With the addition of the Krest Mud-In System, Luminii expands its portfolio of architectural-grade linear solutions, supporting a broader range of commercial and specification applications.
Chicago, IL — Luminii, a leading manufacturer of specification-grade architectural lighting, announces the launch of Krest™, an all-new linear mud-in lighting system engineered to deliver clean, trimless integration with a simplified and highly controlled installation process.
Designed as a complete system rather than a collection of components, Krest redefines how mud-in lighting is specified and installed. Developed in direct response to customer feedback, it eliminates familiar challenges such as complex installation, excessive field modification, and inconsistent outcomes that deliver a more streamlined process and consistently high-quality results across applications.
Krest is built around three core principles: simplicity, system logic, and consistency. The system is engineered to simplify installation—an approach driven directly by customer feedback—reducing reliance on field modification and minimizing variability between installers. A turn-key ordering structure allows complex configurations to be specified and delivered as a complete solution through a single part number, streamlining both specification and procurement. Across the family, a shared light engine platform and LED extrusion (excluding Krest Wash) ensure consistent performance, installation approach, and visual results, bringing greater control and consistency to every application.
“With Krest, we took an installation-first approach,” said Amy Bonder, Chief Commercial Officer for Luminii. “This is about giving designers and contractors greater confidence by removing complexity in the field while helping teams work more efficiently, saving time and cost, and reducing risk. It creates a more streamlined path from concept to completion, ensuring the final result reflects the original design intent.”
The Krest Mud-In Family includes five purpose-built linear profiles:
- Krest Edge™ – perimeter and straight edge reveal lighting
- Krest Corner™ – seamless 90° corner transitions
- Krest Duo™ – symmetric recessed slot and indirect lighting
- Krest Reveal™ – recessed accent reveals and wall detail
- Krest Wash™ – high-performance wall wash with proprietary optical control
Engineered as a unified platform, Krest standardizes installation across multiple applications while utilizing shared components and a consistent light engine, streamlining both specification and execution.
Exceptional Quality of Light
Krest leverages Luminii’s latest high-performance LED technology to deliver consistent, dot-free illumination with excellent color quality and uniformity across applications. With a full range of strip light, including VC72, HE64, WD51, TW51, RGB42, RGBW36, and RGBWX18, Krest ensures the same level of visual precision and performance designers expect from Luminii.
Key System Benefits Include:
- Complete system design for simplified specification and ordering
- Faster, easier installation with minimal field modification
- Reduced contractor risk through controlled, repeatable processes
- Consistent, predictable results that align with design intent
- Clean, trimless integration across architectural surfaces
Engineered for the Field
Krest is differentiated by its installation-first design. Pre-engineered power feed sections with integrated wiring access eliminate the need for field-cutting, reducing installation time while improving consistency and control. A shared light engine platform standardizes installation across applications, while enabling long-term serviceability after installation.
AVAILABILITY
Krest is available now, with expanded marketing and product resources rolling out through Q2.
