Architectural Round Suspended Light
Up/Down LED Pendant, UL Certified for Modern US Commercial Design
The Round Suspended Light is an architectural-grade pendant solution meticulously designed to meet the demands of modern US commercial spaces. Utilizing advanced Light Guide Plate (LGP) technology, this fixture delivers a seamless, volumetric glow that is nearly transparent when off and offers exceptional uniformity when illuminated.
The unique 50% uplight and 50% downlight distribution provides both focused task lighting (downlight) and comfortable, ambient ceiling illumination (uplight), effectively eliminating glare and shadows to enhance occupant comfort and productivity.
Built with a sturdy aluminum frame and a sleek, low-gloss white finish, this fixture is engineered for durability and simple installation via adjustable suspension kits. It features universal voltage input (120-277V, or 120-347V options) and standard 0-10V dimming, ensuring smooth integration into all major commercial control systems. Crucially, the light is UL Listed for damp locations and RoHS Compliant, providing the certifications required by US contractors, lighting brands seeking OEM products, and bulk end-users prioritizing quality and adherence to strict US safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Commercial Buyers
Q: What does “Up/Down Lighting” mean for this fixture?
A: It means the light distributes energy evenly: 50% of the light shines upward (uplight) to illuminate the ceiling and create soft, ambient light, while the other 50% shines downward (downlight) to provide direct task lighting on surfaces below. This balance is key to minimizing glare and shadows in workspaces.
Q: What voltage range does the driver support?
A: This fixture supports universal input voltage ranging from 120V to 277V AC (with certain models supporting up to 347V), making it suitable for standard single-phase and multi-phase commercial electrical systems in North America without issue.
Q: Is the light height adjustable after installation?
A: Yes. The pendant light uses adjustable suspension cables (kits included) that allow the installer to easily set the final drop height to the correct specification for the ceiling height and surface below (e.g., 30–36 inches above a desk or island).
Q: Are these round suspended lights dimmable?
A: Yes, the fixture comes standard with a high-quality driver that supports 0-10V DC dimming, allowing smooth adjustment from 100% down to 10% brightness via compatible commercial dimmers.
Q: What is the difference between a round suspended light and a round chandelier?
A: A round suspended light is an architectural LED pendant designed for functional, uniform illumination (up/down). A chandelier is primarily decorative. Round suspended lights offer higher efficacy, better glare control, and meet UL/damp-location standards required for commercial projects.
Q: Is the round suspended light suitable for high ceilings?
A: Yes. The adjustable suspension cables and strong uplight component make this fixture ideal for high-ceiling applications such as lobbies, atriums, and open offices. For ceilings above 12ft, extended cables can be provided on request.
Q: Can this round suspended light replace an existing fluorescent pendant?
A: Yes. With universal 120–277V input (and 347V options), this LED pendant can directly replace older fluorescent ring or pendant systems. It offers higher efficiency, long lifespan (50,000+ hours), and compatibility with existing dimming controls.
Q: How bright should a round suspended light be for an office or lobby?
A: Typically:
-
3,000–4,000 lumens = Small office rooms, meeting tables
-
4,000–6,000 lumens = Medium offices, circulation areas
-
6,000+ lumens (or grouped fixtures) = Lobbies, open offices, high ceilings
Brightness can be selected based on room size, ceiling height, and required footcandles.
Q: Does the fixture provide glare-free illumination?
A: Yes. The LGP (Light Guide Plate) optical design enables soft, uniform output that meets commercial glare control standards (UGR<22), making it appropriate for offices, educational buildings, and retail areas.
Q: Can multiple round suspended lights be grouped together?
A: Absolutely. Many designers cluster 2–5 fixtures of different diameters (15″, 19″, 23″) to create layered lighting in lobbies, open offices, and cafes. The clean, minimal silhouette makes grouping visually seamless.
Q: Is emergency battery backup available?
A: Yes. Optional emergency LED drivers (90-minute backup) can be integrated depending on diameter and wattage. This is often required for corridors, government buildings, schools, and commercial tenant improvement projects.
Q: Can it be integrated with lighting control systems like Lutron, Crestron, or DALI?
A: Yes. The standard 0-10V dimming driver works with all major control brands. For projects requiring DALI, Lutron EcoSystem, or wireless options (0-10V to Casambi/PoE), custom drivers can be provided.
Q: What is the typical lead time for bulk orders?
A: Standard production lead time is 35–40 days depending on size and quantity. OEM/ODM projects with custom finishes or drivers may require additional time.
Q: Are custom colors or finishes available?
A: Yes. While standard finish is matte white, we can provide black, silver, bronze, or any RAL color for branding or architectural matching. Powder-coated finishes offer durability for long-term commercial usage.
Q: Are DLC rebates available?
A: Depending on the driver and LED module selected, DLC listing may be available for specific wattage configurations. DLC-qualified versions can help building owners obtain utility rebates in many US states.
Q: What is the lifespan of this LED round suspended light?
A: The fixture is rated for 50,000–70,000 hours (L70), depending on wattage and operating temperature—equivalent to 10–12 years in typical commercial use.
Q: Can I order sample units before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes. Sample units are available for evaluation, photometric testing, and customer approval. Shipping can be arranged by DHL, FedEx, or UPS.
