The Incito LED downlight series provides MIT with adjustable

The Incito LED downlights were specifically adjusted to create the perfect lighting solution for the reading area,” said Gary Tondorf-Dick, MIT Department of Facilities, Manager of Special Projects. “We successfully achieved our goals with one solution. The alternative would have been to select more than one type of fixture, but this would have made the color matching process of each luminaire’s light output more difficult.

The Incito LED downlight series provides MIT with adjustable and instantaneous dimming capabilities, consistent color quality, high efficacy and a variety of lumen packages. These features allow MIT to configure luminaires for its 70-foot ceiling heights and, in general, enable configurations for 12 to 100-foot ceiling heights. The downlights are paired with YAHAM controls, making the lighting system easily dimmable through a control panel behind the librarian desk.


“The flexibility of the Incito luminaire enabled MIT to achieve both a functional and architectural design with just one solution,” said Douglas Grove, Acuity Brands Lighting Vice President and Gotham Value Stream Leader.. “The precision of the Incito LED luminaires and beam pattern is remarkable. By blending an array of luminaires mounted 70 feet above the reading space with recessed luminaires mounted lower around the parameter, MIT was able to achieve seamless smooth illumination that meets IES standards for reading levels and illuminates the architecture beautifully.
