OAKLAND, N.J., Oct. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced today that it will present a ground-breaking webinar about how light can promote improved patient outcomes and higher satisfaction rates in health care.

Amerlux's next live webinar explores how light continues to drive health care at a rapid pace. “Lighting can be therapeutic, as well as functional,” said Amerlux President Chuck Campagna. “New research finds light exposure can have a positive impact on healing patients—and even caregivers. This webinar is a true eye-opener.”

Amerlux's free webinar series, "eLumenNation," goes live tomorrow (10/22) at noon EDT with a presentation geared toward helping architects, lighting designers and interior designers learn about what is driving the next revolution in the health care sector. The hot topic, "Applications for Tunable White Lighting in Health Care," lays the groundwork about how light continues to drive health care at a rapid pace. The webinar has been registered with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems (AIA/CES) for continuing professional education. Credits earned on completion of this program will be reported to CES Records for AIA members.

"Lighting can be therapeutic, as well as functional," said Amerlux President Chuck Campagna. "New research finds light exposure can have a positive impact on healing patients—and even caregivers. This webinar is a true eye-opener."

Attendees will learn plenty from the webinar series' third installment:

What tunable white lighting is
How light impacts our circadian rhythms
How lighting can improve patient outcomes
How light exposure helps caregivers stay healthy
What innovative applications for tunable white lighting apply in health care

Amerlux's next free webinar scheduled for Q4 will cover Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is under development.

Immersive Innovation Throughout the Year

Amerlux's new eLumenNation webinar series isn't the only type of innovation that the company has produced in 2019.

In the first half of the year, for example, the LED manufacturer wowed the industry at LightFair 2019 with a slew of new lighting solutions.

When Amerlux presented Aerus at this year's biggest industry event in Philadelphia, editors from BUILDINGS.com quickly called the glare-free illumination the event's top trend. As the cure for poor office lighting, Aerus delivers pleasing indirect lighting for commercial and institutional settings. Leveraging anidolic optics, this sleek linear system can hang a mere 12 inches off the ceiling without hotspots. The ultrawide distribution also means fixtures can hang 10-12 feet off-center, requiring fewer fixtures than most linear systems, while still delivering IES recommended light levels at the desk. Aerus is the solution to alleviate glare and bad lighting in offices.

In addition, Amerlux featured its first generation of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) lighting solutions that will fundamentally change the way the industry thinks about configuration and controls. With this new technology, power will run through the same Category 5 enhanced (CAT5e) cabling as data, turning lighting into an IT matter.

Amerlux also showcased its new Rook 3.5" Square Pendant with the 100 CRI chip, which is the first LED to achieve a 100 CRI rating that renders colors (warm or cool tones) to their most natural. As a result, natural color and skin tones have never looked so good. The new Rook, which is a versatile solution for open ceilings as a surface-mount pendant or a pendant with a remote driver, offers color, comfort, control and configuration.

Other examples of 2019 innovation include:

Slots and Dots, which is an easily configurable track light system that creates visual ambience for hospitality and retail environments. It offers clean, compact styling, which ensures it looks good in any environment. The one-inch-wide track features magnetic attachments, so light sources can be easily snapped in and out as needed. With this track system, it's a cinch to change the lighting in a room between events.
Etch 2'x2' recessed ceiling panels, which were co-developed with world-renowned architecture firm Gensler Associates. They present a clean aesthetic with evenly lit, premium LEDs, bathing open spaces with smooth, ambient light. The new lighting solution delivers a sense of architectural style to an area, unlike traditional drop-ins that have the look and feel of commodity-grade products.
