lighting productsCooper Lighting LED outdoor solutionsCooper Lightingboasts it hasintroduced one ofthe industry’s largestLED outdoorproduct offerings,providing solutionsfor streetlighting, area/site, wallmount, parkinggarage, canopy and pathway applications.The initial rollout includes 16 luminairesfeaturing Cooper’s patent-pending modularLightBAR technology and AccuLED Optics.The company says the luminaires—includingbrands Invue, McGraw-Edison, Lumark andStreetworks—can provide up to 75% energysavings over high-intensity discharge outdoorsources, and all are Dark Sky compliant.COOPER LIGHTINGwww.cooperlighting.comBetaLED 304 series achieves 100+ lumensper wattBetaLED—a division of Ruud LightingInc.—introduced the 304 Series luminaires,BetaLED’s first luminaire to achieve over 100lumens per watt (LPW). The luminaires arescalable up to 12,000 lumens of delivered lightoutput; the series achieves superior efficiency,longevity, lumen maintenance and light control,boasts BetaLED, while reducing energyuse. By employing a two-level dimmingoption, the luminaires save even more energy.The luminaires can be installed in single- ordouble-skin open-air petroleum station canopiesand building soffits (i.e. banks and quickserve-restaurants). Other optics with the newtechnology upgrade will be available soon foradditional applications, such as parking structures.BETALEDwww.betaled.comLedtronics CLL2X2-400-TPW-001W recessedceiling luminaireLedtronics has introduced LED replacementsfor recessed T-bar fluorescent ceilingluminaires: theCLL2X2-400-TPW-001W uses only24W of power andreplaces 2x2 standard64W units, while the CLL2X2-800-TPW-001W consumes less than 36W and replaces80W fluorescent fixtures. They operate ona voltage range of 100-277vAC, providingsolid-state 5000K pure-white lighting thatcreates less heat than conventional lighting.Ledtronics says the luminaires offer up to a300% longer lifespan than fluorescents, usingup to 50% less energy than standard 2x2s.The luminaires are installed using existingT-bar recessed 2×2 module light fixtures, andconstructed with a 22-ga, cold-rolled steelhousing with baked white-polyester finish;clear prismatic acrylic lens in a 20ga steelframe, with T-hinge and positive springloadedlatch.LEDTRONICSwww.ledtronics.comPass and Seymour dual-technology wallswitch sensorsLegrand/Pass & Seymourintroduced dual-technologywall switch sensors to provide“optimum energy managementand control” for a varietyof commercial applications.Suitable for small offices, executivesuites, etc., the sensorsoffer the choice of automaticor manual ON operation; thecombination of passive infrared (PIR) andultrasonic technologies provides high sensitivityto both small and large movements, alongwith wide, dense detection. Three controloptions can set the ON/OFF time delay onceoccupancy is detected; a self-adaptive optionadjusts time delays based on usage patterns,assigning delays as brief as seven minuteswhen space is typically vacant, and up to 30minutes for busier times. The product designfits into existing boxes for simple installation,and a bi-level model provides control of twoindependent lighting loads from the same box.LEGRAND/PASS & SEYMOURwww.legrand.usNxGen LED S14 bulbsNxGen Technologies has developed LEDreplacement lamps for the S14-shaped incandescentbulbs commonly found in decorativelighting applications. The lamps consumeless than one watt of electricity, says NxGen,while giving off the same amount of light, andhave been designed to last up to 40,000 hours.The S14s come in various transparent andopaque (ceramic) colours and, according tothe company, are indistinguishable from theirincandescent counterparts. Common applicationsfor the S14 include decorative lightingfound in restaurants, bars, theatre signage,shopping malls, etc.NXGEN TECHNOLOGIESwww.martekled.comLeviton launches new Decora CFLslide dimmerLeviton launched what it calls the industry’sfirst slide dimmer specifically designed for usewith a variety of dimmable CFL bulbs. Whenin Auto mode, the Decora dimmer detectswhether the bulb is an incandescent or dimmableCFL, determines high- and low-enddimming capabilities, and adjusts the dimmingrange accordingly. According to Leviton, thisslide dimmer addresses consumer concernsover flickering, inability to turn the light On,and so forth.LEVITONwww.leviton.comproductsBrady launches BMP71 label printerBrady launched what it calls its most versatileportable printer. The BMP71 labelprinter boasts over 400 different labeloptions and a fast print speed, and canprint on more than 30 different types oflabel materials, including self-laminatingsleeves and flag labels, indoor/outdoorvinyl up to 2-in. wide, polyester die-cutlabels and more. The BMP71 labellerincludes label design wizards for electrical,voice/datacom and safety/general IDapplications. With step-by-step instructionsand easy-to-use templates, these wizardsprovide a convenient shortcut for creatingpopular labels. Hundredsof symbols and graphicsare available, and storagespace to save more than100,000 label files. Thelabeller’s full-colourscreen shows a fullscaleimage of thelabel as it is being created,meaning there’s no needto create multiple ‘test labels’ to see howthe label will turn out.BRADY CANADAwww.bradyid.com/BMP7Ideal Industries 25-ft Auto-Lock twosidedmeasuring tapeIdeal’s 25-ft Auto-Locktape measureboasts a 1-in.blade with bold,black numbers on bothsides, meaning you don’t have to twist thetape to read a measurement. This simpleenhancement can take several minutes off amulti-bend conduit job, says Ideal, facilitatingmore precise fits. The Auto-Lock systemautomatically locks the blade into place whenit’s pulled out, eliminating snap-backs or theneed to manually lock the blade with a pushbuttonmechanism. Once finished, you simplypush the retrieval button to safely unlockand return the blade.IDEAL INDUSTRIESwww.idealindustries.caMilwaukee 2237-20 clamp meterMilwaukee introduced clampmeters to its line of test &measurement products, witha feature set specificallytailored to electricians (andHVAC/R technicians). The2237-20 boasts embeddednon-contact voltage detectionand LED worklights,frequency and true-rmsmeasurements. The meterhas a 1.3-in. jaw opening forlarge conductors, a thin jawprofile for tight spaces and ahigh-contrast, white-on-blackdisplay.
