CSL Luxe Line & Architectural Lighting: The Foundation of Obtainable Luxury

Where precision engineering meets design-forward aesthetics: CSL's architectural lighting creates the perfect foundation for your luxury projects. One portfolio, one source, infinite possibilities.

Performance Meets Design: CSL's Luxury Collections

CSL's precision-engineered fixtures set a new benchmark for luxury residential lighting, marrying uncompromising performance with design-forward aesthetics. Our collections are thoughtfully designed to simplify specifications for architects and designers while delivering exceptional results.

As the recessed foundation of luxury projects, CSL's architectural lighting seamlessly integrates with Hudson Valley Lighting Group's decorative brands to deliver a complete sensory lighting package and establishing the perfect canvas upon which statement pieces can shine.

Light Quality

High CRI illumination with proprietary SilentVuâ„¢ optics ensures exceptional color rendering and minimal glare.

Style

Clean, minimalist designs with premium finishes that complement rather than compete with decorative elements.

Ease of Specification

Engineered for simple installation with options for various ceiling conditions and tight plenum spaces.

CSL Decorative Luxe Line: Where Technology Meets Craftsmanship

Born from a collaboration between CSL's advanced optical technology and HVLG's legacy of craftsmanship, the Luxe line redefines architectural luxury. These fixtures blend seamlessly into upscale interiors while delivering precision illumination.

Luxe Cylinder

Elegant pendants and flush mounts in sophisticated Patina Brass and Distressed Bronze finishes, featuring Whisper-quiet LED modules with SilentVuâ„¢ glare-control optics for high output and high CRI lighting.

Luxe Pivot

A sleek 1" adjustable flush mount with 60° tilt and 360° rotation for complete aiming flexibility. Its low-profile design maintains a clean ceiling appearance while providing performance lighting exactly where needed.

Meticulously engineered to balance superior light output with high design, CSL's Luxe fixtures prove you never have to compromise style for performance in luxury residential lighting.

Whisperâ„¢ Downlights: The Art of Disappearing

CSL's Whisper series embodies the "quiet ceiling" philosophy – it virtually disappears so the focus stays on the space, not the fixture. These ultra-discreet, half-inch aperture LEDs vanish into ceilings while delivering powerful, glare-free light.

Designed for today's clean ceilings, the new Whisper can illuminate a room with an aperture smaller than a dime. It requires as little as 2" of plenum height, making it ideal for tight architectural conditions.

1

Whisper Standard

Fixed downlight with half-inch aperture and proprietary SilentVuâ„¢ optics that produce exceptionally high-quality light with extremely low glare. Perfect for general or accent lighting in luxury spaces.

2

Whisper Flex

Groundbreaking 3/4" adjustable downlight that allows installers to aim and service the light from below the ceiling with ease. Delivers unparalleled visual comfort and minimalist aesthetics without sacrificing performance.

Acrobatâ„¢ Downlights: Ultimate Flexibility and Precision

True to its name, Acrobat is all about flexibility and precision. These architectural LED downlights are ultimate performers, delivering premium light quality with exacting control in any application.

Available in 1", 2", 3", and 4" apertures, Acrobat fixtures feature a unique installation process where the light module installs separately at the end of construction – dropping into the housing and adjusting independently for a perfect, flush fit.

Tool-Free Hot Aiming

The module rotates a full 360°, and a twist of its custom lead screw tilts the beam to the desired angle (up to 30–40° depending on model) and locks it in place. This means designers can achieve precisely targeted lighting without any gaps or glare.

Engineered for Real-World Conditions

Acrobat housings are designed for tight plenum spaces and various ceiling types, with special options like EBAT (integrated emergency battery backup) and ACT (acoustic ceiling tile compatibility) extending its versatility in luxury projects.

Superior Light Quality

Every Acrobat fixture uses CSL's patented SilentVuâ„¢ optics to ensure exceptional quality of light with minimal glare, marrying high performance with a sophisticated architectural finish.

ECOâ„¢ Recessed Downlights: High-End Performance, Budget-Friendly Price

The all-new ECO family proves that cost-conscious lighting can still be high-end. These high-performance yet budget-friendly LED downlights are designed to "over-perform" on light quality, efficiency, and versatility, making them a go-to solution for any luxury project type.

1

Versatile Options

Available in multiple sizes (1", 3", 5") and in both fixed and adjustable models to handle general, task, or accent lighting needs across residential, commercial, hospitality, or retail applications.

2

Premium Components

Despite their value positioning, ECO fixtures use the highest-quality LED chips and high-performance dimming drivers, ensuring smooth dimming to 1% and compatibility with popular control systems.

3

Design Flexibility

Choose from multiple beam spreads (10°, 30°, 50°, 80°) and a variety of trim styles and finishes to achieve the right look for your project. ECO downlights deliver upscale results while staying on budget.

Recessed Lighting: The Foundation of Luxury Projects

CSL's precision architectural lighting serves as the recessed foundation of luxury projects. These downlights provide the hidden backbone of illumination – layering high-quality light throughout a space – while HVLG's decorative pendants, chandeliers, and sconces add the visible jewels that define the room's character.

By starting with CSL's technically advanced, low-profile fixtures, designers create a base layer of perfectly calibrated light (ambient, task, and accent) onto which the decorative pieces can shine. The end result is a holistic lighting design that engages all the senses.

Ambient Light

General illumination that sets the overall brightness level and mood of the space.

Task Light

Focused illumination for specific activities like cooking, reading, or working.

Accent Light

Directional lighting that highlights architectural features, art, or objects.

Decorative Light

Statement fixtures that add character, style, and visual interest to the space.

Seamless Integration: CSL Technology Meets HVLG Design

CSL's integration with HVLG's decorative lines is seamless by design. HVLG now infuses CSL technology into many Hudson Valley and Corbett decorative fixtures, marrying form and function in one step.

This synergy ensures that modern recessed lights and ornate decorative lights work in harmony – matching light quality, color temperature, and finish accents for a cohesive look. A pendant from Hudson Valley Lighting or a bold Corbett chandelier can now feature the performance of CSL's optical system, guaranteeing that even statement pieces deliver serious illumination where needed.

Distinct Brands

Each with its own design DNA, covering every style and application for complete lighting solutions.

Design Possibilities

By combining CSL's cutting-edge performance with HVLG's signature decorative styles, luxury homes achieve a complete lighting package that is both beautiful and highly functional.

One-Source, Design-Diverse Solution: The HVLG Ecosystem

HVLG offers a unique one-stop ecosystem for luxury lighting, making it a smart choice for designers, architects, and custom builders. The group encompasses five distinct brands – each with its own design DNA – covering every style and application.

Hudson Valley Lighting

Refined, timeless fixtures that blend traditional influences with contemporary sensibilities.

Troy Lighting

Earthy, textured modern-rustic elements that bring warmth and character to spaces.

Corbett

Bold, glamorous statement pieces that become the focal point of luxury interiors.

Mitzi

Youthful, clean-lined fixtures with approachable sophistication and modern appeal.

CSL

Precision recessed and architectural lighting that creates the perfect foundation for luxury projects.

Together, these brands enable a designer to fulfill nearly every lighting need in a home – from foyer to kitchen to outdoor patio – through one consolidated source.

Design Diversity Without Sacrificing Cohesion

HVLG isn't a one-note brand but a curated portfolio of styles ranging from traditional to avant-garde. This means an entire project's lighting can be tailored to each space's aesthetic while still coming from a single family of brands.

The benefit is visual cohesion without monotony – different fixtures complement one another, and even when mixing brands, there's an underlying harmony through common threads in finish options, quality standards, and the integration of CSL performance where it counts.

Diverse Aesthetic Options

From traditional to contemporary, rustic to glamorous, the HVLG portfolio covers every design style.

Consistent Quality Standards

All brands share the same commitment to superior craftsmanship, materials, and performance.

Harmonious Integration

Coordinated finishes, technologies, and specifications ensure all fixtures work together seamlessly.

Logistics-Smart: Simplifying Project Execution

The HVLG ecosystem is logistics-smart. Sourcing all fixtures from one company translates to fewer headaches and delays during execution. One vendor means one point of coordination for orders and deliveries, consolidated shipping instead of piecemeal arrivals, and coordinated lead times so that decorative pieces and recessed lights arrive on schedule together.

Consolidated Ordering

With HVLG's unified ordering system and support, consistency is assured – from matching fixture finishes and lamp color temperatures to scheduling one consolidated delivery to the job site.

Streamlined Communication

One point of contact for all lighting needs means clearer communication, faster problem-solving, and less time spent managing multiple vendors.

Coordinated Deliveries

All fixtures arrive together, properly packaged and ready for installation, eliminating delays and ensuring the project stays on schedule.

This streamlining is invaluable on high-end projects where managing dozens of SKUs from different manufacturers can become a logistical nightmare. HVLG turns that chaos into a smooth, one-stop experience.

Showroom Advantage: Whole-Home Lighting Solutions

For lighting showrooms, embracing the CSL line as part of the HVLG family creates powerful new opportunities. Leading with CSL's architectural lighting positions your showroom as a provider of complete whole-home solutions, rather than just decorative fixtures.

By offering both the "behind-the-scenes" lighting and the decorative centerpieces, your showroom becomes a true one-stop partner for designers and their clients – driving larger orders, smoother installations, and repeat business.

Showroom Value: Whole-Home Logistics Simplified

Packaging an entire project's lighting through HVLG allows your showroom to coordinate one comprehensive delivery with all fixtures, reducing handling and ensuring everything arrives together. Fewer vendors means fewer headaches – with consolidated shipping and coordinated timing, projects stay on schedule and clients stay happy.

Storage & Delivery Coordination

As a full-service showroom, you can securely store all lighting fixtures until the job site is ready, then coordinate a single delivery to ensure nothing is damaged or lost during construction.

Layered Lighting Design Services

Your showroom experts can create comprehensive lighting plans that address ambient, task, accent, and decorative lighting needs – a valuable service that online retailers simply cannot provide.

In-House Electrical Services

Offer installation guidance, troubleshooting, and even on-site support through your trained staff or partner electricians, ensuring perfect implementation of the lighting design.

Your showroom can confidently promise streamlined fulfillment, from recessed cans to grand chandeliers, all in one package – a service that brings tremendous value to busy design professionals.

Showroom Value: Technical Expertise and Support

When showrooms sell what they know – the full range of HVLG products including CSL – they can provide better in-house service for both the high-tech and design aspects of lighting.

CSL's fixtures come with the backing of HVLG's training and documentation, so your staff can assist with specifications, installation guidance, and troubleshooting without relying on third parties. This level of support builds trust with builders and designers, who know one phone call to your showroom covers any lighting question.

Showroom Strategy: Reclaiming Decorative Sales

Perhaps one of the biggest advantages for showrooms is the ability to win back decorative lighting business from designers who previously might have sourced fixtures through trade-only or to-the-trade channels.

Lead with CSL Architectural Lighting

Engage designers with CSL's unique architectural lighting solutions, which are exclusively available through HVLG channels. Start conversations about the technical foundation of their luxury projects.

Highlight Value-Added Services

Emphasize your showroom's ability to provide layered lighting design, storage and delivery coordination, and in-house electrical services – conveniences that online retailers simply cannot offer.

This approach helps showrooms recapture the designer clientele, offering them the convenience of a full-package solution they can't get from piecemeal sourcing.

Re-entering the Design Conversation with CSL

One of the most strategic ways for showrooms to engage (or re-engage) top-tier designers is through the CSL conversation. Recessed lighting might not be as glamorous at first glance as a statement chandelier, but it is the critical first layer of any lighting design – and often a pain point in luxury projects that savvy showrooms can help alleviate.

By starting the discussion with CSL's innovative downlights, your showroom can get its foot back in the door with designers who have been sourcing decoratives elsewhere.

Value-Added Services: Layered Lighting Design

Using CSL as the "re-entry point" transforms the showroom-designer interaction into a conversation about complete lighting design. Your showroom experts can offer comprehensive layered lighting plans that address:

Ambient Lighting

CSL recessed downlights establish the overall illumination level, creating a comfortable baseline brightness throughout the space.

Task Lighting

Targeted illumination for specific activities, using adjustable recessed fixtures from the Acrobat or ECO collections to deliver light exactly where needed.

Accent Lighting

Strategic highlighting of architectural features, artwork, or objects using precision-aimed Acrobat adjustables or Whisper Flex fixtures.

Decorative Lighting

Statement pieces from HVLG's decorative brands that add style and character while complementing the foundational lighting.

This design expertise establishes your showroom as an invaluable resource that online retailers simply cannot match – bringing designers back through your doors and keeping them coming back for future projects.

Value-Added Services: Storage & Delivery Coordination

One of the most underappreciated yet valuable services that lighting showrooms provide is comprehensive storage and delivery coordination. This service becomes even more powerful when combined with the CSL and HVLG whole-home lighting package.

Secure Storage

Your showroom can safely store all lighting fixtures – from delicate decorative pieces to technical recessed components – until the job site is ready for installation, protecting them from damage during construction.

Organized Inventory Management

Keep track of all components for a project, ensuring that nothing is missing when installation time comes. This detailed oversight prevents costly delays and ensures smooth project execution.

Phased Delivery Coordination

Coordinate with contractors to deliver exactly the right fixtures at each phase of the project, eliminating on-site clutter and reducing the risk of theft or damage.

Pre-Installation Verification

Check all components before delivery to confirm everything is correct and undamaged, catching any issues before they become problems at the job site.

These logistics services represent a significant value-add that online retailers cannot match, making your showroom an essential partner for busy design professionals.

Value-Added Services: In-House Electrical Expertise

Your showroom's in-house electrical expertise provides tremendous value for designers and clients implementing CSL recessed lighting systems. While online retailers can only sell products, your team can offer comprehensive technical support.

From dimming compatibility questions to driver specifications, your knowledgeable staff can guide designers through the technical aspects of lighting, ensuring their vision is executed flawlessly.

Specification Assistance

Help designers select the right housing, trim, and light engine combinations for each application, ensuring optimal performance in various ceiling conditions.

Dimming Compatibility Guidance

Navigate the complex world of dimming protocols to ensure smooth, flicker-free operation with the client's chosen control system.

Troubleshooting Support

Provide rapid assistance when installation questions arise, preventing costly delays and ensuring proper system operation.

Post-Installation Service

Offer ongoing support for maintenance, upgrades, or adjustments as client needs evolve over time.

This technical expertise transforms your showroom from a mere retailer into an indispensable project partner, strengthening relationships with design professionals who value comprehensive support.
