Listed below are all the terms you’d ever need to know about iSky Panel Systems. If you still
have questions, just shoot us a note – our dictionary is always growing.
iSky Dictionary
Acoustic Panel: Panel that absorbs sound in order
to control and enhance acoustic quality in an
environment.
Banners: Wall configuration of Surface Mount panels
placed one on top of the other from floor to ceiling.
Beveled Edge: 45-degree edge on a wrapped fabric
panel, standard on all Surface Mount panels. Easier
panel alignment and a softer look than the square
edge option.
Coffered: Ceiling configuration of Surface Mount
panels in the traditional look of ceiling beams,
either inserted between the beams or on their own.
Additional uRay lighting can be added around all four
edges to create depth.
Diamond: Wall mounted configuration of Surface
Mount panels in which square panels are quarter
turned.
Drop-In: Ceiling panel, usually in 24” x 24”
dimension, that drops into a “T” bar ceiling grid.
Driver: Electrical device that transforms line voltage
to low voltage for powering L.E.D. lighting.
Embedded Driver: Driver that rests in a cut out area
in Surface Mount panels because line voltage is
already located in the ceiling and running new low
voltage wire is not an option (also see “Remote
Driver”)
Hanging Cloud: Ceiling configuration of Surface
Mount panels that are continuous but not wall-to-
wall, and hung on chains from above.
Jumper Cable: Low voltage wire that daisy chains
power from one panel to the next.
L.E.D : Light Emitting Diode that illuminates by
transforming electrons to photons (electricity to light)
for ultra-long life, thus more cost-effective than a
traditional filament lamp.
Leader Cable: Low voltage wiring that supplies
power from the Driver to the panels.
Mounting Anchor: Auger device used to fasten
acoustic panels to a surface.
Remote Driver: Driver located away from the ceiling,
remotely, in an equipment area, for example
Skylight: Ceiling configuration of panels using two
or more panel fields that mimic the look of skylight
windows
Star Engine: Low voltage, all digital light source that
produces realistic sparkling starlight.
Star Field: Ceiling configuration of panels laid out
continuously, but not wall to wall.
Star Window: Wall configuration of Surface Mount
panels mounted to mimic the look of open windows.
Surface Mount: iSky’s unique acoustical star panel
that mounts directly to a finished drywall ceiling or
wall.
uRay Lighting: 12v DC L.E.D. lineal lighting in “tape
strip form” for easy application of edge lighting
around iSky Surface Mount panels. Available in blue,
amber, and red colors.
Wall to Wall Star Field: Ceiling configuration of
panels laid out wall to wall continuously.

Of course, any of our panels can be cut to a specific size or configuration. And with
the option of adding uRay Strips to create a glow of light from the edges of iSky Surface
Mount panels, you can fit any room with a dramatic effect. Simply allow 2 inches or
more of exposed ceiling/wall for uRay Strips (*See Illustration on this worksheet)
No matter what configuration you design, each panel is made of high quality materials
that will absorb the sound and light refraction in any environment. iSky panels have
taken the hard work out of installation so that you can put your effort into fine-tuning
the look and sound of your room.
Now start gazing at the stars, and use the Design Worksheet to map out your design
