Lambda Research demonstrates TracePro illumination design software at LightFair
At LFI, the company will be offering live demonstrations of TracePro. Illumination and luminaire design engineers attending the show are encouraged to bring their latest projects and experience a real-time demo using their designs.
Controls/power and networks
The latest demonstration of the EMerge Alliance Occupied Space Standard, which facilitates low-voltage DC lighting, will be on display at booth #5549 during the expo. It represents the industry’s only modular, plug-and-play lighting system that enables renewable energy and distributed generation to create an energy network designed to help achieve zero net energy use in buildings and campuses.
The next generation of GE’s LED lighting fixtures will be enabled with indoor location technology. GE is collaborating with ByteLight to demonstrate this innovative technology at the show.
Lighting products
Acuity Brands' Marker Light for healthcare facilities uses amber OLED technology
Acuity Brands introduces the OLED Marker Light Series concept luminaires. On display at LFI -- Acuity Brands Booth #3808 -- these OLED luminaires can create a directional beacon in high traffic healthcare areas, add visual appeal, provide subtle orientation along a path, and provide low-level illumination in critical care areas, benefiting patients and caregivers.
LED Roadway Lighting exhibits NXT LED luminaires and smart street lighting at LightFair
LRL’s booth will feature the NXT series luminaires (NXT-S and NXT-M). Earlier this year, LRL announced that the NXT-S luminaire had been selected as Best in Class (Local Residential Roadway) in the 2013 Next Generation Luminaires (NGL) Outdoor Lighting Competition.
Lighting Science to highlight human-centric lighting at LightFair
Adding to the expertise in the Lighting Science booth, NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, commander of the International Space Station Expedition 14, will be present to discuss the impact of artificial light on space missions and the value of biologically-corrected lighting to regulate sleep and increase performance.
Soraa releases SNAP System of LED lamp accessories for PAR and AR111 lamps at LightFair
Soraa will launch and display large lamp versions of its innovative SNAP System along with new accessories at LFI. With the addition of PAR30, PAR38 and AR111 LED lamps to the SNAP System line, customers now have a choice of lamps as well as accessories to tailor light in restaurant, retail, hospitality, museum, and residential applications.
AFX 12W ORA LED pendant with 3000K CCT on display at LightFair
The new ORA LED fixture features a 12-in. circular powder coated ring pendant with a matching powder coated ceiling canopy. With an integrated LED engine, the ORA pendant uses 12W of energy to deliver 900 lm with a 3000K CCT.
HessAmerica features LED wall luminaires and bollard lights at LightFair
AVANGARDO 2 luminaires accent interiors and outdoor areas with simple architectural styling and crisp LED illumination. Suitable applications include buildings, exterior pathways, and outdoor patios found on corporate campuses, universities, malls, and venues for retail, hospitality, and entertainment.
Aeon Lighting will feature ATLED Uniqube square downlight at LightFair
Combining ALT’s patented heat dissipation technique and power driver skills, the 6-in. model achieves up to 6000 lm with 91 lm/w. Color temperature ranges from golden-toned 2200K to bright true white at 10,000K.
Solatube International to preview SkyVault Collector tubular daylighting device at LightFair
The Solatube SkyVault Collector captures significantly more daylight than traditional skylights without heating the building interior. It maximizes daylight delivery by capturing and redirecting low-angle light downward into the system and minimizes solar heat gain by preventing heat-carrying infrared rays from entering the system.
