Luminii, a leader in high-performance architectural lighting, today announced the launch of its Gen 2 LED platform, a comprehensive next-generation system that re-engineers the core lighting “engine” behind the majority of Luminii’s LED strip lighting and made-to-order linear fixtures.
More than a product update, Luminii’s Gen 2 platform represents a full-scale evolution of the company’s linear ecosystem, introducing five new LED strip families, expanded outputs and CCTs, improved efficacy, tighter cut increments, enhanced dimming performance, and a standardized LED strip architecture that both simplifies the portfolio and expands compatibility across fixtures and extrusions.
“With our next-generation LEDs, we focused on advancing what matters most to specifiers and lighting designers: quality of light, performance, precision, and reliability,” said Jeff Parker, CEO of Luminii. “This is a foundational upgrade to the platform our customers rely on every day, delivering meaningful gains without adding unnecessary complexity.”
A PLATFORM-LEVEL EVOLUTION
Luminii is introducing five next-generation LED strip families, spanning 21 outputs and 13 CCT options, designed to replace and consolidate previous tape generations while expanding performance and flexibility. The Gen 2 LED strip families are available in region-specific configurations to support both North American and EMEA markets:
| EMEA |
LineLED Vibrant Color 72 (LLVC72) | LineLED Vibrant Color 240 (LLVC240) |
LineLED High Efficacy 64 (LLHE64) | LineLED High Efficacy 208 (LLHE208) |
LineLED Warm Dim 51 (LLWD51) | LineLED Warm Dim 168 (LLWD168) |
LineLED Tunable White 51 (LLTW51) | LineLED Tunable White 168 (LLTW168) |
LineLED Tunable White 51 X2 (LLTW51X2) | LineLED Tunable White 168 X2 (LLTW168X2) |
All LED strip lights are now standardized to a 10mm form factor, allowing them to fit into more compact extrusions and fixtures while simplifying connectors and installation.
PERFORMANCE THAT LEADS THE CATEGORY
The Gen 2 platform delivers measurable, specification-driven advantages, including:
- Industry-leading color quality with 97+ CRI and 95+ R9
- Exceptional efficacy, reaching 120+ lm/W for Vibrant Color and up to 160+ lm/W for High Efficacy
- Extended run lengths enabled by 4oz copper PCBs, reducing voltage drop over long distances
- Ultra-short cut increments, down to 0.66 inches (16.8 mm), for unmatched precision in the field
- Improved dotting with dual-CCT LED packages in Warm Dim and Tunable White strips
- Enhanced wet-location performance using a new white silicone co-extrusion for increased efficiency and a more refined appearance
Warm Dim performance is further elevated through PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming compatibility with Luminii’s PS-UNI power supply, delivering a smooth, deeply nuanced dimming curve without the need for specialized drivers.
SYSTEM-WIDE UPDATES AND EXPANDED FIXTURES
In addition to new LED strip lighting, Gen 2 includes updates across other products, including:
- All New Myka Asymmetric Surface (MKA) for millwork and shelf applications.
- Enhanced Myka compatibility: Warm Dim and Tunable White LED strips are now available in a standardized 10mm width, enabling seamless integration across Myka fixtures and extrusions and bringing Warm Dim and Tunable White performance to the Myka family for the first time.
- Revitalized mCove REC, now compatible with Gen 2 strip lighting and simplified ordering.
- Extended warranty coverage, with Luminii wet fixtures and wet-location LED strip lighting now increasing from a 3-year to a 5-year warranty (excluding iLight).
- Updated iLight by Luminii features, including canopy finish options, connector enhancements, and refined documentation.
All Luminii built fixtures and LED strip specifications have been updated as part of the Gen 2 rollout, ensuring system-wide consistency from specification through installation.
BUILT FOR LIGHTING DESIGNERS, SPECIFIERS, AND THE FIELD
Gen 2 supports Luminii’s core customers, including lighting designers, architects, interior designers, AV dealers, and home builders by delivering:
- More output flexibility with fewer strip families
- Expanded Warm Dim and Tunable White options
- Smaller profiles for tighter architectural integration
- Backward-compatible migration paths from legacy products
- No planned price increases for the Gen 2 platform upgrade
“From a sales perspective, Gen 2 strengthens every conversation we have with our customers,” said Amy Bonder, Chief Commercial Officer at Luminii. “We’re delivering clear performance advantages, broader specification flexibility, and a simplified platform, all without increasing cost. It makes Luminii easier to specify, easier to sell, and even more competitive across a wide range of projects.”
Luminii has also expanded its digital tools at launch, including updated power consumption calculators, dotting and compatibility tools, and refreshed specification resources to support faster, more confident design decisions.
