Temp Pro Series by Barron Lighting GroupLife safety LEDs

The Tempo Pro series of life safety LEDs embodies the evolution of LEDs with smaller footprints and more performance. The high performance is evident with up to 40-ft-on-center spacing from just 2 W LEDs. The extremely compact size results in less cost to ship and less distributor shelf space. It’s also less obtrusive visually. The features and construction that come standard are the injection-molded UL94V-0 flame-rated housing; ultra-bright 6,000 K SMD LEDs; fully adjustable lamps for top, side, forward, or backlight distribution; toolless design for fast and easy installation; UL and cUL certified; suitable for damp locations; 120/277 Vac; and 60 Hz.

Orbeon by Beacon Products, Hubbell LightingParking garage luminaire

The Orbeon is an LED parking garage/canopy luminaire designed with an integrated mesh wireless control system and wireless occupancy sensors. Satellite fixtures can be grouped into master hi/low sensors to create lighting zones to meet California Title 24 and ASHRAE standards. Changes to dimming, time, and schedules can be sent to all fixtures wirelessly. The wireless Beaconnect technology is simple and is a fraction of the price of other controls systems. The wireless control system operates autonomously to increase control and cost savings while eliminating complicated gateways, Wi-Fi, GPS, and third-party providers with commissioning and recurring fees.

Juno IC 1400 Lumen Downlights by Juno Lighting Group1,400-lumen downlight series

The standard Juno IC 1400 Lumen Downlights produce brilliant illumination for high-ceiling applications, with performance equivalent to 120 W, PAR38, or BR40 incandescent luminaires from fewer than 21 input W, resulting in energy savings of more than 80%. These fixtures offer compatibility with existing Juno trims, including a hyperbolic trim that enables users to create a “silent ceiling” effect by reducing image and aperture brightness. The standard ceiling downlights are available in 5- and 6-in. new-construction housings and fit within 2×8 construction. The Juno Standard Slope and Super Slope LED Downlights deliver 1,400 lumens, making them better suited to the higher installation heights typically found with slope ceilings.

ISON LED High Bay by Orion Energy Systems Inc.LED high-bay luminaire

The ISON LED High Bay is available in up to 179 lumens per watt, delivering up to 80% energy reduction for most facilities with fixtures that offer less than 120 lumens per watt. Thermal management reduces the operating temperature of Orion high bays. Lower heat translates into the luminaire functioning more efficiently, extending its rated life. High-performing LED chips, efficient LED drivers, and other design features provide peak performance while the fixture design yields maximum light output and delivers more light for less energy. Because of the higher wattage savings, the ISON LED High Bay has greater potential for rebates determined by wattage reduction.
