Enterprise Lighting Sales stopped by with Creative Systems Lighting to show some of their products. CSL is owned by the same family as USAI and is coming in as a lower level pricing option. They use CREE LED across the board on all of their products. Currently they offer their down lights in 2, 3, and 5 inch options. The 5 inch version is available with 0-10V dimming. Their standard color temperatures are 2800K, 3000K and 4000K. They offer both round and square trim options. Their products have a plug-and-play feature with the optics. All fixtures are supplied with 25°, 45° and 65° beam spread options that are field changeable. The 5 inch version is available in a 12° and 85° beam spread as well. Right now they offer their 3 inch as an adjustable option with an IC rated housing.
They are not offering the 2 inch with a smaller beam spread because they are not able to get the optics where they want them to be without significantly lowering the lumen package. However, in some cases for us, the tighter beam spread is more preferable to the higher lumen output.
Their lumen packages were comparable to others we have seen. The 2 inch is available with a 14 watt, 800 lumen and 80 CRI package with the option of 600 lumens and getting a 90CRI. The 3 inch version is available with a 16watt, 1100 lumen and 85 CRI package. And the 5 inch version is available with a 30 watt, 2200 lumen and 85 CRI package with the option of a 1900 lumen and 90 CRI package. All three fixtures seemed to provide a lot of light compared to their competitors. They are working on getting a 3000 lumen package available for the 5 inch within the year.
They offer a mud ring for all of their down lights. This is not a trimless design, but moves the flange flush to the ceiling. They are looking at doing a wall washer later on in the year.
They also showed us their low voltage linear LED fixture. This fixture is considered to be a T8 cove replacement. The standard options for this fixture are 2800K and 4000K. It can be dimmed through a magnetic low voltage dimmer. Each module has its own on-board driver which makes the fixture field adjustable by cutting it to length. The fixture is rated for damp locations.
Another linear led they showed us is their linear strip which is a line voltage product. The linear strip also comes in both 2800K and 4000K options and can be dimmed using an electronic low voltage dimmer. It comes in 10.5” and 21” lengths and is adjustable with a 120° total rotation. The fixture is rated for wet locations.
