GE Lighting has teamed up with USG Corporation to bring architects and designers a new monolithic, integrated ceiling and lighting system using cutting-edge products from two leading brands. USG’s Logix Ceiling System and GE’s Lumination LED Linear Recessed Luminaires are designed and tested together, making it simple to construct stylish new office, retail, hotel and [...]

Researchers at Wake Forest University have produced what they say is a new light bulb–shatterproof, flicker-free, highly efficient, long lasting, and with a color quality that matches daylight. The technology is field-induced polymer electroluminescent. This technology has been around a while but has never produced enough light to be competitive as a lamp. The researchers [...]

Sunoptics’ LightFlex system is a high performance prismatic daylighting solution for suspended-ceiling applications. The LightFlex toplighting system uses the Sunoptics Signature Series prismatic skylight, which allows the system to efficiently capture low-angle sunlight and optimize light distribution. A patent-pending optic sphere drives light down through the skylight’s light well, maximizing the system’s light penetration. The [...]

OSRAM is introducing a new OLED luminaire, called the Rollercoaster for its interesting architectural form, that utilizes transparent OLED panels (30 of them, 18-cm x 6.5 cm, operating at 20 lumens/W, with a transmission or transparency of 57%). The company is planning to begin mass producing these panels in 2014. The luminaire has the appearance [...]

The Illuminating Engineering Society’s magazine, LD+A, has published the 2012 Progress Report identifying products exemplifying real progress in terms of “uniqueness, innovation and significance to the lighting industry.” Check it out here.

The committee members involved in writing ANSI/IESNA RP-27.2-00, IEC/DIN/EN 62471 (CIE S 009) & DIN EN 14255-1 Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems-measurement techniques recognized that lamp manufacturers and distributors, safety engineers and industrial hygienists tasked with optical radiation health hazard assessment require a portable, accurate and cost effective means of metrology. Subsequently, the [...]

Columbia Lighting’s LLHP is a premium LED linear high bay fixture designed for durability, energy savings and performance and ideal for demanding environments such as sports complexes, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, commercial farm buildings and indoor recreational spaces. Providing up to 98 lumens per watt at 70 CRI, LLHP outperforms traditional HID lighting by reducing energy [...]

Lighting Services Inc recently introduced the LP3 Series, the first in a series of super high power, tight focused LED fixtures specifically designed for long throw, tight beam applications. The LP3 Series is the first fixture to accept Lumentalk Technology. Designed to take the place of aging low voltage sources, such as PAR56 or PAR64, [...]

The Lumination LED Suspended Luminaire from GE Lighting is an ultra-thin fixture providing suitable light output in a low-profile, provocative design. A clear, narrow band surrounds the edge of the fixture, making the light source appear to “float” in the center of the luminaire. When illuminated, it produces a perfectly even glow. While off, it [...]
