LUCIFER LIGHTING

Today we looked at the LUCIFER LIGHTING updated track lights, eco line downlights, and new anodized finishes (beautiful!).

ATOMOS:

  • a very affordable downlight. Good lead time of 1 to 3 weeks

  • A huge plus is that they have trimless millwork at an affordable price point (haven't seen many competitors offering this option). Round and square trim, available as new construction and remodel housing.

  • The adjustable model has a max 30-degree tilt.

  • The wall washer has a small kicker to push the light out of the ceiling.

  • Note: For the wall washer, the square trim has a better performance and higher output compared to the round trim. 1000lm vs. 920lm for the round trim. The round has a 1:1 ratio, but the square allows further spacing. For the round trim, we noticed a round spread on the side so be careful with spacing.

We also looked at a new zoom fixture, rotating the optics to adjust the spread. It only moves from 20 to 40 degrees, and had a large field angle, so it may not be a good option for art lighting.

TRACK HEADS:

  • New Alumina finishes with four (4) matt and four (4) brushed options (a new anodizing process). They looked gorgeous!

  • Warm dim is available in different outputs in the remote driver model. It's also available in medium size with an integral driver, BUT there is a wattage restriction. It's a YES, but $$$

  • Integral ELV driver down to 5% to 2%. There is a restriction with output. Max 1300lm delivered 900 for medium size.

  • The remote driver version goes up to 2300lm.

  • The nice thing is that their 120V medium track head seats flush to the track with an integral driver.

  • Monopoint has a mud-in ring for flush mounting the slim canopy.

  • The standard stem length is 1.4", but it can be ordered up to 12". They are moving toward making their new track stem (on the center) the standard. Updating T2 to this.

  • Large-size wallwasher track offers typical 3ft spacing for a 15ft ceiling. They have a little light leak on the ceiling.

  • Their tack and monopoint accept 2 accessories. They can provide a cross baffle, depending on the project size! Ask

  • They are looking out to expand their track system toward two circuits, pendant mount, surface, and recessed!

ORA Local & Lit Show 2022

We stopped by the O’blaney Rinker Local & Lit showcase to check out some of their new and updated products and brands:

Convey Lighting (NEW!)

  • All LED is 90+ CRI Standard - most ranging from 95 - 98 (!) with high R9 values.

  • A variety of channels are offered. We noticed some unique extrusion forms. Not all are shown on the website, but that’s currently being updated. Also reach out for anything custom or unique because they may be able to find a solution. BE-2-8-KF: a great Knife edge channel.

  • Priced competitively, approx. $35 DN price for their TYP. LED tape + extrusion.

  • A optional potentiometer is available on their standard Universal Driver.

  • Looking particularly good was the FLEX family is twistable on a dual axis. Two output options: 3W & 6W, available as static, tunable, RGB, & RGBW. The 22K version produced a very beautiful hospitality color - and this warm CCT is not available from all competitors in this form factory due to color shift.

NY Ceiling

  • They are using their own stretch fabric and lighting extrusion.

  • A very fine thin metal edge on the perimeter. Easy installation and access. They do the installation (heat install) and provide maintenance as required.

  • Their Cloud and canopy ceiling is their affordable and configurable solution.

  • They are working on a new stretch ceiling & wall system, Modern. Great for covering existing ceilings and new construction. Easy installation, no visible trim around the edges.

Lumos Control

  • Integrated all-in-one smart wireless control solution. Dali mesh system. They offer a Trailing edge dimmer, Dali controller, two and single-channel DC & AC 0-10V, many sensor options, 4 & 5 buttons wireless switch, a switch interface for push button, and motion sensor wall station.

  • It's a simplified system with manual control and wireless dimming.

Lumenture Lighting

  • Quick shipping on most of their products, 3 to 5 business days from CT.

  • The 120V track head has infinite rotation. Small & large heads deliver 1100lm and 2000lm respectively.

  • We like their single canopy spot with easy installation junction box

  • Their Double side wall washer is a good resource to remember. Unfortunately not available as trimless.

Airey Thompson

Today we had Airey Thompson visit our office. Airey Thompson is a California based company that uses locally sourced materials. We looked at their 13L and 62L series.

The 13L is their under cabinet fixture with an extruded aluminum body. The fixture is made with Samsung chips LED line voltage with lots of dimming options. Typically hardwired without conduit. Everything is made to order and has a 2 week lead time.

Lots of customization is available. You can get any length. It is 123 Lumens/Watt. 2700K is an option. It is a modular fixture. They have an outlet on them to plug stuff into it. Polycarbonate lens* on the linear fixture which is great for stairwells.

The 62L series is an architectural grad linear LED  suitable for office spaces, overhead, stairway and hospitality spaces. It's available in surface and cable suspended mounting. The Battery backup can be added on 3' and longer lengths.

They are in process of a smaller fixture and a tunable white fixture so those will be coming soon.

*Their new line has an acrylic lens. It is 124 Lumens/Watt and higher efficiency.

*They have an MRI compliant under cabinet and cove light.

*They also make marquee lights that can have an exterior rated socket.
