Amerlux LINEA 1.5 and GRUV 1.5 Architectural LED Linear Lighting Family Wins Product Innovation Award from Architectural Products Magazine
FAIRFIELD, N.J., Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Honored as a complete family of architectural slim-line recessed and pendant mounted luminaires common in quality, efficiency and aperture size, the LINEA 1.5" pendant and the GRUV 1.5" recessed LED linear luminaire family from Amerlux® has received a Product Innovation Award from Architectural Products magazine, according to Amerlux President/CEO Chuck Campagna.
More than 50 independent industry professionals served as judges and reviewed 300-plus architectural products that were submitted by manufacturers. The award program recognizes innovation in the development, manufacturing and refinement of building-related products and submissions included basic product information, sustainable features of product materials and production, case studies illustrating product applications, and comments from architects, builders and contractors who have used the products.
"We are proud to accept a Product Innovation Award for our LINEA 1.5 and GRUV 1.5 family, which has been praised for providing robust illumination while offering clean, understated aesthetics and design continuity from discreet linear profiles," explained Mr. Campagna. "This special combination of unobtrusive light sourcing is available with flexible mounting capabilities, solid performance, high-quality extruded materials and superior LED technology and drivers."
The LINEA 1.5" and GRUV 1.5" share equal components and a miniature aperture that allows designers to create recessed patterns running on walls and over ceilings, then transition nicely to open ceilings. Available at 5w or 10w per foot, the luminaires deliver a high output with up to 650 lumens per foot and a significant efficacy at 73 lumens per watt. Custom sized lengths are available to meet designers' exact specifications.
GRUV 1.5" is available with flanged or trimless styles and can be recessed in ceilings or walls while performing at high levels in gypsum board, Armstrong TechZone™, USG Logix™, Slot and T-grid ceilings, or J-mold for all configurations. The fixtures can be individual or continuous row-mounted using a drawer latching system that provides easy and precise joining of units for straight runs, wall runs for longer runs with J channels, or in T or L shaped patterns.
LINEA 1.5" is perfect for direct, indirect or both direct/indirect illumination and can be cable mounted for open ceiling applications, over desks or over a conference table, with or without a louver, or as architectural decorative lighting above a reception counter. The system offers the industry's first linear LED fixture designed for use with a louver, for optimal glare control, light diffusion and sight line reduction. Full range dimming capabilities are offered, as well as the option to operate with Lutron EcoSystem.
Other options include a broad array of accessories and more than 200 durable powder coat painted finishes to complement nearly any design scheme. GRUV is also available in 4-, 6- and 12-inch apertures and with a fluorescent light source, while LINEA is offered in other sizes using fluorescent.
