The suite was illuminated with a variety of ambient, accent, task and decorative lighting installations. SYLVANIA LED experts were on hand to demonstrate each installation and highlight its functionality. SYVLANIA’s partnership with Traxon Technologies and its LED design showcase are the latest steps the company has taken to advance awareness and adoption of energy-efficient LED technology. Sixty percent of the company’s present sales are energy-efficient products, and this number is expected to reach 80 percent by 2012.

Products to be featured under the Traxon LED Systems from Sylvania include the PXL Mirror Wash RGB, which functions as a regular mirror when turned off and acts as a spectacular lighting fixture when switched on. In addition, the Light-DriveTM Jog RGB is a DMX based plug ‘n’ play standalone controller for RGB LED fixtures. The wall-mount device provides direct access to the connected fixtures to tune the color and brightness of the LED fixtures to suit the mood and function.Beyond energy efficiency, the flexibility, customization and power of LED lighting make it an ideal solution for today’s designers and architects.
