera LED lighting system represents a powerful platform for personal and architectural expression where users can select from hundreds of preset appearances, or create their own custom color palettes.
