621 Recessed LED Downlight is being released by WILA Lighting to produce industry-leading color consistency.

In an effort to comply with DOE codes and LEED standards set by the USGBC, WILA Lighting has solved the problem specifiers, architects and engineers have encountered for years with offering an energy-efficient luminaire with a maximum of + or - 50 Kelvin color temperature variance between fixtures.

While industry-standard LED binning structures allow for color points in a 7 step MacAdam Ellipse, WILA LED Downlights perform to less than a 2 step that is centered on the Black Body Locus at each CCT on the CIE1931 graph. This provides for a perfectly natural light appearance. WILA Lighting also offers a high CRI option with an impressive 95+ CRI. The 621 holds a UL damp listing and complies with LM79 testing standards and is currently undergoing LM80 testing.

WILA Lighting 621 Recessed LED Downlight is offered in 4" or 6" aperture. Multiple reflector beams, finishes and 16 different LiteOptic options allow for creative lighting design solutions.

WILA's North American sister company is Bruck Lighting Systems, an innovator of 7 different specification grade track lighting systems and track spot fixtures, decorative pendant lights, extensive LED offerings and now Energy Star fixtures. Bruck Lighting has been an innovator of energy-efficient LED fixtures for over 9 years.

Top R&D Achievements Honored at DOE Solid-State Lighting Workshop

February 05, 2010

Nine research and development project teams were honored at "Transformations in Lighting," the seventh annual U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solid-State Lighting (SSL) R&D Workshop, held in Raleigh, North Carolina. The three-day event brought together more than 350 researchers, manufacturers, and other industry insiders and observers interested in keeping up to date on the latest solid-state lighting technology developments.

The following organizations were recognized by DOE for significant breakthroughs and achievements in 2009, representing research conducted at large and small companies, universities, and research institutions:

Llight-emitting diodes (LEDs)

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)  

• Sandia National Laboratories was recognized for its use of novel spectroscopy in improving the efficiency of green LEDs.
• University of Florida was recognized for achieving a record efficacy of 59 lm/W in a blue phosphorescent OLED.
• PhosphorTech Corporation was recognized for its work in developing advanced phosphor materials to increase the efficiency of LED lamps.
• Los Alamos National Laboratory was recognized for its efforts to develop new materials to lower the cost of OLED manufacturing.
• Cree, Inc. was recognized for significant improvements in its cool-white multichip LED prototype, which demonstrated record efficacy of 117 lm/W.
• Arkema, Inc. was recognized for its work in developing a lower-cost substitute for indium as a key component of OLED anodes.
• Osram Sylvania Development Inc. was recognized for demonstrating an efficient warm-white LED light engine for use in downlights.
• Universal Display Corporation was recognized for moving toward the development of commercially viable white OLED panels by fabricating a white OLED that achieves 68 lm/W.
• Philips Lumileds Lighting, LLC was recognized for improving warm-white LED performance by demonstrating an LED with an efficacy of 83 lm/W.

If all decorative light strings sold in America this year were ENERGY STAR qualified, we would save over 2 billion kWh per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 300,000 cars!

ENERGY STAR qualified decorative light strings — many which feature LED technology — consume 75% less energy than conventional incandescent lights strands.

ENERGY STAR Qualified Decorative Light Strings:

• Can last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent strands.
• Are cool to the touch, reducing the risk of fire.
• Do not have moving parts, filaments or glass, so they are much more durable and shock-resistant than other light strings.
• Are available in a variety of colors, shapes and lengths.
• Come with a three-year warranty, meaning fewer light string replacements.
• Are independently tested to meet strict lifetime and electrical requirements.
• Products labeled for outdoor use are subjected to weathering tests.
• Some models deliver features such as dimming or color shifting.

ENERGY STAR rated LED decorative light strings!  You'll save at the same time you brighting your neighborhood!
