Tools for Architects of Light. Built to Last. Built to Belong.
Black54 crafts architectural lighting systems guided by a philosophy of precision, control and responsible innovation shaped by decades of architectural insight.
Au fil des années, beaucoup a été écrit sur la relation profonde entre la lumière et l'architecture. Cette nouvelle entreprise offre un aperçu unique du parcours de l'architecte Jan Van Lierde, dont les expériences variées ont abouti à la création de Black54. Sa carrière s'étend sur des décennies de pratique architecturale, de développement de produits, de conseil en éclairage, ainsi qu'un monde de voyages et de rencontres inspirantes.
De son sac à dos rempli d'idées est né un distillat qui emprunte une nouvelle voie—non seulement dans la vision de la lumière en tant que produit, mais aussi dans la manière dont la communication et la distribution ont été repensées. C'est une traversée d'une vie passionnée par la lumière et l'architecture.
Une entreprise respectueuse repose sur des partenariats—des partenaires en recherche, en production, et surtout en marketing et en vente.
Black54 adopte une approche stratégique pour les trois prochaines années, visant à nouer des relations à long terme et à développer de nouveaux concepts et produits.
Notre objectif est de créer des relations significatives, en profitant de chaque étape de notre processus, tout en construisant une communauté qui ressemble à un club privé, avec des membres et des invités spéciaux qui explorent notre univers de design et de technologie.

ESSENTIALS
Light as an Element of Architecture:
Black54 creates accent lighting that complements architecture quiet, flexible, and built to enhance spatial quality without excess.
CONTROLS
Intelligent Light, Intuitive Experience:
Lighting should respond like nature. Our systems offer precise, user-centered control that supports rhythm, comfort, and clarity.
EASE OF INSTALL
Designed for the Entire Process:
From smart packaging to intuitive wiring, Black54 simplifies installation with clean, efficient solutionstailored to the job site.
UGR < 6
Optical Performance Without Distraction:
Every luminaire is engineered to stay below UGR 10—delivering high output, perfect color, and visual calm in every beam.
SHAPE OF DESIGN
A Language of Purpose:
Form follows function. Our minimal aesthetic is shaped by use, finished with care, and built to last across time and context.
ESG
Built with a View Toward Tomorrow:
Sustainability guides every step—from long-life performance to responsible materials and a circular product lifecycle.
IP44
Protection Built In:
Resists dust and moisture for reliable use in humid or semi-outdoor zones. Prevents corrosion and ingress to keep performance stable over time.
40 mm DEPTH
Minimal Space, Full Output:
Fits into shallow cavities and acoustic panels without sacrificing optical quality. Ideal for renovations and tight layouts.
ADJUSTABLE BEAM
One Fixture, Multiple Effects:
Beam angle can be tuned on site from accent to general lighting. Reduces product variants and supports changing layouts.
TUNABLE WHITE
Adaptive Color Temperature:
Ranges from 1800 K to 4000 K for warm ambience or focused task light. Aligns artificial light with natural daily cycles.
FLEXIBILTY
Modular by Design:
Supports recessed, surface, pendant, and track use. Easily integrates with sensors and control systems.
FINISHES AND COLORS
Adaptive Color Temperature:
Ranges from 1800 K to 4000 K for warm ambience or focused task light. Aligns artificial light with natural daily cycles.
AUTOMATION
Lighting That Responds:
Compatible with DALI, KNX, and wireless systems. Enables scheduling, zoning, occupancy, and daylight response.
20 kHz DIMMING
Flicker-Free Performance:
High frequency dimming for camera stability and visual comfort. Suitable for WELL and EN 12464 environments.
SIGNAGE AND WAYFINDING
Guidance Through Light:
Defines circulation paths and spatial transitions. Supports navigation and identity in public and commercial settings.
DRAMA
Contrast That Shapes Space:
Reveals form and texture with controlled brightness ratios. Adds narrative and depth to interior volumes.
3D FILES and BIM
Accurate Digital Integration:
Provides full geometry and photometry for coordination. Reduces design errors and speeds approvals.
PHOTOMETRY
Verified Technical Data:
Supplied with certified IES and LDT files for precise calculations and compliance.
COLORIMETRY
Consistent Color Across the Project:
Strict binning under 2 MacAdam keeps tones uniform under dimming and temperature shifts.
UV FREE
Protection for Sensitive Material:
Zero UV output prevents fading of pigments, textiles, and artworks.
EXTENDED 5 YEAR WARRANTY
Long Term Assurance:
Covers the luminaire and driver as one system. Reduces lifecycle cost and risk.
ZOOMABLE LENS
Adjustable Optics:
Manual 15 to 50 degree zoom for accent or wash lighting without replacing hardware.
CRI 98
High Fidelity Rendering:
Reveals true material color and texture. Suitable for galleries, fashion, and high end interiors.
APP CONTROL
Wireless User Control:
Adjust intensity, color temperature, and presets from mobile devices. Fits into smart building ecosystems.
