Define Pivot Hub

Lead Designers Russell Schoenbeck

Entry Description

The Define Pivot Hub breaks the mold of linear lighting connections and redefines how architects and designers bring bold visions to life. The Define Pivot Hub enables creative freedom with fully adjustable intersections of the Define linear series, unlocking geometric layouts once limited by static connectors. Long-distance tolerances are easily handled with adjustable connection points, ensuring seamless alignment without compromise.

Balancing strength with elegance, the Define Pivot Hub is engineered to support significant weight while eliminating secondary supports; a single mounting cable and line-voltage power drop create a clean ceiling aesthetic. This integration of strength and simplicity enhances both visual harmony and performance.

The Define Pivot Hub’s hang, hook, and lock system streamlines the process, eliminating ground assembly or cumbersome lifts. Fixtures can be safely suspended, adjusted, and locked into place with speed and confidence, reducing installation time and issues on site.

The Define Pivot Hub is more than an accessory; it is a design enabler. By merging adjustability, structural strength, and effortless installation, it empowers lighting professionals to move beyond ordinary constraints and realize bold, dynamic patterns that inspire with functional and efficient lighting for all applications of all sizes.

Sustainability Approach

The Define Pivot Hub is an expansion of the Define series, leveraging its serviceable design while avoiding the need for a new linear platform to achieve adjustable intersections. Acting as both an electrical j-box and structural hub, the Define Pivot Hub delivers the full performance of the Define series, enabling efficient, serviceable layouts that reduce energy use while preserving design freedom. Cast as a single component, it simplifies the supply chain and is machined locally to integrate with six sizes of the Define series. In application, the streamlined hang, hook, and lock system reduces installation errors, damage, and rework, which reduces wasted labor, materials, and transportation for fixes. By reducing suspension points and power drops, it further minimizes raw material use and eliminates bulky secondary supports.
