NCO S44 Optics
Compact 4x4 Nano Cavity Optics for High Precision Downlighting
The Nano-Cavity Optics (NCO) S44 optics family is a compact 4×4 optical engine designed for high-performance ultra-low glare architectural lighting applications where visual comfort and precise beam control are critical. Measuring just 3” × 3”, the module integrates sixteen deep-recessed low-glare optic cells engineered to achieve UGR<12 performance while delivering clean, controlled light distributions. The optic is designed to align directly over the NCO S44 LED board, creating a tightly integrated lighting platform optimized for downlights, architectural ceilings, hospitality environments, and modern commercial interiors. Available in configurable front-plate finishes including bronze, black, grey, and white, the NCO S44 combines technical optical performance with a refined architectural aesthetic suitable for premium lighting systems.
The result is higher performance, faster development, and more predictable lighting outcomes.
