Form Factor & Design Profile

The RAB BOA Edge 3ft linear fixture features a super-slim profile engineered from extruded aluminum and heavy-gauge sheet metal, providing exceptional rigidity and passive thermal management. Designed for seamless modern architectural interiors, the luminaire includes tool-free quick-link connectors that allow fixtures to join into long, uninterrupted continuous rows without visible seams or light gaps. Its low-profile 3/4" body height and 3-1/8" width integrate elegantly into open ceilings, modern offices, educational facilities, and commercial corridors.

Smart & Control Features

The RAB BOAE3PS linear luminaire features flexible control integration supporting standalone architectural dimming and modular wireless automation:

• 0–10V Continuous Dimming (Standard): Dims smoothly down to 10% on standard 0–10V low-voltage control circuits. Compatible with commercial architectural dimmers and centralized building automation systems (BAS).
• Lightcloud Blue Wireless Control (Accessory): Compatible with field-installable Lightcloud Blue sensor modules for Bluetooth mesh group control, automated scheduling, daylight harvesting, and motion detection without requiring an external gateway or hub.

Compatible plug-and-play sensor modules include BOAE-PIR/S (PIR sensor module, silver), BOAE-MVS/S (microwave sensor module, silver), BOAE-LCBS/S (Lightcloud Blue PIR sensor module, silver), and BOAE-LCBS/MVS/S (Lightcloud Blue microwave sensor module, silver) — sold separately.
