LumenOptix Introduces New ‘LRD3’ LED Downlight

High lumen output and easy installation enable newest addition to LRD family to ‘reach new heights in retrofit’

LumenOptix LRD3.jpg(Montgomeryville, PA – January 21st, 2015)  LumenOptix, a leader in innovative design for the built environment, proudly announces the introduction of its ‘LRD3,’ the newest addition to its renowned family of Retrofit Downlight Luminaires (or ‘LRDs’), a broad range of LED retrofit solutions that enable a commercial downlight of any make, model, or size to be upgraded in just minutes to energy-efficient, maintenance-free LED technology.  Thanks to the LRD family’s unique open-architecture platform, LumenOptix has chosen CREE and CREE’s entire range of LMH02 modules and drivers for the LRD3, which has enabled the new family of fixtures to be available in 1,000-8,000 lumen packages and to feature high CRI, high R9, multiple Kelvin temperatures, and the option of sunset dimming. 

Available in 15-95 Watt models that replace 250 and 500 Watt quartz halogen and 250 and 400 Watt metal halide downlights to drive energy savings of up to 90 percent, the LRD3’s higher 6,000-8,000 lumen versions are ideal for recessed lighting upgrades in large auditoriums, malls, airports, houses of worship, and other public areas that feature high ceilings (up to 50 feet and even higher).  In addition to over 40 different LED module options, LumenOptix’s range of optical distributions, anodizing finishes, and aperture sizes offer the market its choice of hundreds of different configurations.  Additionally, the LRD3 family’s sunset dimming capability in lower-wattage versions enables these LED fixtures to achieve the appealing ambiance of incandescent and halogen technology by shifting to “warmer” color temperatures (2700K-1700K) as the module dims, a must-have feature for retail, hospitality, and other applications.  Similar to previous generations of the LRD, the Energy Star-certified, American-made LRD3 fixtures are easy to install in minutes from below the ceiling without the need for tools and with no damage to the ceiling.

“We’ve been working diligently at LumenOptix to design the LRD3 and are excited to launch this unique new product line expansion,” said Jaroslav Valerian, Head of Engineering and Design at LumenOptix.   “We’re also proud to introduce the industry’s first specification-grade retrofit for 6-inch wall wash applications.”

“We’re delighted to have created the first line of retrofit solutions that offer the breadth of options and performance characteristics expected of a true specification-grade lighting solution while installing quickly and easily into the existing fixture and infrastructure,” said LumenOptix founder Jay Goodman.  “We’re excited to be able to leverage our expertise as a niche player to pioneer and lead this dynamic segment and I’m proud of Jaroslav and our entire design team for their work on this breakthrough development.  The marketplace can be assured that, with the LRD’s 8,000 lumen version, the team at LumenOptix isn’t afraid to scale new heights.”
