The other weekend I stopped by the new Van Leeuwen Ice cream Shop in Brooklyn. It was designed by a small firm named Carpenter & Mason. It all looks very nice but what really caught my eye were the extremely minimal tubular ceiling-mounted light fixtures. Does anyone know what they are (name, type, brand, are they fluorescent or actually LED?) Has anyone used fixtures like this in their projects?
Thanks

Don't know the fixtures but I dig the firm's logo. It looks like an architect's seal.
look into retail millwork, slim light or something, off the top of my head

Yea.. I've looked around quite a bit for minimal fixtures. These really seemed as simple as a tube with a very thin (maybe 1/4") white painted metal pieces on both ends affixing the tube to the ceiling. I'll visit again soon and take close up photos. I suspect that its an LED fixture with some kind of concealed balast in the ceiling.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm wondering if they might be Nippo LED with the fixture housing recessed into the ceiling. If you didn't describe there being a piece on both ends holding the tube I would have guessed that they could be the Nippo fluorescent fixture but their fluorescent fixture doesn't have any end caps on the lamp.

hard to tell from the tiny pictures, but there are several manufacturers producing linear led that resembles fluorescent...http://www.techlighting.com/Products/Fixtures/Linear-Suspension/Gia-Linear-Suspension

Pretty easy to make custom fixtures with LED tape ...
Hard to read scale, but would say they are Bunga – Surface, by Zaneen which are T5 Fluorescent.

Carrera! I think thats it. Thank you so much!
I agree with Haruki, they might be Nippo. Two other Mfg. to check would be Iguzzini and Nulux.
To narrow things down a bit, search for fixtures that use a t4 lamp. That should narrow the selection quickly.
When I zoom on it, they look like fluorescent $10 dlls Home Depot clearance to me.
Nothing special. (I could bet it's not LED/designer type fixture)
Bartco or XAL?
