Visa Lighting stopped by today to show us some new fixtures and to get some feed back on new products in development. The Escape is an LED wall sconce already available which requires a remote driver, but they are developing a new version that is line voltage. The fixture can be oriented as an uplight or downlight. It is indoor damp rated, and a wet location exterior version will also be available. The Escape has a plate at the bottom of the fixture as a junction box cover but it is not required. Standard color temperatures are 3K, 35K and 4K. For larger quantities than 20 they can do custom color temperatures such as 27K. The fixture is non-dim and available in two sizes; 14" at 900 lumens and 26" at 1800 lumens. It is ADA compliant. You can also specify the lens to be high impact vandal resistant.
We also got to take a look at the revamp of the Ether. Traditionally the Ether is a fluorescent fixture but has been reworked to incorporate LED. It is available with either a symmetric or asymmetric distribution for wall wash applications. It is dimmable standard with 0-10V dimming. The Ether also has an interior damp rating.
The Meridian is a new pendant that has just been released. It is a direct/indirect circular pendant with fully diffuse acrylic lenses. The driver is remote in the canopy so you do not see any dark spots and get a complete glowing fixture. The Meridian provides 11,400 lumens and is available in standard 3K, 35K or 4K. They are also developing a version that can be mounted to the wall vertically.
