Birchwood have reworked their housing for the Jake wallwasher so it is now completely recessed. We took a look at the sample and it has about 1/4" to 1" of a dark spot at the top of the wall. They can provide a kicker reflector that will allow you to get to the top of the wall, however, it will stick down about 1" from the ceiling plane.
They have transitioned all of their fixtures to be constant current and provide options of standard output, high output, or a custom output. The custom output is a great option when you need to comply with restrictive energy codes. You can specify either the delivered lumen output or the wattage per foot needed.
The Ashley is another new fixture they are releasing. It is a surface cove fixture. It is adjustable up to 15° in 5° increments. Birchwood recommends that the fixture be held off 4" from the ends in order to light the cove properly. It is available in various lengths, but is not field cuttable.
Birchwood are also developing a new circular direct/indirect suspended fixture that will be released later this year called Katrina. It will also be available in a direct option as well. Katrina will be offered in either 2' or 4' diameters. Because of the way they have to manufacture the fixture, it is not available with their standard anodized finishes and will be provided with powder coat finishes instead. They can provide two separate circuits. As of now they cannot do an integral emergency option so it would have to be remote.
