Alude 45 is a slim brass frame that brings interior refinement to an exterior wall.
The Design Story
Mick De Giulio, celebrated for his kitchens, designed Alude for the moment a room opens to the outdoors.
Its strong metal tones and minimal form read the same inside and out.
Why You'll Love It
It looks crafted rather than utilitarian, so an entry feels as considered as the living room.
Made for Real Life
There are no bulbs to change: the LED is built in. Give it a rinse with mild soapy water now and then to keep the finish fresh. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV, TRIAC or 0-10V dimmer for evening light.

Mick De Giulio designed it so that it is a slim brass frame that brings interior refinement to an exterior wall. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Alude family, which comes in several sizes and versions.
Which Alude 45 finish suits my exterior?
Our take: brass brings warmth to wood and earthy tones; bronze is rich and moody.
Will the Alude 45 light up my front entry?
It is a soft glow (about 48 lumens) for atmosphere and wayfinding; add other lights for steps and the driveway.
Which doors and walls suit the Alude 45?
At 45″ it is facade scale, for double-height entries, courtyards and tall walls.
Can the Alude 45 handle storms and sprinklers?
