by Shane Henson — November 23, 2011—Facilities managers desiring a quality LED (light-emitting diode) luminaire designed with energy reduction and sustainability in mind may find Columbia Lighting’s new “epoc” Full Distribution Luminaire of value.
According to the company, the epoc LED bridges the gap between energy savings and light quality by achieving high-efficacy illumination with environmentally conscious construction. epoc is carefully tuned using precise standards to maintain superior color consistency within each fixture, from fixture to fixture, and throughout its lifetime. The luminaires are passed through the company’s custom-designed test booth where each receives a unique QR code capturing its exact initial color, lumen rating, and module serial number. This stringent process assures the utmost quality and the most traceability available in LED lighting today, say Columbia Lighting designers.
Just as important, the epoc LED is constructed from 70 percent recycled steel and has a 50,000-hour, mercury-free lamp life. The luminaire is available in two lumen output configurations, providing a reduced energy consumption when higher light levels are not required.
epoc is easily serviced with a hinged optical system and plug-and-play LED modules that can be upgraded as improvements in solid-state technology evolve, notes the company. It is also compatible with a variety of controls, including occupancy sensors and dimmers designed to employ the latest in energy-saving practices.
