by Brianna Crandall — December 14, 2015—Amerlux, provider of architectural-grade lighting solutions that deliver unique visual experiences, has just unveiled the newly redesigned Acion, a refreshed exterior accent that is suitable for lighting landscapes, including small signs and architectural features. Using the latest in light-emitting diode (LED) technology, Amerlux can now deliver the right amount of light in lower wattages to eliminate wasted lumens and energy.
Acion is designed to make select targets shine with pinpoint precision and output. The accent luminaire employs solid-state technology and precision engineering to provide small-scale LED solutions in landscape and architecture layouts.
Acion is offered in a choice of beam spreads, finishes, and color temperatures. All components are encapsulated inside a single attractive enclosure designed for superior performance in weather-resistant applications. Three styles include a small accent light, large accent light, and wall-mounted fixture.
Offered in 10 and 17 wattages, Acion luminaires deliver up to 1,500 lumens and operate on universal 120-277 volt systems with auto sensing. With beam spreads ranging from 10 to 60 degrees and a secondary shaping lens, the luminaires are available in four color temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K.
The fixtures are IP67-rated and sealed optically with a two-screw integral driver, which provides easy access without disturbing the optical chamber seal. A flush lens prevents water deposits in upward facing applications, and the fixture design allows a ½-inch National Pipe Straight Mechanical (NPSM) wire entry. The fixtures feature vertical aiming, tamper-resistant tooled locking after final aiming.
Acion dims with an electronic low-voltage dimmer (ELV) on 120-volt systems. Small and large LED accents are offered with yoke and knuckle-mount options. A wall-mount version is also offered.
Premium quality powdercoat and hard-anodized finishes are available, including Satin Black, Classic Bronze, Green, Textured Black, White and Custom.
Glare shield options are available for installation in the field, and ground stakes are offered for small and large accent lights.
