Digital Lumens adds higher-output LED luminaires with IP-65 rating
Target a wide range of commercial and industrial lighting applications in high-rise, Digital Lumens introduced new 18,000 to 26,000 and-lm, LED-based lighting controls with integrated networks. The new solid-state lighting (SSL) products mark the first time the company has delivered IP-65-rated products for wet locations, and added an element of harvest days for the company intelligent lighting system .
Adaptive network controls have been at the heart of Digital Lumens' technology since the inception of the company, as its fixtures can deliver 90% energy savings by combining energy-efficient SSL with aggressive dimming schemes. The new products take the control capability to the next level by monitoring ambient light levels on a fixture-by-fixture basis ensuring no area is consuming excess power due to over lighting.
The existing 10,000- and 15,000-lm products have been deployed primarily in warehouses, especially in cold storage, where no significant ambient light is present. Senior product manager Joe Adiletta says that the higher-output of new fixtures will lead to usage in open docks, manufacturing areas, and even covered parking structures where daylight enters through windows, doors, other openings, and even skylights.
Fluorescent and HID replacements
The luminaires are meant as functional alternatives to 4- and 6-lamp fluorescent fixtures, and the company says the SSL alternative will yield significant savings over fluorescent lamps and even greater savings relative to HID lighting. Director of marketing Allison Parker said that the new fixtures can cut annual energy costs to $0.03/ft annually.
“The higher lumen output, integrated daylight harvesting, and enhancements to the Intelligent Lighting System make Digital Lumens’ solutions more appealing to a broader range of our industrial customers, including those looking for lumen-for-lumen replacements of their 400W metal halide or 6- and 8-lamp fluorescent fixtures,” said Gary Hubbard, project manager for Leading Edge Design Group, a Digital Lumens reseller. “Facilities engineers are very interested in controllable high-bay LED lighting and we’re very excited to offer the expanded Digital Lumens portfolio to them.

A standard component of the Digital Lumens' 18000- and 26000-lumen high bay LED fixtures, the daylight sensors determine the amount of light available from windows or skylights and slowly and intelligently fine-tune the output to reach preferable light
So we applied our expertise to come up with a high quality lighting solution in an ultra low profile package we call our Nano LED Strip Light. Not only have we shrunk the package by 3mm but we were able to maintain the same 120 Lumen brightness per
A Gross Electric press release suggests taking a tip from Terry McGowan, the ALA's director of engineering and owner of Lighting Ideas, Inc. “You must learn a new word: lumens,” he says. “That's how light output is measured worldwide.
By comparison, the utilization efficiency of the MCA is over 90 percent; as such, a 35 lumen per watt array has the same output as its much larger fluorescent cousin. A further advantage: the MCA does not contain mercury--an environmental advantage.
