Cove lighting is an essential detail for adding soft, indirect illumination that can supplement or even replace traditional downlighting. It’s a versatile solution for accenting feature ceilings, enhancing architectural depth, and creating contrast—whether you’re working with classic design elements or clean, modern ceilings free of fixtures. For a gentle vertical glow, an Indirect Accent Cove using Luminii’s Kendo M with Frosted Lens delivers elegant wall-washing effects. To softly illuminate the ceiling plane, a Forward Throw Cove with Kendo 45M Round and Frosted Lens offers smooth, ambient light. Grazing Cove techniques, ideal for shallow ceilings or more sculptural lines, are best achieved with Kendo M and a Narrow Beam Graze Lens. And when architectural coves aren’t possible, Luminii’s mCove Surface Mount with a long throw clear lens creates a beautiful wall-mounted alternative.
Best used to wash vertical plane and provide soft glow.

Being able to easily dim or brighten your home lighting adds flexibility, comfort, and control. Whether you’re setting the mood for a cozy evening, brightening your kitchen for meal prep, or winding down with soft lighting before bed, dimming lets you create the perfect ambiance for any occasion.
Beyond aesthetics, dimmable lighting is also energy efficient. Lower light levels mean less energy consumption, which translates to long-term cost savings on your utility bills. It’s a smart, stylish upgrade for any home.
Luminii offers a wide range of dimming options including ELV, 0–10V, TRIAC, DMX, and DALI2—compatible with smart home systems and tailored to your specific needs.

Color temperature plays a major role in how your home feels. From warm, cozy tones in the living room to crisp, bright light in the bathroom or kitchen, the right color temperature enhances both mood and functionality. It also impacts how furniture, artwork, and finishes appear, helping your home look its best.
Different spaces serve different purposes, and color temperature allows you to personalize each room’s vibe—from relaxed and inviting to clean and energizing.
