November 20, 2002—Cooper Lighting products and applications have been recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Progress Report Committee as having “an advancement in the art and science of lighting.” This year, the company had nineteen total products accepted in the 2002 Progress Report.
The IESNA Progress Report presents significant developments and improvements in the lighting industry over the past year, including new products, concepts, applications, research, publications, trends, and activities. Rather than aesthetics, judging honors technical advancements that are unique, innovative, and significant to the lighting industry.
The accepted products include the following Cooper Lighting products and applications:
- Lumire Monaco 2002 Outdoor Landscape Area and Accent Fixture uses the new 39 watt T4 ceramic metal halide lamp and features an integral adjustable optic to vary the beam spread.
- Lumire Monaco 2001 Outdoor Landscape Area and Accent Fixture uses the new 39 watt T6 ceramic metal halide lamp and features an integral adjustable optic to vary the beam spread.
- The Lumire Monaco 2000 and Cambria Landscape Fixtures both use the new MR8 lamp for an ultra compact shape and can use up to 3 internal lighting control media.
- Lumire Aspen Series Type 3 Bollards feature adjustable optics by raising and lowering the top to vary the optical pattern for a custom distribution while on site. Tops can be locked in place with a tamperproof mechanism.
- Lumire LED Well Lights are available in 3 sizes using the Lumileds 5, 7 and 12 lamp arrays.
- Halo Track Lighting has designed a series of track lampholders that use the new Osram Sylvania line voltage MR16 lamp that uses a twist & lock GU10 lamp base for smaller fixtures without the bulk and cost of a low voltage transformer.
- Halo T4.5 Ceramic Metal Halide Lampholders featuring adjustable beam and ultra compact electronic ballast board designed in the track head arm for a miniature-sized fixture.
- Fail-Safe Terrapin Vandal Resistant Fixture now features the new 57 watt Compact Fluorescent Lamp and both the 22 and 40 watt T5 circline lamps.
- Lumark Benchmark and Steeler High-bay Luminaires now offer a micro-cellular refractor option to reduce glare and reflected lamp image.
- The McGraw-Edison Vision Wall Small Luminaire now is available with 57 watt compact fluorescent lamp technology. Vision Wall meets IES full cut-off at any angle and is the first to offer internally adjustable optics while maintaining a uniform fixture position.
- McGraw-Edison introduces the new Vision Bollard featuring an integral leveling system that employs two leveling vials for accurate installation. It exceeds IES cutoff classification without louvers or external media.
- The McGraw-Edison BSC and BRC Bollards are now available with 57 watt compact fluorescent lamps that provide efficient instant on operation without the hot-restrike issues associated with Metal Halide.
- Newly engineered optics and housing for the McGraw-Edison Flat Glass Galleria have resulted in the smallest 1000-watt luminaire and the lowest EPA at 2.4 of all similar products. It also features the highest fixture efficiency for type III and type V optics of any comparable product.
- McGraw-Edison has introduced the SLE optic for the Vision Area Luminaire. This Spill Light Eliminator limits lumens behind pole to 2%. Forward throw efficiency is not reduced and with SLE Vision, the luminaire maintains a full-cutoff classification.
- The IESNA Progress Report acknowledges the first applications of accepted products. This is the Vision Wall Mount fixture from McGraw-Edison installed in an uplight design on the Starbuck in Peachtree City, Georgia.
- The WizardPro Remote has been added to the DLS control system. It can program up to 127 areas each having up to 12 zones and scenes. The system can also be re-programmed from this wireless control.
- This new DLS Occupancy Sensor Interface when used with a motion detector allows the system to be switched between scenes depending on whether the space is occupied. The scenes can be reprogrammed using the Wizard or WizardPro remote control.
- The DLS Narrow View Occupancy Sensor is the only cubicle office control that can reassign control areas with a remote. This sensor head provides a narrow cone of 55 degrees to allow individual cube lighting control without affecting adjacent spaces.
- Cooper Lighting’s new education center is located in Peachtree City, Georgia. The SOURCE offers product training in a new 35,000 sq. ft. facility and many seminars that qualify for CEU credits needed by architects, engineers, designers, and other lighting professionals for re-certification.
