November 2016 Product Briefs: LED Lighting Fixtures

With subtle effects and brilliant designs, LEDs continue to transform the lighting industry.

By Julie Taraska
November 2016 Product Briefs: Lighting

Plumen 003

The faceted gold element contained within Plumen’s latest lamp has two functions: it focuses a clean spotlight on the surface below and casts a warm accent light around its sides. The glass and anodized-aluminum bulb provides 250 lumens of illumination; its central structure rests on a specially engineered plinth that draws heat away from its 6W LED, keeping it cool.

LiniLED RGB

These specification grade color-changing LED light strips measure a discreet ½" wide x ¼" high; they have a bend radius of 1¼" and use less than 2W per foot. Dimmable, they suit applications indoors and out, including wet locations. They’re shipped in single-piece runs of up to 33' and can be field-cut every 8".

Truss

The ADA- and Title 24-compliant Truss comprises a steel back plate flanked by two opal glass tubes illuminated by LEDs with a 93 CRI. The luminaire may be mounted to a wall horizontally or vertically in any dry setting. Truss comes in a choice of two sizes, wattages, and finishes. Pictured is the 13" wide option with a 20W bulb and brushed nickel finish.

Lumenalpha Spot Large

Delivering up to 3,000 lumens, this adjustable spotlight offers better color stability and lower energy consumption than comparable metal halide models. Options include three beam angles and four color temperatures. The fixture also can be specified with Lumentalk, which allows for digital dimming of individual luminaires over existing track installations. Pictured with a honeycomb louver.

Durabulb

Designed for rugged settings such as factories and construction sites, this LED bulb has a polymer exoskeleton that protects it from impact, vibration, and external stresses. The 7.5W A19 lamp—equivalent to a 60W incandescent—is compatible with E26 bases; it offers omnidirectional light and comes in dimmable and nondimmable versions as well as 2700K and 5000K color temperatures.

Lightolier Calculite LED

The latest generation of Philips’s LED downlights features a frame independent from the rest of the luminaire. The driver and light engine snap into this kit and can be swapped out or upgraded without replacing the frame. A mounted spring secures the reflector to the luminaire, which comes in a range of trims, aperture sizes, and beam spreads.

Ruby MC

The surface-mounted Ruby floodlight contains six quad-chip LEDs that allow for color mixing of RGBW or dynamic white light. The fixture also offers a 0 to 100% dimming range as well as spot to wide-beam distributions. Its integral driver accepts an input of 120 to 277 volts at 50/60Hz.

RS Series 1000W MHO

The latest option for this plug-and-play LED replacement for 1,000W metal halide lamps delivers 52,000 lumens at 460W. The dimmable bulb offers a 5000K color temperature, 83 CRI, and 50,000-hour life. It also works with existing magnetic-­probe and pulse-start ballasts.

T-Light

This linear pendant features a ¾"-thick piece of etched white glass sandwiched between parallel L-shaped lengths of extruded aluminum. Illuminated by two 3000K LED strips—each of which can be dimmed separately—the luminaire provides warm up and downlight. T-Light is available in three lengths and nine standard powder-coat options, including Rusted Bronze, shown.

A series of dimmers, switches, and controllers paired with a wireless hub, Lutron’s scalable lighting system allows facility managers to monitor and adjust fixtures from any computer or smart device. Vive installs up to 70% faster than similar products and integrates via BACnet with other HVAC, IT, audio-video, and energy-management systems.
