by Ann Withanee — December 13, 2010—Acuity Brands, a market leader in innovative energy efficient lighting and control solutions, has again strengthened its portfolio of LED ambient lighting fixtures with the introduction of the Lithonia Lighting RTLED 2’x4′ and 1’x4′ luminaire models.
The RTLED family of volumetric recessed luminaires, which are factory-enabled with Acuity Brands’ nLight intelligent controls interface, deliver high-quality ambient white light for general illumination applications throughout an entire space while reducing energy consumption, maintenance costs and a building’s environmental footprint.
Powered by an advanced LED light engine, the RTLED luminaire delivers a superior lighting environment that includes high color rendering (80+ CRI), 3500K color temperature, and full range dimming through the nLight 0-10V DC embedded control device. The RTLED also reduces maintenance costs by delivering up to 50,000 hours of light, reducing downtime and increasing overall productivity by not having to replace lamps or ballasts. With built-in nLight controls, the RTLED can be configured to perform intelligent tasksincluding dimming themselves by Lumen Maintenance, a means of eliminating the waste associated with over-lighting early in its life cycle. This maximizes luminaire life while minimizing energy consumption.

Additionally, the RTLED luminaires feature a small, compact design (only 3-1/8″ deep) and allow building owners to meet “green” and sustainability goals in numerous ways. The products contain no mercury or lead and are made with recycled steel and other components and materials, which minimize waste in the manufacturing and distribution process.
The RTLED 2’x2′, 1’x4′ and 2’x4′ luminaires are available nationally through Acuity Brands’ Lithonia Lighting sales representatives and authorized distributors.
