We’re beyond thrilled to announce the addition of Light Engine to the TLA line card. Light Engine is a creative architectural lighting manufacturer specializing in LED lighting solutions for high-end architectural projects.
Take it from Chris Davis, TLA Specification Sales, who knows the brand well and is eager to see it in projects across Colorado.
We asked him to share his insights on Light Engine’s solution to lighting design for architectural coves.
With the nature and design of architecture being so fluid and with the advent of new building products and methods, one of the architectural elements that has taken time to catch up is architectural coves. Once reserved for more linear and orthogonal applications and construction, as architecture developed, organic-shaped cove lighting either needed to be fully custom (at great expense) or limited to more angular methods.
“Fortunately, the designers at Light Engine decided to focus their attention on this exact scenario and came up with an ingenious, mud-over flexible cove product in both a flat-face or a knife edge design!”
It can conform to the fluid, curved shapes of the cove design utilizing a flexible, field-installed cove that would then be mudded and painted over for the final smooth, finished appearance.
The LED light engine is available in either a symmetric or an asymmetric distribution, with versions that light the ceiling, wash a wall, or even provide a circular cover around columns for an amazing, finished appearance.
“With Light Engine, you get smooth curves and gentle design in an affordable way to build a fluid cove on a project—it is a win-win.”
