"It also gives designers something they always wanted: another canvas to create beautiful visual elements within their projects. Whether accentuating architectural characteristics, lighting with or without a ceiling, or lighting between wood slat ceilings, FINCH outperforms the competition with the market's highest lumen output and a field-replaceable LED that ensures it lights for life."

FINCH fits comfort, sustainability and architectural aesthetics within an inch in several ways, including:

• Industry-Leading Output: Discreet 1" aperture delivers accent or general illumination up to 1500 lumens with low surface brightness.

Each offers a sleek, simple design that goes well with modern architecture and minimalist interiors. FINCH is fun and lively without being too much and can be customized to produce stunning visual impressions, such as blending into large spaces to create a starry sky effect.
• Two-Tone Finishes: Designers can mix and match the inside and outside finishes of the whole family for a truly customized aesthetic. Standard finish options include black, white, silver, gold, bronze and dark bronze, with others coming soon.
