by Shane Henson — July 3, 2013—Amerlux, a provider of energy-efficient lighting solutions, recently introduced the Quintetta, a linear light-emitting diode (LED) pendant developed for commercial and hospitality markets. Designed with a clean, elegant aesthetic, Quintetta features an extruded proprietary lens with five glowing sides—avoiding socket shadows and dark ends, says the company.
“Clean, aesthetically balanced with a chiseled look, Quintetta is our signature five-sided linear LED pendant that sets the mood for hotel and corporate lobbies, reception areas and conference rooms,” said Amerlux CEO/president Chuck Campagna. “These unique fixtures illuminate at the ends while the sides glow softly with crisp white color and are powered with ultra-thin low-voltage suspension cable.”
Quintetta uses just five watts per foot of balanced light distribution while delivering up to 188 lumens per foot. The fixture is constructed with an extruded aluminum housing and high-grade optics. The extruded individual white acrylic lens extends beyond the housing, concealing the LEDs. The 24-volt fixture is powered through low-voltage suspension aircraft cable that is 1/16-inch in diameter. Quintetta hangs without any visible hardware, leaving a beautiful architectural impression, adds the company.
Available in six lengths ranging from 3 to 8 feet and four color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K CCTs), the Quintetta offers a 4-foot model that uses 20 watts while the 8-foot unit operates on 40 watts. Quintetta also offers outstanding color rendering, standard 0-10v dimming, 50,000 hours of life, and an industry-leading 10-year limited warranty, says Amerlux.
Mounted from a 1/16″ (DIA) aircraft cable with a white canopy, Quintetta is powered through the aircraft cable with an electronic ballast that operates on a 120-277 volt system. Standard paint finishes include white, black and silver, as well as custom color options—complementing nearly any and all design schemes.
