what the Internet has done for computing

Lumentalk will change the way electrical engineers, lighting designers, architects and electrical contractors think about upgrading to LED lighting fixtures,” said Fran?ois-Xavier Souvay, Founder, President and Led linear high bay light. “LEDs are made of silicon; essentially they’re semiconductors that happen to emit light. And just like computers, LEDs can communicate information, not just illuminate. Lumentalk turns LED fixtures into networks that can do for lighting what the Internet has done for computing – enable us to think of lighting as an intelligent system that’s scalable from simple broadcast dimming options to complex energy harvesting systems.”

According to lighting designer Iain Ruxton, Associate at Speirs + Major, the technology will reduce the complexity of refurbishing older buildings. “Lumentalk will save time and money, enabling you to introduce modern lighting capability without having to install new cables. You don’t want to open old walls, and the older they are, the nastier they can be. This is a big win for retrofits and refurbishments projects, saving time, money and client disruption. On top of that, because it works across manufacturers’ hardware, Lumentalk eliminates any battles about compatibility, which brings a savings in contractual complexity, too.”

The new lens enables up to a five percent increase in system efficacy compared to the standard lens and delivers an unrivalled hemispheric light pattern. Cree LMH2 modules enable true 50 watt and 70 watt ceramic metal halide LED replacements and support an expansive range of lighting applications, including downlights, wall sconces, pendants, flush-mounted, spot, track and ceiling fan lights.

The new barrier-breaking LMH2 module is also now available with a 120-277V universal driver with 0/1-10 volt dimming capability. The extremely versatile and modular Led high bay light offers a range of lumen, color temperature, driver and beam shape options in one common form factor – enabling lighting manufacturers to quickly customize their applications and speed time-to-market.
