Who would have thought fluorescent lighting could be so much fun? Working closely with a talented Architectural team,
Creative Designs in Lighting helped create a clean, sophisticated corporate headquarters with some interesting features.
Cooper Lighting’s Neo-Ray and RSA standard fixtures were modified for the thick ceilings and trimless details. IRiS
square compact fluorescent downlights performed well with a minimal four-inch ceiling opening and flangeless trim.
Corelite and Fail-Safe fixtures were used in concealed indirect and task applications and all of this was completed on a
quick construction schedule. The construction team pulled everything together allowing the lighting to integrate
seamlessly with the interiors. Small apertures and clean lines align with the Architect’s vision and the fixtures perform
flawlessly. Since the client is sensitive to bright light, the chosen fixtures have quality glare control while still providing
adequate task light. The budget would not allow for daylight harvesting, so light levels were carefully chosen based upon
tasks in each area. The overall power density is 0.88 watts per square foot. Controls are simple with zone controls via
contactors in open offices and simple scene control dimming systems in meeting rooms and executive offices.
Cooper Lighting products used in the application: Corelite, Neo-Ray, Fail-Safe, IRiS, Metalux, Halo, RSA and Sure-Lites
ColeCapital_01.jpg: The Reception Area has a playful "pick-up sticks" pattern on the ceiling using Neo-Ray's Straight
and Narrow flangeless dimmable T5 fixtures, providing general illumination in the space and also meeting requirements
for egress lighting. Flangeless RSA Quiet Ceiling square HIR halogen fixtures allow flexibility to accent artwork on the
walls.
ColeCapital_02.jpg: The Auditorium is used for presentations. The Architect went to great lengths to create a unique
louvered ceiling and requested that no downlights be used. Corelite's Cove Solo Dimmable T5HO fixtures with Plus 5
aiming were utilized to create a uniform soft glow to the louvered ceiling and provide 30 foot-candles below.
ColeCapital_03.jpg: Fail-Safe T5 undercabinet fixtures using 3000K lamps provide the Executive Barista task
illumination. The fluorescent color blends well with the RSA Quiet Ceiling flangeless downlights placed at the intersections
of the ceiling expansion joints. HIR MR16 lamps were used to conserve energy in all of the halogen fixtures.
ColeCapital_04.jpg: The Executive Gallery provides art locations along the wood wall. Cooper collaborated with the
design team to modify the RSA two-Lamp Combolight fixture. The final fixture remained trimless, even in a 2.25-inch thick
wood ceiling for a clean installation. The retractable yokes allow for concise artwork illumination without light spill on the
soffit.
ColeCapital_05.jpg: Providing illumination in the Library are Corelite’s Cove Solo T5 indirect fixtures, concealed above
the bookshelves and Neo-Ray Straight and Narrow fixtures in the wood ceiling. When less light is desired, the integral HIR
MR16 lamps illuminate task surfaces and can be dimmed separate from the fluorescent system.
ColeCapital_06.jpg: Since the open office area is primarily for computer use, the Neo-Ray Straight and Narrow pendantmount fixtures were selected with T5 lamps and spacing to provide 20 foot-candles on the desks. The slim pendant also
creates an interesting transition between the drywall and acoustic ceiling planes.

This custom residence lies high upon a vista in the Rocky Mountains. Taking advantage of the beautiful mountain views,
the home’s main living spaces are linked together with floor to ceiling windows spanning the length of the home. To keep
the lighting in the series of spaces consistent, custom pendants and chandeliers were created using a combination of
frosted round and clear rectangular glass panels. The fixture’s contemporary design ties into the architecture, while the
ironwork structure relates to the rustic styling in the home. IRiS three-inch P3MR downlights were the perfect solution for
accent and pathway illumination. The variety of trim options used in conjunction with optical lenses and filters enabled the
designers to accent select objects and surfaces with minimal intrusion on the ceiling plane. A control system is used with
custom preset scenes programmed specifically for the homeowners. A path button illuminates the IRiS P3MR downlights
and recessed steplights throughout the home to a low level allowing adequate light with minimal energy use. An
entertainment scene brings the house to life with artwork and focal areas set at a higher light level than the pathways and
secondary spaces. Soft ceiling plane illumination in combination with accents on artwork and decorative fixtures create
layers of light to make this home a superb experience. Western art and styling add to the rustic feel of the home while
contemporary architecture and millwork create a light and fresh feel.
Cooper Lighting products used in the application: IRiS and Lumière
ColorowResidence_01.jpg: The warm incandescent glow greets the home’s occupants as they enter through the courtyard. Lumière
uplights highlight the columns at the entry and the stone pillars at the garage. Decorative sconces over the garage doors and at the main
entrance create prominent entry points.
ColorowResidence_02.jpg: The Great Room’s large volume is uplit with linear product mounted within the beams and trusses. IRiS
three-inch P3MR-E3SA fixtures throw light onto the fireplace and accent the sculptural horns and artwork. IRiS P3MR-E3AA fixtures are
mounted near the ceiling’s peak, illuminating the seating group and table.
ColorowResidence_03.jpg: The large piece of artwork shown is illuminated with two P3MR-E3AA, in line with pathway fixtures and on
a dedicated circuit. This allows for a higher level of luminance on the art wall than on the path. Custom pendants above the bar add a
decorative element helping to delineate the space.
ColorowResidence_04.jpg: Bookshelves on either side of the Game Room niche are lit with IRiS P3MR-E3AA, providing flexibility to
highlight either books or art objects. Two P3MR-E3AA fixtures accent the low buffet under the window and a custom chandelier provides
light for the pool table, keeping the decorative lighting consistent.
ColorowResidence_05.jpg: The Dining Room table is anchored in the large Kitchen space with a large-scale chandelier. IRiS P3MR
fixtures are used with E3DN trims for floodlighting, and E3AA trims are used for accent and task illumination. Warm, white linear LED
fixtures provide additional task lighting underneath the upper cabinets.
ColorowResidence_06.jpg: Artwork at the stairs is lit with IRiS P3MR-E3AA downlights. The large painting employs linear spread
lenses, smoothing and extending the accent light. The smaller painting and statue use a narrow beam spread lamp with a softening lens.
The custom chandelier tiers down three levels providing interest and general illumination.
ColorowResidence_07.jpg: Recessed steplights throughout the home provide path lighting with minimal glare and are designed to
blend seamlessly into the walls. IRiS P3MR-E3AA downlights provide general illumination in the master foyer as well as illuminating the
painting at the far end of the hall, drawing the eye into the space.
ColorowResidence_08.jpg: The Master Bedroom uses IRiS P3MR-E3AA downlights for general illumination on the vertical cabinetry
plane. Structural conflicts prevented the fixtures from being centered on the millwork, however, their flexibility allowed an even
distribution of light to create an ideal scene.
ColorowResidence_09.jpg: The main areas of the residence can be seen from across the small pond on the property. IRiS P3MR
fixtures illuminate pathways and artwork while custom decorative lighting fixtures provide general illumination and add interest to the
spaces.

Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas
Design Team: Kevin Williams, PE, Kimberly Smith, LC, LEED AP BD+C, Associate IALD,
Nathan Carruth, AIA (Project Architect) and Ennead Architects (Design Architect)
Project: University of North Texas Business Leadership Building, Denton, Texas
The Business Leadership Building at the University of North Texas features 180,000 sq. ft. of atrium, lobby, cafe,
classrooms, computer labs, lecture halls, departmental and faculty office space, conference rooms, lounges, campus
greenspace, roof terraces and a loading dock. It was constructed from 2009-2011 with an overall budget of $70 million.
With a sustainable design in mind by the architect, Ennead Architects, this LEED Gold certified building sits on the
re-developed site of a former parking lot and dormitory. With approximately 1,500 interior classroom seats, daylighting
was restricted to public spaces and offices. However, to maximize energy savings even from electric lighting, lighting
controls were incorporated for automatic shut-off and lighting reduction by switching rows for user-friendly control by
faculty. The majority of the interior fixtures were a variation of recessed and pendant mounted Neo-Ray 23DR/DS Straight
and Narrow fixtures (over 1,000 four-foot fixtures) with custom lengths and lamp quantities to adjust to different ceiling
types and lighting requirements. The university standards required all T8 fluorescents with little exception. However, even
with a narrow four- and six-inch width, this fixture allowed for one or two lamps staggered with no socket shadows or lamp
images. The architecture included three and four story public lobbies and tiered classrooms resulting in varying ceiling
heights. The Neo-Ray fixtures performed very well with overall uniformity and no glare resulting in excellent work
environments in classrooms. Portfolio downlights were used throughout, along with Metalux strips, parabolics and
industrials. Sure-Lights edge-lit exit signs were the perfect match for the modern architecture.
Cooper Lighting products used in the application: Neo-Ray, Portfolio, Metalux, Lumark and Sure-Lites
UofNorthTX_BusinessBldg_01.jpg: The Neo-Ray 23DS four-inch straight and narrow suspended luminaire with satin
lens runs parallel with the wood slat ceiling offering clean lines in this 200 seat lecture hall. Two T8 staggered fluorescent
lamps eliminate socket shadows and provided IES required foot-candle levels at the workplane.
UofNorthTX_BusinessBldg_02.jpg: In this 125-seat classroom, the six-inch Neo-Ray 23DR Straight and Narrow, twolamp T8 fluorescent fixtures integrate seamlessly with the fabric wrapped ceiling panels in a unique radial pattern. An
average of 45-50 foot-candles measures on the desks. A satin lens offers an optimal learning environment with no glare.
UofNorthTX_BusinessBldg_03.jpg: Over 700 of the Neo-Ray 23DR Straight and Narrow, two-lamp T8 fixtures are used
throughout the corridors in both lay-in and concealed type grids. The versatility of this fixture made it the perfect choice for
classrooms/lecture halls and public spaces. For example, a one-lamp version is used in areas requiring less light output.
UofNorthTX_BusinessBldg_04.jpg: Portfolio eight-inch 32W compact fluorescent, open downlights supplement the
daylighting in this spacious two-story atrium. The Neo-Ray 23DR Straight and Narrow product is the prominent fixture in
each corridor leading visitors from the east and west entries to the atrium.
UofNorthTX_BusinessBldg_05.jpg: At the internet bar, continuous Neo-Ray 23DS Straight and Narrow four-inch
suspended fixtures integrate with the wood slat ceilings. A satin lens and two T8 staggered lamps provide excellent
uniformity with no lamp images or socket shadows. Sure-Lites edge-lit clear exit signs are architecturally pleasing.
UofNorthTX_BusinessBldg_06.jpg: The executive boardroom features Neo-Ray 23DS Straight and Narrow fixtures with
T8 lamps. The fixtures feature adjustable MR16 spots located directly over the conference table for additional task
lighting. A dimming system controls scene settings for both the lighting and blackout shades on the windows and
skylights.
UofNorthTX_BusinessBldg_07.jpg: This elevation highlights the recurring theme in the building: open spaces and clean
lines. The Neo-Ray 23DR Straight and Narrow fixtures complement the architecture by blending well with the varying type
of ceiling grids. Portfolio six-inch, 32W open downlights illuminate the classroom and lecture hall entrances.

Project: Tiehack Compound, Aspen, Colo.
This exceptional family compound is comprised of two contemporary single family residences on adjoining lots. Developed
concurrently, the homeowner wanted the option of living in either home, or selling one or both. The design challenge was to
make each residence unique while keeping the project cohesive. The sleek contemporary architecture is highlighted using
numerous levels and types of lighting. Ceiling planes and stone surfaces are accented in each of the homes. Custom details
showcase the unique aspects of the homes’ curved walls, wall to ceiling transitions and unique staircases. Entertainment
spaces were priorities for these homeowners and it was imperative to have large gathering spaces both indoors and out as
well as high-end media centers in each home. These spaces had to be well lit with the lighting addressing the architecture,
artwork and comfort of the spaces. The adjustability of the IRiS P3MR-E3 series of downlights enabled the lighting to be
consistent throughout the spaces. By simply changing out trims for sloped or flat ceiling conditions, as well as for accent or
general illumination, the designers were able to achieve great results with one product line. Custom RSA Combo fixtures
were used for multiple lamp applications, highlighting the owner’s extensive artwork collection in the lower gallery. Lumière
fixtures highlight the landscaping and stone columns throughout the compounds exterior creating a dynamic outdoor space
and tying the residences together when viewed at night.
Cooper Lighting products used in the application: IRiS, RSA and Lumière
TiehackCompound_01.jpg: The large exterior entertainment space contains two linear water elements that run along the back of each
lot. A runnel cascades down a stairway separating the two residences while tying the water features together. A custom steel cap houses
linear LEDs that graze the perimeter stone walls throughout the compound.
TiehackCompound_02.jpg: Paintings and sculptures throughout the Living, Dining and Library spaces are accented with IRiS P3MRE3AA and P3MR-E3SA fixtures. The black alzak reflectors minimize glare and do not interfere with the soft glow emitted by the linear
lighting around the ceilings perimeter. Uplights graze the stone columns, accentuating their texture.
TiehackCompound_03.jpg: The second Great Room has two large chandeliers, which were chosen for their sculptural design and
contribute to general illumination. The curved window wall’s shape is emphasized with linear lighting in a wall build out detail above the
windows. IRiS P3MR-E3AA downlights illuminate the paintings, fireplace and accent tables.
TiehackCompound_04.jpg: The first home’s entry has a long curved stair wall illuminated from the ceiling with linear light. The stair
gallery hall can be seen beyond the stair. The RSA Combo fixtures with custom, adjustable yolks are located in a dropped cove to evenly
illuminate artwork on both sides of the hallway.
TiehackCompound_05.jpg: The second theater has a double dropped ceiling cove that houses color changing LED fixtures. Low voltage
track lighting line the walls, accenting the numerous black and white photographs while IRiS P3MR-E3MR fixtures provide general
illumination. Linear LED fixtures hidden under the bar rails and stairs provide path lighting.
TiehackCompound_06.jpg: The large amount of structure needed to hold the exercise equipment above the Wine Room restricted the
use of recessed housings, so surface mount LED fixtures were used for general illumination. Linear LED fixtures at the front of the
millwork provide an even wash of light for bottle display.
TiehackCompound_07.jpg: The glass mosaic tiles in the Exercise Room/Spa are lit with color corrected fluorescent fixtures. The interior
cove uses a similar product to wash the ceiling with light. Lumière Atlantis fixtures are lamped with color changing LEDs allowing color
gradation within the water feature niche.
TiehackCompound_08.jpg: The second Exercise Room/Spa is also lit with color corrected fluorescent fixtures along the walls and
ceiling, accenting the steel tiles. IRiS P3MR-E3AASR fixtures provide pools of direct lighting on the soaking tub, shower and water closet.
TiehackCompound_09.jpg: The Library in the second home has a dropped perimeter soffit allowing precise placement of IRiS P3MRE3AA fixtures, which are used to accent the artwork and millwork. Uplights flank the fireplace and a large custom light fixture softly
illuminates the upper cove.
TiehackCompound_10.jpg: The sculptural staircase in the second home is lit with uplights in the floor along its centerline. Large
paintings on the upper level and along the lower hall, as well as sculptures in the foyer are highlighted with IRiS P3MR-E3AA fixtures.
IRiS P3MR-E3MR downlights provide general and path illumination.

Project: SoBou, W Hotel, French Quarter, New Orleans, La.
Paying homage to mixology, SoBou is truly a ‘spirited restaurant’. Reveal Design Group together with Nema workshop
was brought in to realize a classy, sassy and modern interpretation of the saloon in the heart of the French Quarter
located within the W Hotel. Tools of mixology loaned by the Museum of the American cocktail displayed with abstracted
symbols of New Orleans’ music history create an immersive and dazzling environment. This space includes a linear series
of infinity boxes showcasing illuminated frosted and clear bottles, which whisks patrons’ eyes through the exposed brick
wall into dizzying luminescent tunnels. Walls lined with shelves with bottles of varying translucencies are uplit with linear
LED strips creating a sparkling glass curtain that envelops diners, while ceiling slots and banquette backs are illuminated
with Radiance linear xenon lighting strips to create a warm perimeter glow. The main mixology bar features a frosted oval
table reserved for special tastings. It glows from within, transmitting light through stemware with colorful concoctions
highlighting each drink’s artful construction. Adjustable RSA shielded lights are used to accent tables and highlight
mixology areas. Custom designed light features provide an ambient and welcoming quality of light, while paying chic
homage to mixology and the city’s rich music and culinary culture. Coordinating these major lighting elements on a
conservative budget was a challenge that was met by developing cost effective and easily implemented lighting details to
create the immersive and alluring space that marks a new beginning in New Orleans’ sparkling history.
Cooper Lighting products used in the application: RSA, IRiS and Lumière
SoBou_01.jpg: The entry dining area recalls an apothecary that speaks to the origins of the cocktail. Bottles of varying translucencies
were uplit with LED strips, creating a sparkling vertical glass chandelier. RSA adjustable accent lights highlight seating areas, while
apothecary tables are internally illuminated to dramatize the mixology tools found within.
SoBou_02.jpg: Banquette seating was carefully nested into the bottle feature wall to create an intimate environment for guests. RSA
adjustable 20W MR16 accent lights illuminate the tabletops. Each accent is lensed with solite and soft peach dichroic glass to reduce
glare and highlight featured culinary events.
SoBou_03.jpg: Honoring the mixology tool, the “Gigger,” this translucent graphic screen is highlighted with an LED fixture within the
ceiling slot. While enhancing the visual break between the transition space and private dining experience the screen creates an elegant
frame for the table beyond, while creating a sense of privacy for guests.
SoBou_04.jpg: Continuous LED striplights are recessed into shelves and concealed behind frosted acrylic lenses. This was carefully
detailed so bottle arrangements could become organic in placement and independent of the light source location. Bottles were variably
etched and left clear to create a random playfulness along the shelves.
SoBou_05.jpg: Exterior Lighting was kept to a minimum due to strict French Quarter ordinances, so the bottle wall was also used to
create a strong street presence, allowing the restaurant to glow from within like a lantern.
SoBou_06.jpg: Adjacent to the dining areas is the modern beer garden. Tables are highlighted by brass pendants reflecting the city’s
jazz history, while the graphics inside nod to the alternative culture of the French Quarter.
SoBou_07.jpg: Visible from all dining spaces is a gently curving brass bar. The back bar is wrapped with a band of crisp white light to
help feature a myriad of ingredients. The top glass rack and bar top are accented with RSA shielded downlights to help showcase the
mixology ‘heart’ of the restaurant.
SoBou_08.jpg: The main dining space is highlighted with custom fixtures resembling the bell of a trumpet. LED lights wrap the edge
and cove of the trumpet while an Iris PAR30 downlight illuminated the area below through the trumpet bell. Radiance xenon strips add
glow to the perimeter of the room.
SoBou_09.jpg: Custom infinity boxes display backlit etched and clear bottles to create a feature light sculpture.
SoBou_10.jpg: Banquette uplighting using Radiance xenon 1300 series strip lighting gently creates a hearth-like glow, while infinity
boxes provide the illusion of depth, whisking patrons’ eyes past the exposed brick into mesmerizing luminous tunnels. RSA Combo coseries accent lights illuminate tabletops to complete the ambiance.

Providing new opportunities for the city in attracting events and conferences, this new construction convention center
hotel has provided a sleek and high-end new destination point downtown. The hotel houses 532 guestrooms, a fullservice restaurant and lounge, and 31,000 sq. ft. of conferencing facilities. An enclosed, elevated glass crosswalk spans a
busy street, connecting the hotel to the existing convention center. Custom fixtures provide unique design elements
throughout the space with a play on sizes and scale. With the desire for both LEED and Green Seal certifications,
daylighting became a major design element within the structure, which houses a 100-foot tall Atrium. LED sources were
employed heavily within the design in both standard and custom configurations and fluorescent and ceramic metal halide
were also used. Careful selection of energy-efficient sources allowed the use of Halogen IR products where source quality
was critical. With 3000K as a standard, all sources were able to be matched successfully in color temperature for a
seamless appearance.
Cooper Lighting products used in the application: IRiS, Portfolio, RSA, Metalux, Shaper, Halo, Lumière, Neo-Ray,
Sure-Lites and Invue
HiltonColombus_01.jpg: Lobby illumination is integrated into the architecture utilizing Neo-Ray linear fluorescent recessed slots. IRiS
square CFL downlights mimic the rectangular shape and a linear fluorescent slot grazes the back wall. Artwork is accented with CMH
PAR 30L RSA Combolights.
HiltonColombus_02.jpg: Skylights allow natural light into the Atrium during daylight hours (as seen here). After dark, suspended high
above the lobby, Neo-Ray two circuit direct/indirect pendants provide added illumination. Custom LED luminaires drape down the
fireplace wall and Atrium piers providing a unique focal point. The custom LED fixtures required the design of custom modules for ease
of relamping.
HiltonColombus_03.jpg: The Connectivity Center continues the same lighting scheme, utilizing the Neo-Ray recessed linear slots
along with a mix of adjustable RSA accent lights and floor lamps. All floor lamps in the hotel are dimmable and utilize high quality LED
retrofit lamps providing significant energy savings and cost effective luminaire design.
HiltonColombus_04.jpg: The Restaurant, which is open to the Atrium, proved a challenge in bringing a sense of intimacy to the space.
Halo Linea low voltage track is mounted to the grid pieces and finished to match the structure. Suspended cable track creates pinspots
of light on each table.
HiltonColombus_05.jpg: Large pendant and vertical standing versions of the custom LED sconce were created for the restaurant
space to maintain the theme’s continuity.
HiltonColombus_06.jpg: The Prefunction Space is lit with 32-watt CFL Portfolio downlights. Yet another deviation of the custom LED
sconce from the Lobby is shown here. Recessed linear wall slots graze the walls providing vertical illumination.
HiltonColombus_07.jpg: The Ballroom can be divided into 16 configurations, seen here in a small sized arrangement. Quartz
downlights provide general illumination in the high ceiling when combined with a concealed linear fluorescent cove. Custom wall
sconces and a chandelier complete the space. The chandelier was designed with 10-watt xenon lamps for long life, smooth dimming
and energy efficiency.
HiltonColombus_08.jpg: Guest Rooms maximized energy savings within the building utilizing the Portfolio 15-watt LED downlights.
Downlights are dimmable offering guests flexibility within the space. Standard output T5 lamps are built into the millwork to provide
additional uplight on the ceiling mounted artwork.
HiltonColombus_09.jpg: The glass connector bridge crosses a main street downtown and was to be a focal point of the new building
from both an interior and exterior perspective. Color changing LED linear product mounted on top of the chilled beam provides dramatic
interest to the downtown location.
HiltonColombus_10.jpg: Custom linear fluorescents were built into the chilled beam. Lamped with a single T5 lamp, these are also
dimmable and employ daylight harvesting.
