by Shane Henson — June 8, 2012—USAI Lighting, a manufacturer of point source light fixtures for commercial and residential projects, recently released its BeveLED 2.0 Recessed Downlight, a light source the company says achieves more than 2,000 delivered lumens from 33 watts and ideal color consistency to break through the design boundaries of traditional sources.
Recognizing the industry-wide need for a light-emitting diode (LED) game-changer, USAI Lighting says it created BeveLED 2.0 with a full breadth of options to seamlessly convey the story of a space from a single source. Providing 16-, 24- and 33-watt selections with unprecedented delivered lumens, with optics ranging from 10 to 80 degrees and the ability to mix trim or trimless options without compromising the overall design unity of a space, BeveLED 2.0 offers true design flexibility.
As smart as it is stylish, BeveLED 2.0 also features the following benefits to enhance the overall quality of the lighted environment:
- Unparalleled efficacy, providing up to 2,100 delivered lumens, more than 60 lumens per watt and 10-degree optic with a center beam candlepower of 29,000;
- Multiple color rendering index options (CRI), including 80+ and 90+ high-CRI, allowing the solution to replicate the functionality and performance of traditional light sources such as 42-watt fluorescents all while using significantly less energy;
- Fixture-to-fixture color consistency through advanced optical design and ideal 2-step MacAdam Ellipse, achieving +/- 50 K;
- Advanced optical control through use of discrete LED technology, providing designers beam spreads from 10 to 80 degrees without compromising delivered lumens, efficiency, color, aperture size or illumination;
- Universal housing that affords one-step transitions between downlight, adjustable and wall-wash functions even after installation for ultimate flexibility;
- Effortless serviceability through an industry-first tool-less light engine, enabling easy field replacement of the light engine without compromising valuable time; and
- Maximum LED lifespan (a minimum of 50,000 hours) through the use of a proprietary high-performance aluminum heatsink.
- Multiple color rendering index options (CRI), including 80+ and 90+ high-CRI, allowing the solution to replicate the functionality and performance of traditional light sources such as 42-watt fluorescents all while using significantly less energy;
