The CovePerfekt Perspectives 3 from Axis Lighting is a ceiling-to-ceiling and ceiling-to-wall cove lighting fixture built into ledges, recesses, or valences in a ceiling. Indirect lighting from a cove plays an important role in establishing the mood or atmosphere of a room. Cove lighting is designed to emphasize intriguing architectural detail and accentuate the volume and beauty of an interior space to heighten the sense of drama. Great cove lighting turns dark interior zones into spaces glowing with a very even, soft light that positively changes the way we feel about a space. CovePerfekt takes cove lighting from a great design concept to a perfectly implemented design element that allows lighting designers to provide a brilliant decorative layer of light to any room.
Measuring 3 9/16” wide and 1 5/8" high, the linear architectural light fixture features a sleek extruded aluminum profile in a 0.06-inch wall thickness, with 0.08-inch thick die-cast aluminum end caps. The top cover is made of a 22 gauge cold rolled steel sheet. CovePerfekt can be used individually or joined to make a continuous lighting system with lengths up to 12’ in one-foot increments. Runs greater than 12ft in length is comprised of a combination 4ft and/or 8ft sections which are assembled on site using dedicated joining systems. Flexible, tool-free mechanical and electrical installation without tracks, clips or other components offers enormous benefits for the installer. Standard telescoping cables facilitate installation by allowing up to 6" play.
CovePerfekt Ceiling and Wall fixtures are offered in high output (Hi) and low output (Lo) versions. The high output cove lights include 700 lm/ft, 900 lm/ft and 1100 lm/ft lumen packages produced from 7.3W, 9.8W and 12.5W power packages. The low output lights delivers 300 lm/ft, 400 lm/ft and 500 lm/ft at 2.9W, 3.9W and 5W power consumption. The LED cove light delivers a high luminous efficacy of up to 96 lm/W for the Hi version and 104 lm/W for the Lo version. A choice of color temperatures accommodate a wide range of applications calling for warm, neutral, or cool white light. The high efficacy LEDs are available in four shades of white, including 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. To achieve superior consistency of light output from LED to LED and fixture to fixture in white-light cove applications, each color temperature is offered in tight tolerances following the ANSI LED binning standard. A minimum CRI of 80 or a higher 90+ CRI enables CovePerfekt to accurately render the colors and textures of the illuminated surface. The LED modules are field replaceable and upgradable to ensure CovePerfekt will last for years. Future-proof design comes with easy access to LED modules using quick connectors and a screwdriver.
CovePerfekt sets a new standard in cove lighting quality with an easy-to-specify system that eliminates the need for movable optics. Powered by SurroundLite, an exclusive Axis technology, CovePerfekt provides a highly controlled spread of light featuring one of the highest peak candelas per Watt (cd/W) ratios in the industry. SurroundLite's 3D, 180 degree non-lambertian distribution emits as much light from the ends as from the sides across and out from luminaire ends. With precisely coded and aligned molecules that are engineered to bend light into the space, the PMMA light guide allows in-plane mixing that maximizes color uniformity while delivering full diffusion and de-glaring yet still maintaining an excellent light transmission. This results in a soft glow with maximum lumens delivered to the target area. In addition, the flat lens is optimized for use with a single beam angle, so no aiming is required.
Most fluorescent and LED cove lights waste a lot of light due to inefficient optics. CovePerfekt uses as little as half the energy to produce the same amount of luminance while providing exceptional visual comfort and superior light distribution. With SurroundLite optics, CovePerfekt sweeps spaces with visually pleasing quality light that is free of diode images, socket shadows, tiger-striping, bright spots and dark ends. The CovePerfekt Ceiling completely conceals direct view of LED light source and provides a soft glow on the backside of the cove with peak candela at 110 degrees for uniform ceiling illumination. CovePerfekt Wall produces an asymmetric beam with peak candela at 145 degrees. The ambient glow eliminates shadows or streaks on the wall, which helps create an elevated visual appeal along corridors, lobbies, and entryways.
CovePerfekt delivers superior illuminance to a wall or ceiling with color consistency and spatial uniformity exceeding industry standards. Its wide asymmetric distribution is well suited for creating soothing environments. Whether you are producing a floating ceiling effect or highlighting a coffer's textured design, CovePerfekt excels at bringing out architectural details for any angle-dependent lighting applications. The concealed, glare free LED light source creates large uniform planes of light through the acrylic light guide. Superior beam quality delivers a striation-free, indirect ambient glow that enhances vertical and horizontal surfaces. Tight directional LED illumination in conjunction with molecular optics yields a high performance cove light fixture with low energy consumption and a smooth distribution. With effective thermal management guaranteed by the aluminum extrusion, the high performance LEDs are rated to provide high luminance with an excellent lumen maintenance of 85% at 50,000 hours.
With integral drivers that accommodate 120V, 277V and 347V power input, CovePerfekt eliminates the need of installing remote drivers. The LED fixture is compatible with 0-10V, DALI and Lutron EcoSystem dimming controls with dim-to-off and dim-to-black options. This enables direct integration and operation with building management systems. Emergency battery packs or emergency circuits can be incorporated as well to create an emergency lighting system. Optional integration with remote sensors facilitates control lighting and maximizes energy savings, based on occupancy and/or daylight contribution. Long runs of linear cove light fixtures are powered by single line voltage feed from back wall of cove (up to 100 feet). Two circuit 6-wire also available for longer runs (up to 500 feet). Straight or T power feeds are offered to feed power anywhere along a run.
CovePerfekt was designed in sync with Axiom Indirect Light Coves, Armstrong's new, easy-to-install cove system that offers predictable lighting performance and perfect integration with all Armstrong suspension systems. Together, they form the new standard for cove lighting. The foolproof, pre-engineered cove system solves everyday challenges for installers with attention to detail to ensure you control the finished aesthetic of the ceiling and achieve your design intent. The CovePerfekt fixtures which are ready for integration in an Armstrong Axiom Cove come with classic and Knife Edge profile options, crisp edge details, factory-mitered corner pieces and unobtrusive fasteners. The extruded aluminum housing is factory finished to match approved samples.
