Archilume’s glare-free luminaires are a revolution in the use of LED lighting due to the use of the total internal reflection (TIR) optical principle. Archilume’s unassuming simplicity masks a visionary design that transforms energy-efficient LED lighting into clean, modern luminaires. The dimmable lighting collection includes pendant lights, ceiling chandeliers, and wall sconces as well as customized configurations to create impactful feature lighting installations. Designed and manufactured in Vancouver, BC, Archilume’s manufacturing ethics stem from a principle of maximizing the use of smaller local production facilities to create an inherently energy efficient product with a reduced carbon footprint. This business practice contributes to a healthy local economy with high standards of production quality. “We have had huge success in building a practice using local manufacturing because of the high standards of quality control we can exercise with our fabrication partners,” says Archilume owner and lighting designer, Saleem Khattak. “There are many small manufacturers who do good quality work in British Columbia, and we value keeping this production alive and thriving in our home province.” Archilume captures the principle of total internal reflection and diffusion to create sleek glarefree lights in a sculptural form suited for ultra-modern to heritage-style interiors. The Archilume lighting line is intended for illumination at counter and bar areas, or in clustered formations as chandeliers in hotel lobbies, entrances, lounges and dining areas. The line is versatile and offers the option to order custom configurations.
