Product SPOTLIGHT: OOOOH™

Explore the OOOOH family: sm.betacalco.com/oof

Glare control that reads as detail.

OOOOH replaces the exposed diffuser with a louver built from an array of elliptical cells, shaped into a tunnel profile. From below, the light is soft and comfortable. From across the room, the louver becomes the feature: here in Satin Gold against a Black housing, running the length of a shared work table.

Direct or direct/indirect, with sections from 4' to 12' joined into continuous runs. Five louver finishes and 13 housing finishes, including three wood grains, so the luminaire can match the room or contrast with it. Ideal for board rooms, open offices, and the modern spaces in between.

Project SPOTLIGHT: ElevateBio

Explore the Endless: sm.betacalco.com/ebf

This is what happens when lighting gets a seat at the design table.

For ElevateBio's board room, the team at DiMella Shaffer specified a cluster of Hexagon luminaires from our Endless family, finished in Black Metallic Textured. Each Hexagon traces a single unbroken six-sided line, a balance between a polygon and a circle. Grouped together, the individual luminaires read as one continuous form above the room.

Product SPOTLIGHT: PUZZLE™

Build your configuration: sm.betacalco.com/puf

Five organic shapes. Three sizes each. A ceiling that reads as a composition, not a grid.

Puzzle is Beta-Calco's curvilinear decorative family, buoyant and cheerful in profile and designed to be grouped into larger arrangements across lobbies, library reading rooms, and the modern spaces in between. Each shape and size is its own separately ordered luminaire, so the layout is specified piece by piece rather than adapted from a single unit.

Two mountings carry the family. Puzzle Suspended comes in Direct or Direct/Indirect, with the largest Direct/Indirect models delivering up to 14,100 lumens. Puzzle Wall or Ceiling Surface is Direct only and ADA rated for wall mounting. Both share nine powder-coat finishes, four color temperatures, and a choice of 80 or 90 CRI.

Product SPOTLIGHT: SQUIGGLE™

Light that goes wherever the design does.

SQUIGGLE is our curvilinear light system built from curves of various radii, straight runs, and joiners. Specifiers shape each run to wrap around structural elements, trace a ceiling line, or carry light through a space in one continuous gesture, so the luminaire reads as part of the architecture, not an addition to it.

Multiple color temperatures and an RGBW option cover everything from clean white light to full color. Ten finishes plus three wood grains give each configuration its own character. Ideal for lobbies, board rooms, and the modern spaces in between.

Stop guessing and start calculating.

Plug in your room dimensions, surface materials, and target reverberation time, and Beta-Calco's Acoustic Calculator estimates your RT60 and how many acoustic luminaires or panels it takes to reach your goal. Watch the quick walkthrough to see how it fits into your specification process.

Product SPOTLIGHT: STARBURST™

Most pendants hold one shape. Starburst opens into the one your space needs.

Designed by Jacob Antoni, Starburst is a kinetic radial-burst pendant offered in three versions, each opening into a single geometric form: the QUAD into a four-sided shape, the RD into a circle, and the TRI into a triangle. Every version reads as a compact star at rest, then its interlacing brackets manually expand into the shape you specify. One shape per pendant, so you choose the form your space calls for.

As a single pendant it hangs as an illuminated art piece. Multiplied and layered, the pieces create a celestial effect across a ceiling. Suspended over a board room, a lobby, or a reception area, it gives modern spaces a strong architectural presence, equal parts statement piece and working luminaire.

Available in 13 finishes, including three wood grains, at CRI 90+.
