Dado Lighting is a new manufacturer that we were introduced by Oblaney Rinker and Associates. They specialize in thin profile linear LED fixtures that are the thickness of 5/8" gypsum board. This opens up more possibilities in terms of installation without having to be concerned with studs running through. The fixtures are offered in 1 1/2", 2 1/2" and 3" widths. They provide the fixtures in two pieces, the extruded housing and the LED boards. The contractor can field cut the housing to the nearest mm. The LEDs are edge lighting the boards which allow for the fixture to be so slim without seeing any nodes.
Not only is the slim profile a great aspect of the fixtures, but they can provide up to 24' with a continuous lens. Dado can also do curves and corner pieces as well as rounded, angled or straight end pieces.
Dado also has a couple of deeper fixtures, the Liftline and the Hardline. The Liftline uses direct facing LEDs as opposed to the side mount like the other shallower fixtures.
Mirrorline was a fixture we were very interested in seeing. It uses the shallow profile and is intended to be mounted behind sandblasted mirrors. Since it has the slim profile, it does not require any special framing.
