Gotham Lighting Adds Bevel Trim to IVO Family, Boosting Design Control, Modularity

Acuity Brands' Gotham IVO Bevel Trim

Gotham Lighting expanded its IVO downlight and cylinder family with new bevel trim options, giving contractors a cleaner ceiling look without adding complexity to installation. The trims build on the IVO platform’s modular approach, offering a more refined aesthetic while keeping the workflow familiar and predictable for crews in the field.

The bevel profile softens the edge of the aperture and tightens cut‑off, which helps reduce source visibility in glare‑sensitive spaces. Offices, hospitality, retail and education projects can all benefit from that extra bit of visual comfort. And because the geometry works with Gotham’s existing optical system, contractors don’t have to worry about changes to beam performance or color consistency.

Gotham’s twist‑and‑lock interface lets installers swap trims without tools, rewiring or ceiling disruption. If a designer changes direction late in the schedule or the owner wants a more architectural finish after seeing the space lit, crews can quickly adjust: no housing changes, no patching, no re‑aiming.

The bevel trims slot into the broader IVO family, covering downlights and cylinders across multiple apertures. That consistency simplifies stocking and ordering, and it means contractors don’t have to learn a new interface just to accommodate a different trim style. The system stays modular, and the job stays efficient.

Technical Specs at a Glance

  • Bevel trim geometry engineered for tighter cut‑off and reduced source visibility
  • Field‑interchangeable trims using Gotham’s twist‑and‑lock interface; no tools required
  • Compatible with IVO downlights and cylinders across all supported apertures
  • Maintains optical performance through Bounding Ray design for consistent beam control
  • Supports multiple beam distributions and lumen packages without altering the trim interface
  • 0.5‑step MacAdam color consistency maintained across trims and fixture types
  • Trim swaps require no rewiring, ceiling patching, or re‑aiming
  • Suitable for commercial, hospitality, retail, and institutional applications where glare control is critical

For designers and owners, the bevel option delivers a more polished ceiling and better visual comfort. For contractors, it’s another piece of the IVO platform that respects their time and keeps the install straightforward.
