Architectural lighting should be high-performing, but never boring–that’s why Graypants is introducing Dash, a linear fixture offering both the technical illumination that hard work needs, as well as an inspiring aesthetic everyone, desires in the workplace. Dash is handmade from recycled and virgin cardboard in Graypants’ Seattle studio and is currently available across North America.

Dash represents the studio’s first entry into technical lighting, with a striking fixture that extends Graypants’ signature Scraplight series into a modern and minimalist high-performance piece. The new fixture was created using environmentally low-impact manufacturing processes–handmade in the Seattle studio, limiting material waste, and assembled with zero-VOC adhesive. Dash is available in three finishes–Natural, White and Blonde–and several lengths and heights.

Dash performs very well in the work environment. Offering up to 1500 lumens per linear foot, Dash uses high-efficiency Phillips LED modules with a CRI of 90 that come stocked in 3500K. The fixture is a direct/indirect luminaire type, utilizing extruded PMMA lenses for accurate optical control and high efficiency. The direct lighting is designed around a 90-degree optic to minimize glare, using an extra-wide beam spread for uniform indirect lighting. Serving a wide range of brightness preferences, the standard 0-10 volt driver is dimmable to 1%.
