Pose Knife Edge

Ribbons of light featuring SurroundLite

Aesthetics. Performance. Versatility.

The sleek profile of Pose® Knife Edge is at once a lighting solution and an architectural element. As with Pose®, it combines superior aesthetics, quality performance and unparalleled versatility, and offers new opportunities to capture the beauty and benefits of true asymmetric lighting without angled optics or bulky mounting hardware. Pose® Knife Edge also features our highperformance, patented asymmetric SurroundLite™ optic for superior visual comfort and functionality.

A Distinct Profile Ideal for Cove Lighting

Featuring the smallest knife-edge profile in the lighting industry, Pose® Knife Edge creates cove lighting where there is no cove architecture. Add cove details without the hassle and cost of building coves, whether in new construction or renovation. As a shallow ledge or hidden indirect light source, use Pose Knife Edge to design your own cove-less cove.

A Clean Look That Fits Nicely

Design simplicity and architectural esthetics lay the foundation of Pose Knife Edge®, a timeless, compact form that lends itself to creating an appealing soft glow. With its clean lines and lightweight aluminum construction, Pose Knife Edge appears to be floating. Its streamlined look is enhanced by a smooth, pixelation-free uniform lens.

Lighting Options You Can Work With


Choose from two optics, two sides and two mounting planes. Match the indirect asymmetric optic with a solid nonluminous bottom, ideal for traditional cove lighting effect. Or combine asymmetric and Lambertian distribution options for a direct/indirect effect. Then, mount to wall or surface using any of two mounting orientations: right angle or step.

Innovative, affordable cove lighting

Open up the space in unexpected ways. Use Pose® Knife Edge and Pose® with an asymmetric optic for existing coves. Or create cove-less coves with a second illuminated side emitting a soft glow. Produce cove lighting effects in recessed pockets of space and ceiling indents
