The accepted products include:
- The IRiS P3LED Directional Series is the first luminaire in the
world to be Zhaga-certified. The 3-inch aperture, LED recessed
series combines the flexibility of interchangeable optics with the
energy savings, long life and sustainability of LED.
- Portfolio's 4-inch LED high output square downlight series
provides up to 1800 lumens, comparable to two 26-watt compact
fluorescent lamps, while consuming only 36 watts. The series
features a diffused optical system that provides superior light
control and low aperture brightness while delivering 50+ lumens per
watt. A tool-less, flexible disconnect permits easy replacement of
the LED engine from above or below the fixture.
- The Lumiere Eon Bollard is available in single- or dual-head
versions with efficacies up to 78 lumens per watt. The LED optical
performance from the patented AccuLED Optics™ results in spacings
up to 24 feet apart in some configurations, while still maintaining
a continuous minimum 0.5 footcandle light level when mounted at
36-inches using the Type II optics.
- Lumiere's Eon Pathway Luminaire offers downlight illumination
from a fixed head and uses the same low-profile AccuLED optics. A
16-foot spacing maintains 0.5 footcandles at a 24-inch height, and
13-foot spacings maintain 2.0 footcandles with an 8.8-watt power
consumption per fixture.
- Lumiere's Eon Wall Mount Luminaires offer wattages of 8.8 and
17.6 watts and efficacies as high as 82 lumens per watt. These
dimmable, low-profile luminaires are available with the AccuLED
Optics™ system generating lateral throw, forward throw, or flood
optics.
- The RSA AX Series LED downlight is the first reported Zhaga
compliant accent luminaire that can be used in international
applications. Installed from below, it is intended for applications
not requiring an enclosed housing and is IP54 rated. It offers
aiming angles up to 30 degrees and is available with
interchangeable optics providing customers a choice of a 10, 15, 25
or 40 degree beam spread.
- The RSA COMBO LED Wall Wash Luminaire offers an efficacy of 63
lumens per watt with a 38-watt input power. Designed for high
ceiling applications, it is available in three beam widths plus an
asymmetric distribution, two color temperatures, and is dimmable.
The rectangular LED head has lockable aiming from 0 to 60
degrees.
- The Halo ML56 Recessed Downlighting System offers a
comprehensive modular system of dimmable LED light modules and
interchangeable 5- and 6-inch trims, which include reflectors,
baffles, eyeballs, and Halo-exclusive wall-wash trims. The LED
source options yield a 600 or 900 lumen output at 80 or 90 CRI and
a choice of four color temperatures.
- The Metalux Accord LED luminaire is available in four lumen
packages, three color temperatures, and offers three diffuser
options. The architectural luminaire family has the highest
reported efficacy ranging from 86 to 103 lumens per watt.
- Metalux's ArcLine LED luminaire is a shallow plenum line of 1'
x 1', 2' x 2', 2' x 4', and 1' x 4' architectural recessed
luminaires with a depth of only 3.25 inches. The line provides
seven lumen light levels, three color temperatures, and an efficacy
up to 103 lumens per watt, depending on fixture and lumen
packages.
- The Halo Commercial product line is the first reported product
to receive commercial qualification under the new ENERGY
STAR® specification. The family features some of the
highest optical efficiencies in commercial recessed
downlighting.
- The Fail-Safe HVL LED architectural vandal resistant luminaire
is offered with a wide variety of options. The family is available
in 8- and 12-inch widths, and lengths from one to eight feet.
Several wattage and lumen packages are available in combination
with five color temperatures between 2700K and 5000K. An
integral occupancy sensor and emergency battery pack are also
available.
- The Fail-Safe UCL LED undercabinet luminaire offers a
comprehensive package of features. Available in one- to four-foot
lengths with two output levels per length, the UCL is available in
four color temperatures between 3000K and 5000K. Aluminum or
stainless steel construction is offered, with a choice of Pattern
12 acrylic or polycarbonate or linear ribbed acrylic shielding.
Antimicrobial finish and integral sensors for automatic control are
also available.
- The Sure-Lites PathLinx emergency lighting system powers remote
LED path of egress units through normal Class 2 wiring, or through
Ethernet cable using on-board RJ-45 jacks, eliminating costly
junction boxes and conduit. The low-power, asymmetrical AccuLED
Optics™ system produces beams that allow up to 29-foot spacings of
the units.
The Progress Report submittals, which include new products,
research, publications and design tools, are reviewed by the IES
Progress Committee. The committee consists of industry experts from
all different aspects of the lighting industry with the mission of
keeping in touch with developments in the art and science of
lighting throughout the world. The committee prepares a yearly
review of achievements for the Society. Each submittal goes through
a judging process and is evaluated for its uniqueness,
innovativeness, and significance to the lighting industry. Judging
is not based on aesthetics, but focuses on and honors technical
advancements.
The accepted products were presented at the IES Annual
Conference in Minneapolis, Minn.,
which took place November 11-13. The
2012 IES Progress Report will be featured in the January 2013 issue of the Society's monthly
magazine, Lighting Design + Application (LD+A). The
Report will also be posted on the IES website and presented by IES
Sections throughout the year at section meetings.
