The Aspen

Rotary dimming, perfected.

A machined knurled dial. A warm LED arc that reads across the room. A press that feels like nothing else.

The Aspen

Design

Every detail, hand-considered.

The knurl pattern was walked through seven revisions before we found the grip that feels good to a finger and disappears to the eye. The LED arc is milled into a single aluminum ring so there are no visible segment boundaries. The click under the dial is calibrated to 170 grams.

Colors

Five finishes. Every room.

Same dial, same footprint — pick the plate that suits the room.

White

White, Brushed Aluminum, Anodized Aluminum and Brushed Brass are standard. Black is available on request.

Engineering

Smart where it matters.

Millivolt-precise dimming

The dial is a Class 2 low-voltage control: it commands the Olympus Room Controller’s 0–10V outputs over CAN Bus, so the dimming curve is resolved in the controller rather than in the wall box. Flicker-free from full output down to the driver’s minimum.

Custom dim curves

Square-law, linear, or cinema curves. Pick via the Canyon app or leave at the calibrated default.

8-segment arc

Warm 2700K indicator LEDs, dimmed in proportion so they never distract at night.
