Sun3C Square LED Ceiling Recessed

A merge of Pure Lighting (recessed architectural lighting systems) and Edge Lighting (minimalist suspensions and wall fixtures), Chicago-based PureEdge Lighting offers a robust catalog of innovative lighting systems, scalable to any size space. Award-winning product collections like TruLine and Lazer Line create minimalist lines of light both in and out of the drywall, serving as tools that allow architects and designers to unleash their creativity ... let the drywall be your canvas! TruTrack recessed track lighting takes an existing system, and updates it for the modern era in clean, seamless fashion. Another award-winning, innovative light system - Pipeline Modular is the perfect solution for today's urban lofts and open offices, consisting of rounded bars of light that can be pieced together to weave within the network of ducts and pipes found in today's open ceilings. Other collections - like Tie Stix, Glide and Pix Sticks - deliver linear suspensions perfectly suited for today's modern kitchens and lobbies. In the bathroom, vanity lights and LED lit mirrors bring future technology like Warm Dim and Tunable White to an environment that demands personalization and mood-setting functionality. With so many options, it's no wonder PureEdge Lighting has become the go-to name for high-end residences, offices, retail and more. From projects with Delta and Lyft to Chicago's-own Merchandise Mart, PureEdge Lighting knows a thing or two about illuminating today's best - and brightest - environments.

With a career of over thirty years and counting, Gregory L. Kay is a force in the world of contemporary lighting. Equally talented as a designer, engineer, and entrepreneur, he is due much of the credit for the popularity of sleek, low-voltage technologies used in homes and offices across America.

In 1983, he opened Tech Lighting, Chicago's first all-contemporary lighting showroom, and quickly began designing fixtures. He was particularly excited by the European low-voltage systems that were emerging at the time, with their small bulbs and clean lines. The American National Electric Code would not approve such systems, but as a trained master electrician, Kay assembled a case that led to amendments to the Code. The result was the advent of low-voltage contemporary lighting in the U. S., and Tech Lighting was positioned at the forefront. By 2001, Tech Lighting had become a giant in the industry, supplying 800 showrooms nationwide. Although Kay has since sold the company to pursue other projects, Tech Lighting remains one of today's most respected brands.

Greg Kay has won all of the lighting industry's top awards for design. In 1988, he was the first ever Chicago-based designer to win the prestigious Edwin F. Guth Memorial Award for Interior Lighting Design for his AT&T Information Services Showcase project. Then in 1999, his Symphony Chandelier was named Best New Product Design at Lightfair International. Sparing no details in the creation process, the Symphony was intricately designed with 13 hand-bendable rods, each tipped with a frosted glass stems, and the ability to create any desired shape.

With so many successful fixture designs to his name, Kay retains a few as personal favorites. The Aero, a low-voltage MR-16 lamp fixed head that has a very clean line, a glass handle, and is fully adjustable. Over 40 different shade and finish combinations are possible to provide a custom look. The Lyra, a linear suspension piece that combines indirect fluorescent uplighting with the precision of MR16 downlights. This fixture won the Citation Of Excellence at NeoCon World's Trade Fair 2002, and became one of the signature pieces of Lightology's Architectural Collection. The TwinRail Cloud, originally designed to use over his teenage son's pool table, has two levels of custom-bent chrome rail with metal pendants of airplanes, balloons, a sun, and a parachute. "When I first described it to him," Kay recalls, "he didn't like the idea of airplanes and balloons in his 'adult' room. But when it was installed, he thought it was cool." Last, but not least, the Tigris Recessed Mirror, a low-voltage fixture creating a halo of light around a floating disc. This innovative design combines bright light, flattering colors, and a flush installation that is ideal for bathrooms, where space is limited.

In addition to his role at the helm of Lightology, Kay continues to design fixtures for his latest companies, Pure Lighting and Edge Lighting. Kay founded Pure in 2006, and sister company Edge in 2007, developing two lines of architectural-grade lighting to manufacture sustainable lighting solutions, including low voltage LED lighting and specification grade, energy efficient luminaires. Since 2008, Kay has won 40 industry awards for his Edge Lighting and Pure Lighting products, and has since merged the two together to create PureEdge Lighting.
