Lumenpulse’s Lumenbeam was recently shortlisted in the exterior luminaires category for the 2013 Lighting Design Awards
Lumenpulse has signed an agreement with Lutron Electronics which allows it to embed Lutron’s EcoSystem technology directly into its entire LED product line, including indoor and outdoor LED luminaires.
Under the first phase of the agreement, Lumenpulse will enable the major part of its portfolio — including Lumenline, Lumenfacade and Lumenbeam — to be EcoSystem-ready by March 2013. Until this agreement, EcoSystem has been principally available for interior fluorescent lighting.
Lutron’s EcoSystem is a commercial lighting control system, comprised of digitally-addressable dimming ballasts and LED drivers, controls, and environmental sensors.
“Lumenpulse has been highly successful in developing a portfolio of LED products for both indoor and outdoor high-performance lighting,” said Ed Blair, vice president and general manager of Lutron. “This agreement allows our EcoSystem technology to control exterior as well as interior lighting — helping our joint customers save energy and reduce maintenance costs on building infrastructure,” he said.
“Combining the technological strengths of Lumenpulse and Lutron through this agreement provides our customers with great design, combined with significant energy and cost savings,” said Fran ois-Xavier Souvay, Lumenpulse founder, president and CEO. “By working with Lutron, we can give building specifiers confidence that all of our LED luminaires meet their design needs and can also integrate with the EcoSystem building management environment to maximise energy-saving potential. Backed by Lutron global service teams, this combination gives specifiers a solution they can trust.”
Phase II of the agreement will expand the relationship by making EcoSystem compatible with the remaining part of Lumenpulse’s portfolio, thereby providing EcoSystem-ready options across all Lumenpulse product families.
