Kenall Introduces Millenium Flair Series

In a move aimed at modernizing institutional lighting without compromising on durability or performance, Kenall has launched its new Millenium Flair series, according to the Kenall website. The series consists of an impact-resistant, edge-lit LED luminaire designed to meet the demanding needs of educational environments, from K–12 hallways to college dormitories and common areas.

Available in 14-inch and 18-inch diameters and only two inches deep, the Flair series blends contemporary aesthetics with practical function. The design incorporates a softly glowing edge-lit perimeter and a robust center core, offering a modern visual profile that integrates cleanly into academic spaces. Despite its minimal footprint, the fixture carries an IK10 rating for impact resistance and IP64 ingress protection, making it particularly suited for high-traffic and vandal-prone areas such as restrooms, locker rooms, stairwells, and exterior corridors.

Education leaders will find the versatility of the Flair series especially appealing. A single or dual-engine LED system allows for custom lighting configurations, including options for static white, static color, RGB, RGBW, and switchable white/red or white/amber modes. This flexibility not only supports wayfinding and color-coded zoning but also accommodates light-level adjustments tied to occupancy or circadian lighting strategies.

Sustainability and control features round out the offering. Optional integrated motion sensors can reduce energy use through dimming and vacancy-triggered behavior. The units are ADA-compliant and meet Buy American Act and TAA guidelines, key considerations for institutions leveraging federal funding.

The Millenium Flair series aligns well with the evolving demands of educational design: resilient, low-maintenance lighting with a refined appearance that supports both safety and atmosphere. As districts and campuses continue to modernize their facilities, Kenall’s new offering may provide a compelling balance between architectural appeal and institutional-grade reliability.
