When Rolls Royce wanted to create a uniform lighting scheme for their dealerships, they approached
Farren Faust, Vice President of both Commercial Lighting and CLI Design, for a solution. The
partnership has seen three dealerships completed, with more on the way. The bathrooms at existing
locations presented a challenge. Farren explains, "When we looked at the original design, they wanted
something that was going to be able to go down and be recessed in the corner of the restrooms, and
it had to be something that we could go back to existing locations and add. So PureEdge's Verge
Corner was the best solution and the lights were set at a color temperature of 40K".
Verge Corner is an innovative design
from the family of Plaster-in 24VDC
systems pioneered by PureEdge. It
mounts directly to wall studs or ceiling
joists without any modification, and is
recessed and then plastered into 5/8" or
thicker drywall. Continuing to redefine
the relationship between Lighting
and Interior Design, the Verge system
creates visually interesting and dramatic
illumination by highlighting the inside
Corners of two drywall surfaces such
as ceiling, coves and skylights. Fieldcuttable, Verge Corner is ordered in 1'
increments up to 20', the slim plaster-in
aluminum channel has a 4" paintable
backer plate. Our Designer-grade High
CRI Color Rendering LEDs are offered
in several standard Color Temperatures:
Static white 2200K-5700K, Warm Dim
(27D or 30D) and, Dynamic/Tunable
White (2K6K and 27K6) as well as four
wattage options of 5WDC, 10WDC
and 14WDC. PureEdge is the Original
Designer of 5/8" Drywall Lighting
Products with the Most Experience in
the industry.
Farren concludes, "I like PureEdge because we're able to use them again on
existing projects. You're able to put the lighting in the drywall and not have
to do so much construction in the site. So I like the flexibility of the product as
well as it being able to go into multiple applications, whereas usually something like this would have to be new construction.
You'd have to have a drawing, it would be fabricated to
the size of the wall and it becomes a lot more complicated. It's also something that ends up being done
last. Most other vendors have more complicated fixture specs. So I like the ease of installation and the
ability to do both new and retrofit".
