Linear Solutions for Shallow Plenum and Low Ceiling
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.
