New Manufacturer: Liteline
Liteline has been building lighting in Canada since 1979, and it’s still independent and family-owned, which in this industry is now the rarer half of that sentence. We added the line in August 2020. The reason it stays on the card is coverage: ALR, Edge, FORUM linear, Helios, KLICK, LUNA, Sigma and the FORUM panels between them cover most of what an ordinary commercial job needs, from one supplier, on one purchase order.
- Quick ship: 2 day shipping for in-stock items, 7 days for made to order
- Lifetime warranty on many items
- Canadian Company
Why it stays on the card
Two days for stock and seven for made-to-order is the part that decides projects, though. Here are the lines we reach for most.
The lines we reach for
Luna
Luna gives you the housing, trim and lamp look without the depth or the heat of one. It’s wet-location rated and the gimbal tilts, and you pick the colour temperature at the fixture, so one part number covers the bathroom, the soffit and the hallway instead of three. See the Luna range
KLICK
KLICK is track without the fiddle. The modules snap in and out of the powered track by hand, so a tenant who rearranges a gallery wall next year doesn’t need an electrician to do it. See KLICK
Edge
Edge lays into a T-bar grid and takes its light to the edge of the tile, so you get the output of a recessed fixture without the footprint of one in the ceiling plan. It lays in and the acoustic tile sits on top. No trimming, no coordination fight with the mechanical drawing. See Edge
Sigma
Sigma is the one to look at when a space needs output and warmth at once: some of the range puts out 4,400 lumens. Lumens are how much light actually comes out of the fixture, as opposed to how much power goes into it, and 4,400 is enough to light a tall room from fewer points. The dim-to-warm versions drift toward candlelight as they dim instead of staying cold and blue. See Sigma
Track
Their track is the workhorse for retail and gallery walls, with enough punch to hold a display and dim-to-warm heads where the room turns into an evening space. See the track range
SlimLED
SlimLED is the thin one. It’s worth being straight about what it’s for: a budget, a ceiling with nothing above it, a retrofit where a housing won’t fit. The trade is geometry. The light source sits at the ceiling plane rather than set back up inside a housing, so you see the source itself from more of the room. Where that matters, buy the depth. Where it doesn’t, this is the sensible place to spend the money. See SlimLED
Liteline is designed around installation and project economics, which is a polite way of saying it goes in fast and it prices well. Neither is a small thing on a job that’s already behind. See the full collection brochures here.
