New Architectural Lighting Products for Summer 2019
Whiz 2.0
Meteor Lighting took seven years to improve its popular Whiz high bay. The new IP65-rated LED version, winner of a Lightfair International Innovation Award, is sleeker, more compact and efficient, and has better thermal management. In black or white, and with options in color temperature, lumen output, and dimming, Whiz 2.0 suits ceilings that measure 30' or higher, and can be configured for direct or indirect lighting.
Cylinder One HO
Ideal for large projects such as airports, convention centers, theaters, and civic buildings, this attractive high-output downlight by Acclaim Lighting delivers up to 12,000 lumens and 99,000 candelas in spaces with ceilings 20' and higher. Featuring an internal 100-277 VAC power supply and onboard DMX+RDM driver, the IP40-rated unit can be dimmed down to 0 wirelessly.
Lutron HXL
A leading innovator in control technology, window shades, and (following its acquisition of Ketra) high-quality luminaires, Lutron has developed a holistic approach to human-centric lighting. Its new HXL offering will provide specifiers with the tools needed to create adaptive and personalized environments for clients. Users will be able to balance and easily control daylight throughout a project and harness the ability of tunable-white LEDs to emulate the sun’s cycle, said to help maintain occupant circadian rhythms.
2" Volta LED Recessed Downlight
Engineered with a diminutive 2" aperture but equipped for maximum output, performance, and serviceability, WAC's compact luminaire comes in six architectural- grade finishes with four beam angles, and a choice of trims and lumen output. Features include glare control for visual comfort and field-interchangeable optics.
ColorID Content Library and Wall Controller
USAI Lighting will empower end users this fall when they launch their easy-to-use system of curated lighting scenes and a circadian program. Compatible with the company's Color Select Tunable White and Infinite Color+ fixtures, the library’s vibrant glass wall controller provides one-touch access to set the mood and can be color-matched to a room’s interior.
WGD9 Wall Grazer
Tucked up into a ceiling’s edge, the 3"-deep A-Light wall grazer emits a precise 7° light beam that accentuates a wall’s pattern and texture without shadows or hotspots. Sold in 1'-long increments (with 90° nonilluminated transitions available through the company’s Design Assist team), the WGD9 comes in 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K color temperatures at 90 CRI, with 0–10V dimming down to 1% and optional occupancy, photocell, and daylight sensors.
Lumination Architectural Linear Series
Dubbed LAL Series by manufacturer Current, powered by GE, this minimalist linear platform was engineered for efficiency, performance, and design flexibility as well as ease of installation and use. Available in 2" and 4" widths and 2', 4', 5', 6', and 8' lengths for recessed or suspended applications, in black, white, or silver, the luminaires can link together for continuous runs, with an uplight option. Separate drivers in the pendants allow independent control of direct and indirect light.
Aerial
Known for the high quality of its LED light sources, Soraa extends its product offering to include luminaires. This new group of cylindrical downlights provides compelling housing for the company's advanced optics, with features such as an easily removable light module and integrated toolless onboard dimming. Black, bronze, white, and custom finishes and cord colors are available.
Lore
Awarded Most Innovative Product of the Year at Lightfair, Lore, a full-array downlight family by Ecosense, breaks ground with an autosensing technology that “intuitively” connects with multiple protocols for 0.1% dimming, 120– 277 universal input voltage, and Lingo, a proprietary bidirectional language that enables components to talk to one another. Available in 3"- and 4½"-aperture sizes, this plug-and-play system has a range of recessed housings and trims, as well as wall, ceiling, and pendant cylinders.
Slots and Dots
This 1"-wide track system by Amerlux is outfitted with magnetic attachments so its light sources can be easily snapped in and out as needed. Extremely versatile, Slots and Dots can be configured by simply inserting the light sources into its channel. These include accent track head, pendant, and linear units, with high-performance optics or lenses. Available in 2', 4', and 12' lengths, the track can be linked to flow seamlessly across a ceiling or wall.
These sleek specification-grade fixtures and systems will optimize a range of projects and programs. Click through the slideshow above to read more.
