Day-o-lite made a stop by our office to introduce their LED products to us. They are known for their quality fluorescent fixtures and have been taking the time over the past two years to integrate LED into the mix at the same standard as their fluorescent ones. Their factory is located in Rhode Island and they offer a 4-6 week lead time typically but can possibly do faster if they have the supplies on a project by project basis. All of their products are dimmable standard without an adder. They are also going to be offering the option for tunable LEDs to program the output with a resistor.
One fixture we took a look at was the Athena MLB which is a semi-recessed LED fixture with an extruded acrylic lens. The lens is clear on the sides and frosted on the edge when the fixture is illuminated. The LEDs are placed deep inside the fixture so you cannot see the nodes from any angle. They are working on developing a pendant version of the Athena as well.
We also took a look at their Equator fixture which is a surface round area light with a convex opal acrylic lens. It is also available in concave and flat versions as well. Because of the layout of the LEDs, they are able to get an evenly lit surface. With the flat lens, however, they have to reconfigure the LEDs with a tighter spacing otherwise you will notice dark spots.
Because of the size of their factory and production, they are able to do a lot of customizations to their fixtures all in house.
