Dual Sensor LED Bi-Level Luminaire

The DS-LED from LaMar Lighting is a bi-level LED luminaire controlled by two external infrared motion sensors, designed to provide safe, dependable illumination while conserving energy.  Operating at 20 percent light/power in standby mode, the DS-LED offers safety and security and illuminates to full light output upon occupancy.  It is designed for stairwells, utility rooms and other areas where maximum light levels are not required on a constant basis.

Sensors are field adjustable for optimum coverage, range and time delay using optional IR remote control.  The DS-LED is factory pre-set to 5 percent light level, 5 minute time delay and 360 deg/26 ft diameter coverage and is universal voltage, consuming as little as 5 Watts in standby mode.  Emergency battery backup models are also available.

Energy-Efficient Lighting Technology Helps Companies Trim Budgets

New York (December 15, 2008) – LaMar Lighting, a leading developer of energy-efficient lighting solutions, has introduced a patented line of cutting-edge products called Occu-Smart®. Through the use of motion sensor-controlled bi-level lighting, Occu-Smart® is the most energy-efficient line of lighting fixtures on the market, providing its users energy savings of up to 85%.

Infrequently occupied areas such as stairwells, corridors and conference rooms average only 2% occupancy, meaning that lights are often left on full-illumination for 98% of the day, using up excess energy and money. Occu-smart® resolves this issue by providing full illumination when its motion sensors detect that an area is occupied and later dimming to code minimum lighting requirements upon vacancy to never leave you in the dark.

Best of all, Occu-Smart® is designed by LaMar Lighting, providing more than 50 years of experience to the new technology. The result is a product that arrives ready to go as a fully wired, one-piece unit that can be installed in minutes. It also has the ability to condition bulbs to increase their useful life. With its advanced bi-level lighting technology, occu-smart® enables buildings to customize standby illumination with four pre-set light levels: 5%, 10%, 20% or 30%, while an adjustable time delay allows buildings to set each fixture to delay dimming from 5 to 30 minutes, so it suits individual building dynamics. Hotel, healthcare, educational, residential and business sectors using occu-smart® achieve significant energy savings through the use of motion sensor controlled bi-level lighting. In 2002, occu-smart® was awarded LightFair International’s Energy Award for best new energy saving product of the year.
With more than 50 years of experience in the lighting industry, LaMar Lighting is securing another 50 years of business by developing practical, trend-setting technologies for a wide variety of applications.
