Acuity Brands enhances popular Lithonia Lighting TWH and TWP luminaires with LED technology

Date Announced: 05 Feb 2013 TWH and TWP LED outdoor wall-mounted luminaires deliver more than 100,000 hours of maintenance-free operation.ATLANTA - Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI) now offers its popular Lithonia Lighting® TWH and TWP outdoor wall-mounted luminaires with LED technology.TWH and TWP LED luminaires are identical in size to their traditional counterparts and offer a familiar, classic appearance while delivering ultra-reliable, energy-efficient LED illumination. With an expected service life of more than 20 years, the TWH and TWP LED luminaires are virtually maintenance free and eliminate up to 12 metal halide lamp replacements. Designed to replace up to a 400W metal halide luminaire, the TWH and TWP LED luminaires offer up to 77 percent in energy savings and are capable of producing up to 6,700 lumens. “The TWH and TWP LED luminaires are an excellent option when replacing existing traditional wall packs,” said Andrew Nowak, Lithonia Lighting Value Stream Manager, Building Mount Luminaires. “With a larger footprint than other wall packs, the TWH and TWP LED luminaires are able to conceal weathered wall stains and blemishes left by existing luminaires, while also making it possible for a seamless and gradual upgrade to an LED source.” The TWH and TWP LED luminaires are available in 10, 20 and 30 LED configurations. Unlike some similar competing LED luminaires, which offer only bare LEDs behind a glass or polycarbonate outer lens, the TWH and TWP LED luminaires use individual LED primary optics that focus light on the outer lens of the luminaire and allow a larger percentage of the light to be delivered to the target area. Available with a choice of two lenses, the TWH LED luminaire features a die-cast front housing and glass lens, while the TWP LED luminaire features a vandal-resistant polycarbonate lens, which makes the TWP ideal for lower mounting heights.
