by Shane Henson — November 26, 2012—Precision-Paragon [P2], a manufacturer of energy-efficient lighting for commercial and industrial buildings, has released a new high-bay lighting fixture called QHC.
According to [P2], the fixture uses the latest light-emitting diode (LED) technology to provide 12,483 lumens using just 135 watts, less than 30 percent of the electricity required for an equivalent traditional metal halide fixture. The optimally designed, two-piece cast aluminum housing is smaller, lighter and more compact for easier installation and serviceability.
“In developing the QHC, we focused on insuring field serviceability of the driver and light engines to make it easier for the end user and our customers alike in the event maintenance should be needed,” said Joe Martin, [P2] vice president and general manager.
The QHC is designed to maximize performance and reduce wattage in unconditioned areas where heat can be an issue. An integrated, vertical, heat-sink structure with flow-through cooling reduces LED junction temperatures for enhanced reliability. Low wattage combined with intelligent, integrated controls featuring instant re-strike and occupancy sensors can drastically reduce energy usage creating significant cost savings for end-users, the company says.
The QHC also features configurable light distribution to accommodate a variety of industrial and commercial lighting applications, adds [P2]. QHC optics ensure an even distribution of light with a low max/min ratio to meet IESNA light level standards. Fixtures for wet and dry applications are available.
