by Shane Henson — May 7, 2012—Amerlux, a designer and manufacturer of energy-efficient lighting systems for supermarket, retail, commercial and architectural projects, recently debuted its high-performance, energy-saving Evoke 2.9 G2 LED Downlights. The company says these downlights, available in round and square profiles, are suitable for a wide variety of applications. Facilities managers searching for great lighting products that are also energy-efficient may find that these downlights meet their expectations. According to Amerlux, Evoke 2.9 G2 LED Downlights are offered for inclusion in sustainable strategies recognized by organizations such as the U.S Green Building Council.
The family offers warm 2700K, crisp 3000K, bright white 3500K, and cooler 4000K light-emitting diode (LED) sources that can be used in highly switched areas or applications requiring dimming capabilities. Consuming just 12 watts, Evoke LED is capable of producing more than 670 net lumens of uniformed light in 15- to 60-degree beam spreads, the company says. Also, the patented heat sink reduces fixture temperature for an unparalleled LED-rated lamp life of 50,000 hours at 70% initial output. Tightly binned LEDs reportedly ensure excellent fixture-to-fixture consistency and a superb color rendering index of 82 to 90.
To maximize their rated life, Evoke 2.9 G2 LED Downlights combine conduction, convection and radiation elements to divert damaging heat away from the LEDs with a multi-faceted thermal management system. A patented ceramic circuit board ensures that the LEDs are driven to their optimal performance while the highly engineered heat sink conducts heat away from the diodes above the ceiling line. This unique combination provides additional thermal protection, allowing for a tight cluster of high output LEDs to be used in this discreet aperture size. The result is a long-lasting fixture capable of significantly reducing operation costs by maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing maintenance, the company asserts.
Reflector trims are available with white-painted flange offered in a square style in Matte Black or Matte White finishes, or in a round style in Semi-Diffused Clear, Specular Black or Matte White finishes. Reflectors Trims are also available with a clear flange offered in a round style in Semi-Diffused Clear or Specular Black finishes. The Flush Trimless is offered in the square style in Matte Black or Matte White, while the round style is offered in Semi-Diffused Clear or Specular Black. Custom color options include more than 200 durable powder-coat painted finishes from the extensive Amerlux palette, to complement nearly any design scheme.
Evoke 2.9 G2 LED adjustable fixtures also feature a unique CAM adjustment mechanism that maximizes aiming flexibility while keeping the housing’s recessed depth to less than six inches for tighter plenums.
