Bridgelux expands portfolio to address retail & hospitality
sector The firm’s Decor LED array series now offers increased efficiency as well as a broader range of light sources - from 500 to 5000 lumens in colour temperatures of 2700, 3000 and 3500K Bridgelux has announced the expansion of its Decor line of ultra-high colour rendering index (CRI) LED arrays.
He continues, “Fixtures with the Decor option range from 1,936 to 3,304 lumens while also providing unmatched colour. This has allowed BAERO to capture a greater share of applications in supermarket lighting, converting them from conventional lighting technologies to energy efficient solid state lighting. The quality and performance is excellent as is the support we have received from Bridgelux as we developed the ARONDO LED.”
The Decor arrays feature the same form factors as current Bridgelux array products, allowing a simple upgrade path for existing customers while minimising design efforts. Bridgelux showcased its latest products at stand J31 in Hall 4.2 at Light+Building in Frankfurt, Germany, taking place between April 15th and 20th, 2012.
Cree’s new LED troffers aim Bridgelux Array Product Family
Addressing growing demand in the shop and retail, architectural, hospitality and museum lighting markets for the energy efficiency and high quality light offered by LED technology, Bridgelux has expanded its successful Decor 97 CRI product series introduced in October 2011.
The Decor series now offers increased efficiency as well as a broader range of light sources - from 500 to 5000 operational lumens in three colour temperatures, 2700, 3000 and 3500K. The firm hopes to satisfy the increasing number of applications demanding very high light quality.
Bridgelux says its Decor series expands lighting options available to the lighting designer, complimenting the standard minimum 80 and minimum 90 CRI products also available from the company.
With a CRI of 97 and a 3-step MacAdam Ellipse colour control option, the Decor arrays are claimed to enable lighting designers to accurately render a full palette of colours over a wide range of light levels to create stunning and sophisticated lighting effects.
The Decor series has been spectrally engineered to virtually replicate the light quality of halogen and incandescent light sources. These arrays deliver R9 and R15 values of 98, to both enhance reds and more accurately represent many skin tones, delivering clean and natural lighting.
“Bridgelux’s introduction of the higher lumen output Decor arrays will allow us to significantly expand our ARONDO LED luminaire line,” comments David Rice, vice president BAERO North America. “Designed specifically for supermarket lighting, BAERO’s ARONDO LED fixtures currently offer 10 different light engine options with 3 of those options utilizing the high 97 CRI Decor arrays for premium presentation.”
to eliminate fluorescents New additions to Cree’s CR troffer series include surface- mount, in-ceiling retrofits and suspended light engine luminaires. The company says they are faster and more affordable than ever Cree is expanding its CR troffer family to address more applications.
The firm says its new products are capable of replacing antiquated fluorescent technology in new or retrofit commercial and industrial settings.
The firm has also changed its pricing to drive even faster payback for building contractors, designers and owners.
Cree says its CR series offers payback-friendly pricing and a no-compromise alternative to fluorescent lighting; its LED equivalents consume nearly 50 percent less energy than a comparable linear fluorescent and deliver more than twice the lifetime.
With an estimated payback of less than a year in a typical new office installation, Cree says its troffers provide superior performance and greater energy savings over fluorescent options.
The new troffers now address three times the number of applications, including surface-mount, in-ceiling retrofits and suspended light engine luminaires.
