Luminii has announced the launch of its Gen 2 LED platform, a comprehensive next-generation system that re-engineers the core lighting “engine” behind the majority of the company’s LED strip lighting and made-to-order linear fixtures. Luminii will be showing the new platform at Lightapalooza 2026.
More than a product update, Luminii’s Gen 2 platform represents a full-scale evolution of the company’s linear ecosystem, introducing five new LED strip families, expanded outputs and CCTs, improved efficacy, tighter cut increments, enhanced dimming performance, and a standardized LED strip architecture that both simplifies the portfolio and expands compatibility across fixtures and extrusions.
Luminii is introducing five next-generation LED strip families, spanning 21 outputs and 13 CCT options, designed to replace and consolidate previous tape generations while expanding performance and flexibility. The Gen 2 LED strip families are available in region-specific configurations to support both North American and EMEA markets:
All LED strip lights are now standardized to a 10mm form factor, allowing them to fit into more compact extrusions and fixtures while simplifying connectors and installation.
The Gen 2 platform delivers measurable, specification-driven advantages, including:
- Color quality of 97+ CRI and 95+ R9
- Efficacy that reached 120+ lm/W for Vibrant Color and up to 160+ lm/W for High Efficacy
- Extended run lengths enabled by 4 oz. copper PCBs, reducing voltage drop over long distances
- Ultra-short cut increments, down to 0.66 inches (16.8 mm), for precision in the field
- Improved dotting with dual-CCT LED packages in Warm Dim and Tunable White strips
- Enhanced wet-location performance using a new white silicone co-extrusion for increased efficiency and a more refined appearance
Warm Dim performance is further elevated through PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming compatibility with Luminii’s PS-UNI power supply, delivering a nuanced dimming curve without the need for specialized drivers.
System-Wide Updates
In addition to new LED strip lighting, Gen 2 includes updates across other products, including:
- All-new Myka Asymmetric Surface (MKA) for millwork and shelf applications.
- Enhanced Myka compatibility: Warm Dim and Tunable White LED strips are now available in a standardized 10mm width, enabling seamless integration across Myka fixtures and extrusions and bringing Warm Dim and Tunable White performance to the Myka family for the first time.
- Revitalized mCove REC, now compatible with Gen 2 strip lighting and simplified ordering.
- Extended warranty coverage, with Luminii wet fixtures and wet-location LED strip lighting now increasing from a 3-year to a 5-year warranty (excluding iLight).
- Updated iLight by Luminii features, including canopy finish options, connector enhancements, and refined documentation.
All Luminii-built fixtures and LED strip specifications have been updated as part of the Gen 2 rollout, ensuring system-wide consistency from specification through installation.
All Gen 2 LED strip lights and reels are available worldwide, with a phased transition plan in place to support customers migrating from previous generations throughout 2026.
