HID lamps represent 2% of all installed lamps but 26% of national lighting energy consumption. Mogul-base LED replacement lamps are now being marketed as energy-saving equivalents. In response to a need to objectively evaluate available options, the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute began characterizing the market for and performance testing of mogul-base [...]
The APlus product line, which includes the APlus WhiteLight and the dim-to-warm APlus Sunset, provide LED combination downlight/wallwashers. The APlus product line is powered by Cree’s diffuse dome LED module (90+ CRI). Downlight reflectors provide a wide distribution with a 0.9 spacing ratio, a 40° shielding angle and low brightness at normal viewing angles. The [...]
Precision-Paragon [P2]’s QHC LED high-bay luminaire features TIR-based short wavelength light suppression optics, preventing emission of light waves below 500 nm. This allows installation in sensitive applications such as certain food processing plants, dairies and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, where goods are susceptible to photooxidation–degradation due to reaction to certain wavelengths of light. This degradation can [...]
Focal Point’s Dart is a direct/indirect linear suspended luminaire with a wall-mount companion. The luminaire uses LED lamping at up to 1,250 lumens/sq.ft. (106 lumens/W) based on five standard lumen output levels, with customizable levels available via factory-programmable drivers. Its Gradient Optic feature, a saw-tooth reflector that diffuses the edges of the indirect distribution, prevents [...]
Luxo’s Split doubles the light output of the typical task light for larger, more demanding applications. The aluminum luminaire features two 6W LED modules, each positioned at 30 degrees for wide light distribution of desktops, while the luminaire head itself remains parallel to the work surface. Dimmable, available with integrated PIR occupancy sensor. Click here [...]
A new, efficient light-harvesting system based on the principles of natural photosynthesis has been developed by researchers at Tokyo Tech. Scientists have long been trying to emulate the way in which plants harvest energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Plants are able to absorb photons from even weak sunlight using light antennae made from chlorophyll [...]
Eaton’s Cooper Lighting’s Portfolio Surface-Mount LED Luminaire, featuring the company’s patented WaveStream LED optical technology, provides high output and precise wide distribution with visual comfort. The Portfolio Surface-Mount LED Luminaire is available in five lumen packages ranging from 4,500 to 9,000 lumens, four correlated color temperatures including 2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K and in 80 [...]
Edison Price’s tunable LMT product line can be turned ON/OFF, dimmed to 5% and adjusted according to color temperature, hue and saturation–all by a wireless remote. Powered by Lumenentix Araya broad-spectrum LED modules, the LMT provides 90+ CRI white light with strong consistency, minimal aperture brightness and a precise reflector design. The LMT is available [...]
