by Rebecca Walker — August 13, 2010—Nexxus Lighting, Inc. announced it has begun production of its second generation of Array Lighting products.
In addition to its new Par 38, the Gen2 R30 and R16 are now available to order in an expanded color temperature offering (adding 2700° Kelvin) and improved color rendering indexes exceeding 80 CRI, according to the company. Both of the new Gen2 product lines are UL listed, can be ordered in either architectural white or custom black housings and will feature the new Lighting Facts label on the packaging. Lighting Facts is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to assure the consistency of information about, and therefore improve the quality of, LED lighting products.
Nexxus Lighting is an ENERGY STAR Partner and the 2700K and 3000K Gen2 line of R30 and R16 LED replacement lamps has been designed and tested to meet the new ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Integral LED lamps. Nexxus plans to submit these lamps to ENERGY STAR for review prior to the end of August 2010. The ENERGY STAR standard for Integral LED lamps is scheduled to become effective August 31, 2010.
Nexxus has also added a GU24 base to its R30 and Par38 offering. This enhancement is designed for retrofit applications where energy conservation measures and incentives are tied to eliminating the ability to screw in a less efficient medium base lamp in the future.
Nexxus Lighting is a leader in advanced lighting technology, including solid-state LED and fiber optic lighting systems and controls used in commercial, architectural, signage, swimming pool, entertainment and retail lighting. For more information, see the Nexxus Lighting Web site.
