GE Lighting has teamed up with USG Corporation (NYSE: USG) to bring architects and designers a new monolithic, integrated ceiling and lighting system using cutting-edgeproducts from two leading brands.

Lumination LED Linear Recessed Luminaires bring crisp, pleasing LED illumination to the Logix Integrated Ceiling System.By concentrating lightingin narrow bands running the length of the ceiling, Logix provides the freedom to create modern and sophisticated designswithout the constraints of traditional acoustical ceilings.
"This collaboration was about giving the architecturalcommunity what it wanted—an uninterrupted ceilingand lighting system in one package that makes designer projects much easier," says Jaime Irick, general manager forGE Lighting North America Professional Solutions. "When two innovation leaders like USG and GE come together as our teams have done, the results can start to reshape an industry."
GE's Lumination LED Linear Recessed Luminairesare available in four- and five-foot fixtures measuring four or six inches wide to fit Logix layouts. They consume less electricity than traditional light sources and last years longer before needing replacement.
"The continuous look of Logix panels and Lumination LED lighting is ideal for environments where a clean, uncluttered ceiling is as much a fashionable as functional solution," says Chris Griffin, USG executive vice president, operations. "It has long been a problem to piece together a custom look without the custom price, but now specifying, estimating, ordering and constructing the ceiling your customer always wanted is simple."
