Homes

A large open-plan kitchen at dusk with a long pale stone island and oak stools, three slim white Kahlo cylinder pendants in a line over the island, straight lines of warm Hyperion 10 neon under the oak wall cabinets and under the island overhang, small Esuna trimless downlights in the plaster ceiling, and wide glass sliders, closed for the evening, looking out to a deck and a blue-hour garden.

Kitchen lighting

The Kitchen lit by tunable

The heart of the house, lit for every hour.

Scroll Skip to specs

One room, from breakfast to midnight.

Trimless downlights overhead, pendants over the island and a line of light under the cabinets.

The mother in a grey robe sipping her first coffee at the back bench before dawn, the kitchen dark except for a low, warm line of Hyperion 10 neon under the wall cabinets washing down the stone splashback, with a navy pre-dawn sky outside the sliders.

06:15 · First light

Before the house wakes.

Only the line of neon under the cabinets is on, dimmed low and warm: enough light for the first coffee, not enough to wake anyone.

A family's weekday breakfast rush in a bright open-plan kitchen: the father packing lunchboxes behind the stone island, the mother laughing over her coffee, their daughter eating cereal and their son climbing onto a stool with toast, in crisp cool light from small Esuna trimless downlights, with morning daylight on the deck beyond.

07:10 · The morning rush

Bright, first thing.

Small trimless downlights, each in a Ø 85mm cut-out, give the school-day scramble crisp, cool white, with a glare rating of UGR <19.

Out the door by eight. Home again by six.

The mother in a camel trench coat setting a grocery bag on the stone island and laughing, their son reaching into the fruit bowl and their daughter in her school dress dropping her bag on a stool, with Esuna trimless downlights on in the ceiling and Kahlo pendants glowing over the island as the light fades outside.

17:45 · Coming home

Walk in to a lit room.

As the daylight fades, the downlights come up: small openings plastered flush into the ceiling, with no trim to catch the eye.

The father in a rust linen apron chopping red capsicum, tomatoes, herbs and onion on a timber board at the back bench, lit by a straight, even line of Hyperion 10 neon under the oak wall cabinets that washes down the pale stone splashback.

18:15 · Dinner prep

See exactly what you're cooking.

A 10x10mm line of neon under the wall cabinets lights the bench in front of you, not the back of your head: one even glow, with no dots and no gaps.

Tunable white

Focus first. Then unwind.

Cool, clear white while the homework gets done. Warm, low light once the laptop closes. The same downlights do both.

The same kitchen, daughter and father with the Esuna downlights now glowing a warm, low amber. — 2700K, warm white

Tunable white adjusts from 6500K to 2700K.

Also available in a fixed 3000K or 4000K.

The family's friends laughing around the stone kitchen island with grazing platters and wine, the father pouring a glass and the mother laughing beside him, beneath three slim white Kahlo pendants hanging in a straight line over the benchtop and pooling warm light on the food.

Sat 19:30 · Friends over

Everyone ends up at the island.

Slim Kahlo pendants, just Ø 57mm across, hang in one straight line over the stone and pool warm light on the food, with CRI 90.

Beam angles

Wide, or tight.

Beam angles of 24°, 36° and 60°: wide to light the whole bench, tight to keep the light on the platters.

Craft

Small source. Soft edge.

A slim cylinder with the light set deep inside, so what you notice is the pool on the stone and not the lamp.

Diameter: Ø 57mm
CRI: 90
UGR: <19

A dark kitchen late at night, the three Kahlo pendants dimmed right down to a soft warm glow over the stone island and low warm lines of Hyperion 10 neon under the wall cabinets and the island overhang, as the father fills a glass of water at the tap.

23:40 · A glass of water

Just enough light.

The pendants turned right down and the lines under the cabinets and the island dimmed to a soft glow: enough to find a glass, not enough to wake the house.

Control

One kitchen, one system.

Downlights, pendants and neon all run on DALI-2, so breakfast, dinner and midnight can each be a single scene.

How DALI-2 works

The mother kneading dough at the island while their daughter pipes pink icing onto cupcakes and their son, flour on his nose, cracks an egg into a bowl, with raspberries, blueberries and lemons on the floured stone under a straight line of Hyperion 10 neon beneath the wall cabinets.

Sun 10:00 · Baking day

True colours, even the icing.

Under the line of neon, CRI 90 keeps the raspberries red, the blueberries blue and the icing exactly the pink it's meant to be.

The mother and father standing arm in arm in their finished open-plan kitchen at dusk, smiling at each other, with Kahlo pendants glowing over the stone island, Esuna downlights in the ceiling and warm lines of Hyperion 10 neon under the cabinets and the island.
