Products Selected from Acuity Brands Lighting:
Gotham IVO deep regressed downlights redefine visual comfort and performance with its industry-leading optics and advanced light engine, delivering exceptional light quality across a wide range of options. Engineered with Bounding Ray™ technology and a 45-degree cutoff, IVO expertly controls glare to highlight architectural features and reduce visual fatigue. Perfect Color™ Technology sets a new industry benchmark with a 0.5-step MacAdam ellipse, far surpassing the standard 3-step ellipse for superior color consistency and uniformity. Its modular, field-serviceable design features tool-free twist-and-lock trims and optics for effortless customization, while wire-formed tension springs ensure a secure, sag-free installation with no alignment required. The module and driver ship separately and connect as a single unit, with a plug-in driver that snaps into the junction box for streamlined installation. Offering lumen packages from 500 to 8,000 lumens, L90 at 55,000 hours, Energy Star certification, and emergency options. Additionally, patent-pending optics ensure crisp, clean beams across all trims and styles, offering beam distributions from 10 to 60 degrees in precise 5-degree increments. The result is smooth, uniform illumination that enhances the visual experience in any environment.
Nightingale Embrace overbed luminaire is an innovative solution designed to enhance patient comfort and well-being through thoughtful, multifunction lighting. Unlike traditional overbed luminaires that can create harsh glare, Embrace gently pushes light out of the patient’s direct line of sight, reducing stress and contributing to a more soothing, patient-centered environment. Ideal for applications such as patient rooms, NICUs, senior living, and recovery spaces, Embrace offers ambient, exam, and night observation modes, along with an optional dedicated reading light. Its curved, surface-mounted form factor fits comfortably in tight ceiling spaces and ensures easy installation, while meeting IES RP-29 lighting standards to support both patient comfort and medical functionality. Suitable for installations in spaces with both grid ceilings and hard ceilings. Applicable for both new construction and renovation opportunities. Integrated controls through SensorSwitch™ and compatibility with pillow speaker systems make Embrace a seamless, intuitive lighting solution for modern healthcare settings. Additionally, the Nightingale booth was selected by EdisonReport as the best booth in Americas Hall 2 for their innovative design.
Luminis Pelican is a versatile, contemporary outdoor luminaire designed for both area and pedestrian-scale lighting applications. Combining aesthetics with performance, the Pelican features a sleek, modern silhouette that enhances urban environments such as parks, campuses, courtyards, and city streets. Inspired by the elegant organic forms found in nature, it offers precision-engineered optics to ensure uniform illumination and minimize glare, while multiple distribution options and mounting configurations allow for flexible design integration. Built with durability in mind, it boasts robust materials and IP66-rated sealing for long-term performance in demanding outdoor conditions. The Pelican merges architectural appeal with functional excellence, making it a standout choice for landscape and urban lighting projects.
