Cooledge Lighting

What Cooledge Lighting does

Cooledge Lighting is a privately held Canadian specialty lighting company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, operating as a portfolio company of Aither Global Holdings alongside Velaria Systems and Nanometer Lighting. The company designs and manufactures paper-thin, flexible LED lighting technology (TILE and LINE product families) and large-format luminous ceiling systems (SkySpan and SkyLine) that emulate natural outdoor light, plus acoustic luminaires (FABRILum) that combine immersive illumination with sound-absorbing performance. Its core differentiator is the ability to install uniform, high-CRI illumination behind stretch fabric, glass, or other diffusive materials with minimal 2-4 inch setback requirements, enabling architectural integrations that conventional fixtures cannot support. The product portfolio spans core luminous ceilings, acoustic luminaires, TILE lighting systems in multiple variants (Interior, Exterior, Tunable White, W+RGB, Acoustic), LINE linear systems, and the LumiScapes e-commerce sub-brand (FABRICore, FABRICloud, FABRIQuiet) for residential and smaller commercial applications.

Core offering

Cooledge Lighting designs and manufactures paper-thin, flexible LED lighting systems including luminous ceilings (SkySpan, SkyLine), acoustic luminaires (FABRILum), and modular TILE/LINE lighting systems for integration into architectural surfaces. Products deliver uniform, high-CRI illumination with minimal 2–4 inch setback behind fabric, glass, or other diffusive materials, combining immersive lighting with acoustic performance. The company sells primarily to commercial and architectural projects through a global network of authorized Lighting Partners, with a smaller consumer line (LumiScapes) sold via e-commerce.

Product overview

Cooledge Lighting is a provider of large-scale luminous ceiling products and immersive illumination systems. The product portfolio centers on three core product lines: (1) Luminous Ceilings (SkySpan and SkyLine) delivering ambient, natural-feeling illumination through fabric and stretch ceiling integrations; (2) Acoustic Luminaires (FABRILum and Bespoke Luminaires) combining immersive illumination with true acoustic performance and noise reduction; and (3) TILE Lighting Systems (Interior, Exterior, Tunable White, W+RGB, Acoustic) providing paper-thin, flexible, modular LED solutions for seamless architectural integration. The TILE product family offers various control options including tunable white (2700K-5700K), Dim-To-Warm, and RGB color capabilities. Additionally, the LumiScapes e-commerce sub-brand offers FABRICore, FABRICloud, and FABRIQuiet products featuring fabric-embedded LEDs with acoustic properties. The company also provides custom FABRICated Luminaires and the LINE system for perimeter and cove lighting applications.
