Grid Cove, Comfort Vue and Hornet 2.5 Deliver Exceptional Comfort, Superior Lighting Performance and Streamlined Installation.
OAKLAND, N.J. – March 17, 2025 – Amerlux will unveil three revolutionary new products at LEDucation 2025, further expanding its reputation for innovation in architectural lighting.
The award-winning lighting manufacturer said today it will showcase its latest additions—Grid Cove, Comfort Vue and Hornet 2.5—at the New York Hilton Midtown’s Americas Hall 2, Booth #AH2-4702/4704. Grid Cove was nominated as a Top 10 must-see product at LEDucation and is on the shortlist for a possible [d]arc award.
The innovative fixtures address some of the biggest challenges in modern lighting. Grid Cove, for instance, enhances grid ceilings with a sleek, cost-effective cove lighting solution that elevates design and eliminates the need for complex sheetrock installations. Comfort Vue Comfort Vue uses small 1″ cells that run the length of the fixture and into corners for even illumination that is glare free that directs your eyes away from the source to the illuminated space. And Hornet 2.5 redefines small-aperture downlighting with powerful, precision-engineered performance, delivering high-output illumination, superior control and adjustability up to 40 degrees without sacrificing beam integrity.
“We designed these products to push the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Chuck Campagna, President and CEO at Amerlux. “Each collection is engineered for maximum comfort, performance and streamlined installation, bridging the gap between premium aesthetics and practical efficiency. Whether creating floating ceilings with Grid Cove, achieving glare-free linear illumination with Comfort Vue or harnessing the power of the industry’s most powerful small-aperture downlight with Hornet 2.5, Amerlux continues to set new standards.”
The following outlines how Amerlux does it with each new solution:
Grid Cove: Comfortable, Stylish Cove Lighting Without Intensive Labor
Cove lighting has long been a staple of sheetrock applications, adding style and sophistication with indirect illumination. Grid Cove brings that same elevated effect to grid ceilings, delivering high-end design at a fraction of the installation cost.
Additional benefits include:
- A sharp knife-edge design that ensures no visible LED sources for a sleek, sophisticated aesthetic.
- Three configurations: Wall-mounted for indirect ceiling illumination, perimeter-mounted for floating ceiling or wall-washing effects, and cove-mounted, including center cove configurations, for ambient indirect illumination.
- Elevated aesthetics without excessive costs, making it ideal for corporate, retail and hospitality spaces seeking premium, indirect lighting without the complexity of traditional cove installations.
Comfort Vue: Evenly Diffused, Glare-Free Linear
The Comfort Vue linear system delivers evenly diffused, glare-free illumination with precision optics and a seamless, fully lit design, eliminating harsh LED visibility and cover plates for end-to-end brilliance in offices, conference rooms, hospitality spaces and high-end retail.
Additional benefits include:
- Fully lit linear runs with no dark corners, thanks to a single-cell design for seamless illumination.
- Four flexible mounting options: recessed for a seamless appearance, surface-mounted for adaptability, pendant-mounted for uplight and downlight versatility and perimeter-mounted with its own unique wide and uniform beam distribution.
- Precision molded louvers combine with metallized molded optics deliver high performance lighting with industry-best visual comfort.
- Comfortable, flicker-free lighting designed for optimal comfort in professional and hospitality environments.
Hornet 2.5: Downlight Produces Industry-Leading 2200 Lumens
Amerlux’s Hornet 2.5 delivers 2200 lumens at 90 CRI and 100 LPW from a compact 2.5-inch aperture, outperforming competitors with a discreet ceiling presence.
Additional benefits include:
