by Shane Henson — November 12, 2012—Amerlux, an international provider of energy-efficient lighting solutions, has added new products to its line of Hornet light-emitting diode (LED) track and multiple luminaires that it says deliver outstanding performance, reliability and guaranteed energy-efficiency and maintenance savings.
The company’s recently released Hornet High Power (HP) 21-watt LED Track Head was designed to be a high-performing alternative for designers and a replacement for a 20-watt ceramic metal halide fixture (CMH), the company says. The Hornet HP’s energy-efficient light source, which also powers the company’s 18-watt semi-recessed and recessed luminaires, reportedly provides better maintained and more secure lumens, as well as consistent color rendering.
Amerlux offers the Hornet HP LED track head in 21 watts and configured with a vertical or horizontal ballast housing. The Hornet HP LED track head delivers up to 1,131 lumens. To complement the track fixture, the 18-watt Hornet HP semi-recessed and the 18-watt recessed fixtures deliver up to 1,000 lumens, says Amerlux.
According to the company, the LED is also precision engineered for optimal thermal and optical performance, and harnesses and focuses LED lighting to provide clean, crisp beams of light, with consistent benchmark color and punch. Life at 70 percent of initial lumen output is rated at 50,000 hours, which is more than 10 to 15 times longer than halogen and more than three times the life of 20-watt a CMH fixture, says Amerlux.
