Deco Lighting's Bi-Level Curve Parking Luminaire selected by the IES for 2011 Progress Report

Dec. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- The Deco Lighting DSBL-CP Bi-Level Curve Parking luminaire was selected by the
IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) for their prestigious Progress Report for 2011.
The DSBL-CP was chosen as an outstanding innovation in luminaire technology and
design, and  “represents a unique and significant advancement in the art and science
of lighting”. The luminaire will be featured in the Progress Report presentation at the
IES Annual Conference in Minneapolis in November, 2012 and at regional IES
conferences throughout the U.S.

The innovative DSBL-CP Bi-Level Curve Parking luminaire features Deco-SMART™
with a built-in sensor that automatically saves up to 80% in energy costs. Designed
for parking garages, building stairwells, warehouses and low occupancy applications.
The luminaire operates with a patented, integral microwave sensor that maintains low
level illumination for safety and security, and instantly increases light levels when people
or vehicles enter the space. With Deco-SMART™ the low standby lighting complies with minimum footcandle safety egress codes and application design requirements. Using electromagnetic waves, the microwave sensor detects occupants and switches the
luminaire to full bright illumination. Each luminaire operates independently, and an
adjustable time delay restores the lighting back to a low energy saving level. Energy
savings of up to 80% can be achieved, with an excellent  one to three year ROI (return
on investment). Unlike other bi-level systems, DecoSMART™ does not require external
sensors, controls, additional wiring, switching components and their added costs.  

The DSBL-CP Curve Bi-Level Parking luminaire is ideal for retrofit or new construction
in low ceiling parking garages. These applications are often illuminated with inefficient fluorescent channel type fixtures that waste energy operating full bright 24/7, and are
not suitable for HID fixtures that require higher mounting heights.  The DSBL-CP
Curve luminaire features high quality construction for durability, corrosion and vandal
resistance. The one-piece UV stabilized acrylic lens features a rounded contoured
shape with a linear refractive pattern for smooth, even distribution without glare, lamp
shadows or hot spots. Invisible to the eye, the microwave sensor is internally mounted
in a separate compartment with a removable lens cover for convenient access for
adjustment. Die-formed code gauge steel housing is finished after fabrication with a
premium grade, high reflectance baked white enamel. The DSBL-CP Curve luminaire
is available with 1, 2 or 3 T8 fluorescent lamps. Optional daylighting capability and
stepdown 50% dimming.
