Introducing with Lumenwerx Ultra Shalo
Designers, especially in New York City, constantly face the challenge of limited plenum space. Whether you're maximizing ceiling heights in a hospitality project or navigating the crowded ceilings of a healthcare facility, the demand for high-performing, low-profile lighting is greater than ever. Today, we're diving into a solution: the Ultra Shal0 family from Lumenwerx.
Meet the Ultra Shalo Family
The Ultra Shalo series is engineered to deliver powerful, high-quality lighting in an incredibly slim profile. This family of fixtures is designed for versatility, offering solutions for nearly any application where space is at a premium.
Key features across the family include:
Four Aperture Sizes: 1.5", 2", 3", and 5".
High Output: The 2", 3", and 5" models can deliver up to 1,200 lumens per foot.
Minimal Height: All fixtures are less than 1 inch tall, with the 1.5" model measuring just a half-inch.
Versatile Mounting: Options are available for recessed, surface, and perimeter mounting, with compatibility for wood slat ceilings, ACT grids, acoustic baffles, drywall, and other hard surfaces.
Ultra Shalo 1.5: The Ultimate in Slim Design
The Ultra Shalo 1.5 is a marvel of minimalist engineering. At only half an inch tall, it's the perfect choice for the most restrictive spaces.
Profile: A mere 0.5" tall.
Mounting: Exclusively a surface-mount fixture, it can be installed using standard grid clips, magnetic mounts, or an innovative universal wood slat mounting system that ensures a perfectly flush finish regardless of the wood slat manufacturer.
Driver: Due to its slim design, it operates with a remote driver only.
Output: Delivers 750 lumens per foot, optimized for visual comfort and glare control.
Configuration: Available in standalone lengths up to 8 feet or in continuous runs, specifiable in 1-inch increments.

Ultra Shalo 2, 3, and 5: Power and Flexibility
For applications requiring higher output and more mounting options, the 2", 3", and 5" models provide a robust and flexible solution. While still maintaining a slim 1-inch height, these fixtures expand on the family's capabilities.

Optics Options for Shalo Ultra 2,3,5
Mounting: Available in surface, recessed, and perimeter mount configurations.
Driver Options: Can be configured with either a remote driver or an integral driver—an amazing feat given the compact housing.
Output: A powerful 1,200 lumens per foot.
Optics: Two distinct optic choices are available:
SLO (Standard Lambertian Optic): Provides a clean, diffuse, and even distribution of light.
SMPO (Shallow Microprismatic Optic): Features a granular, microprismatic lens that softens the light and mitigates glare, making it ideal for spaces with low ceilings where occupants are closer to the fixtures.
Configurations: Like the 1.5" model, these can be specified in 1-inch increments as standalone fixtures (up to 8 feet) or in continuous runs. A key advantage is the ability to create 90-degree corners for recessed, surface, or perimeter applications, allowing for seamless geometric layouts.
The Lumenworks Ultra Shalo family is a powerful tool for any designer's toolkit. It directly addresses the persistent challenge of shallow plenums without compromising on performance, aesthetics, or installation flexibility. Whether you're working on a commercial, hospitality, or healthcare project, this series offers a sophisticated and effective lighting solution.
