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!

They presented the warm dim downlight with Dim 1 driver, dim to black. It is available in 4" Shallow housing, IC rated (804S housing)

* We liked the soft and nicely dimmed 1800K.

  

 

For the Wall-washer in 800 series, they recommended to use the 25° optic and use the linear spread lens to achieve a wider light spread (by 1 sqft).

The new Wall-washer delivers 800lm vs standard 350 delivered lumen.

Installation note for Wall-washer:

The lamp to be on 45° tilt, the perforated screen to be perpendicular to the wall, the axis of the magnets (90° increments) line up with the grid line on the housing (this should be done before mudding).

  • 120° light beam with 360° rotation.
  • Hex-louver (15% to 20% lumen output drop).

  • The remote driver can be placed up to 120ft away from the fixture when using a remote canopy. (we won't need J-box !)

*This Mono-point is the only title 24 approved remodel fixture.

*The new 10° optic coming next year.

*A new 200 Series coming soon. It has all the optic options, trims, shallow, IC rated housing, and price around $200! It's a commercial/VE product.
