Unit Number Sconce G9
Dunton House
The KAI Unit Number Sconce is a two-part identification fixture from Dunton House Decorative Lighting, combining a compact cylindrical accent light with a slender steel numeral panel mounted directly below it. Rather than backlighting the numerals internally, KAI illuminates them from above, casting a soft, directional wash down the face of the panel — a look that reads more architectural than a conventional lit sign.
Because KAI is lamp-based, the character of its light is fully in the specifier's hands. It is compatible with dimmable lamps and dimmable controls, allowing the intensity of the number panel's illumination to be tuned to the surrounding corridor, entry, or lobby lighting design rather than fixed at the factory.
Construction is straightforward and durable: a steel housing supports the accent light and numeral panel, while the numerals themselves are cut from 10mm acrylic for crisp, clean edges. The fixture mounts flush to the wall in a slim profile that reads as an architectural detail rather than a bolted-on accessory.
Fixture finish and font finish are specified independently, giving KAI the flexibility to sit quietly against a matching wall finish or stand out in contrast against it. An optional integrated braille plate can be added at the base of the numeral panel, either matched to the fixture finish or specified as a custom configuration.
Backed by a 5-year warranty and UL certification, KAI is built as a lasting wayfinding fixture for multifamily, hospitality, and mixed-use properties seeking a more distinctive alternative to standard illuminated unit numbers.

Resources
KAI's housing and numeral panel are constructed of steel, with numerals cut from 10mm acrylic for a clean, precise profile. The fixture surface-mounts to the wall, holding an overall footprint of 2.5"W x 20"H x 4"D that keeps the cylindrical accent light and numeral panel aligned as a single vertical composition.
Fixture finish and font finish are specified independently: the housing and accent light are available in a standard black finish or a custom finish specified by RAL number or sample, while the numerals are available in a standard silver finish or a matching custom option. An optional braille plate integrates at the base of the numeral panel, specified either to match the fixture finish or as its own custom configuration.
The KAI Unit Number Sconce operates on 120V and accommodates a single G9 lamp (not included), rated for up to 50 watts per socket. It is compatible with dimmable lamps and dimmable controls for full ambiance control, though the lamp and control must be specified and supplied separately.Â
Understanding the lamp-based accent light: Unlike backlit unit number fixtures, KAI illuminates its numerals from a separate G9 accent light mounted above the panel. This design gives specifiers control over the lamp's color temperature, dimming behavior, and beam character, since the accent source is chosen independently rather than fixed as part of the fixture. It also means the numeral panel reads more like a lit architectural element than a conventional illuminated sign.
Dimming compatibility: KAI is compatible with dimmable lamps paired with a dimmable control, giving full flexibility over how brightly the numerals are washed with light. Confirm lamp and dimmer compatibility with your electrician prior to installation, as both components are specified and supplied separately from the fixture.
Choosing a braille plate configuration: KAI offers three braille plate options: no plate, an integrated plate matched to the fixture finish, or a custom configuration finished independently. Properties with a uniform finish palette typically match the braille plate to the fixture finish, while a custom configuration allows the plate to align with a distinct wall or hardware finish.
Finish selection: Because fixture finish and font finish are specified independently, KAI supports both high-contrast and tone-on-tone configurations. A black housing with silver numerals creates strong legibility and presence in low-light corridors, while matching custom finishes across the housing and numerals produce a quieter, more integrated look for premium or design-forward properties.
Ordering logic: Use the format KAI-[Source]-[Fixture Finish]-[Font Finish]-[Braille]. For example, KAI-G9-BK-SL-BP specifies the fixture with a G9 socket, a black housing, silver numerals, and a braille plate matched to the fixture finish. Custom source, fixture, and font finish configurations are specified at time of order and are subject to SAGE Brands approval, as customization may affect final specifications, dimensions, and lead time.
