Beta Calco: BLADE SYSTEMS – Suspended Linear Lighting

October 30, 2026

BLADE SYSTEMS: Offers Comfortable, Even Light in Whatever Geometry the Space Calls For

Beta Calco’s BLADE SYSTEMS brings the Light Guide Plate optics behind the BLADE circular family to linear lighting, in the same ultra-slim 3/4″ profile. A micro-dot pattern engraved into optical-grade acrylic converts edge-mounted LED light into smooth, uniform illumination with low glare, achieving UGR below 19 in direct/indirect configurations.

Built as a true system, straight runs join with curves and X, Y, and L sections into continuous layouts that follow the architecture, from a single run over a workstation to a hexagonal pattern spanning a board room or open office. The result is comfortable, even light in whatever geometry the space calls for.
