A Light is moving towards being a primarily LED company and has developed a new line of fixtures that are designed specifically with LEDs in mind. The New AccoLED line (ACL) is similar to the D series but with a smaller profile. It has a pendant mount, direct, indirect, direct/indirect, surface, recessed and regressed perimeter options. They are going to be coming out with an asymmetric version soon that has the reflector recessed in the fixture. A Light now offers their fixtures in either constant voltage or constant current boards. With constant voltage, you are able to cut the boards in the field in set increments, but dimming is not integral to the driver so it requires an additional dimming module. The constant current boards are only available in 6" increments from the factory and cannot be cut in the field. However, dimming is integral with 0-10V to 1%.
One important thing we found out is that they will default to constant voltage boards if lengths do not fit within the 6". It is something they are trying to address and make sure during submittals that the correct boards are chosen.
The Pendant K is now available in LED. It's a very bright fixture. Because of the way the fixture is built, it cannot have a lens on the top. We noticed a harsh line on the side and slight discoloration.
They have also developed a new co-extruded lens that has a white reflector integrated with the lens. This increases the efficiency by 20% and will be available for all of their fixtures soon. It also blended the light better to reduce the center brightness of the fixture from the LEDs.
Another new fixture we took a look at is their edgeless cove. It is only available in their integrations section. It offers inside corners as a standard option, but could potentially be provided with outside corners as well. They recommend 12" from the ceiling.
