London, UK, September 14, 2017 - Cooledge wins its first coveted Darc Award with TILE Exterior for luminous surfaces. Breaking tradition across lighting categories, the IP65 rated TILE Exterior system sets new standards for outdoor applications designed to free light from the constraints of traditional fixtures to enable facades, canopies, and entranceways to come to life with light.  

Designed as a complete system, TILE Exterior uniquely combines all of the critical elements required for large-scale luminous exteriors – from rigorously-tested water resistance, to modularity for configuration around virtually any building structure.  The Darc Award recognition is an honor and testament to Cooledge’s product innovation and continued vision for luminous surfaces as the future of illuminating architectural design.
