Light Forms is proud to announce the launch of Lightplane 45, a sleek and innovative linear lighting system engineered to meet the evolving needs of architects, designers and commercial specifiers. After a successful soft launch period – during which the system has already been designed into and installed across several high-end projects – Lightplane 45 now enters full market release with expanded configurations, advanced optics, and a modular design philosophy that redefines flexibility.
Lightplane 45 is not simply a linear luminaire – it is a modular lighting platform. The system allows designers to build tailored lighting solutions without altering installation methods or compromising insulation. Its 45mm-wide profile integrates seamlessly into architectural environments, creating a ‘Ribbon of Light’ effect in recessed applications.
The platform supports continuous opal or prismatic light ribbons, interchangeable optics in Chrome, Black or White, and compatibility with Powergear’s 3circuit and 3circuit DALI track.
Designed specifically for high-end commercial applications and excelling in premium commercial workspaces, Lightplane 45 delivers the performance, visual comfort and configurability demanded by today’s design-led projects.
Lightplane 45 is available in two core variants – LP45 LED and LP45 Optic – each offering distinct optical capabilities:
LP45 LED
Lens options: Lowglare prismatic or opal diffuse
Output: Up to 5128lm/m and 118lm/W
UGR: Lowglare configurations with dual extruded microprismatic lenses
Configurations: Individual, continuous runs or custom shapes
Light distribution: Direct, indirect or direct/indirect
LP45 Optic
Lens options: 60°, 80° batwing or asymmetrical optics, with Matt White, Matt Black or Chrome shades
Configurations: 4cell modules or multiples of 7 cells
Output: Up to 4681lm/m and 156lm/W
Light distribution: Direct, indirect or direct/indirect
Both variants offer <1% output ripple, WELL compliance and dimming to 0%, ensuring exceptional visual comfort and compatibility with humancentric lighting strategies. Lightplane 45 supports a full suite of control protocols, including DALI, 1–10V, DMX, phase control, and wireless options on request. Additional features include: Integral emergency options Optional integrated spotlights and proximity sensors RAL and special powdercoat finishes TM65 and TM66 documentation available upon request Power tolerance ±1W; lumen output tolerance ±5% The system has been engineered for simplified installation to ensure a clean, robust fit. Its modularity allows multiple modules to be mixed and matched effortlessly, supporting both standard and bespoke project requirements. With more innovations planned for release this year, Lightplane 45 marks the beginning of a new generation of modular architectural lighting from Light Forms.
