All application performance results have been calculated using real luminaire photometric test data and OEM
published system specifications for Ledalite factory standard components at the time of publication. Illuminance
information as published are average maintained footcandle values based on predictive analyses with calculation
grids centered in the respective rooms. Changes to luminaire mounting and/or workplane heights affect uniformity
but have no significant impact on energy performance or light levels. Modifications to architectural conditions,
luminaire components, and calculation parameters will yield different results. All LED application data is based
on 4000K photometry. For further information or custom analysis for your project, please contact the Ledalite
Applications Engineering Department. All other product or service names are the property of their respective
owners. Luminaires use fluorescent lamps that contain small amounts of mercury. Such lamps are labeled "Contains
Mercury" and/or with the symbol "Hg." Lamps that contain mercury must be disposed of in accordance with local
requirements. Information regarding lamp recycling and disposal can be found at www.lamprecycle.org.

Exceptional Control
& Efficiency
MesoOptics technology provides the best possible combination of control and
luminance. Higher transmission efficiencies than traditional optical and control
methods, means lower energy consumption. Small amounts of controlled
brightness are introduced to the vertical surfaces, creating a brighter and more
visually comfortable environment without unwanted glare.

How it Works
Philips Ledalite’s revolutionary MesoOptics is manufactured in a manner similar to the holographic microstructures that
appear on most credit cards. Micron size light distribution elements are applied to a recyclable substrate, creating a
highly efficient and unique lighting control approach.

How it Works
The LEDLOGIQ integrated design approach
delivers a highly efficacious luminaire with
consistent color along a continuum of luminance,
with no direct view of the light source.
1. A highly efficient 0-10V dimmable driver delivers
constant current to thermally managed high-power LEDs.
2. White light emitted from the linear LED array, passes
through a biconvex lens where it is internally reflected
and laterally refocused.
3. Light is redirected by 98% efficient Miro Silver reflectors
and then mixes inside the optical cavity.
4. Light passes through MesoOptics film and emerges
from the translucent lens in a precisely controlled
batwing distribution.

Energy’s Lighting Facts Program. As a part of this program,
all TruGroove LED configurations are independently
tested to IES LM-79 industry standards to validate their
performance. The Lighting Facts label provides key
product performance data to ensure LED products
perform as expected.
Futureproof. Period.
LEDLOGIQ solutions are field upgradable to stay current
with the latest advancements in solid state lighting technology.

quick-wire plugs. | 5. If required, unscrew the LED driver. | 6. Remove the LED driver and replace.
5 Year Total System Warranty
TruGroove LED comes with a 5 year total system warranty, that covers the entire
luminaire—including the LED board, driver and all fixture components—with world
class support backed by Philips Ledalite.

Wireless. Batteryless. Limitless.
Airwave wireless controls represent a quantum leap forward in flexibility and sustainability. Using organic
sources of renewable kinetic and solar energy, Airwave delivers wireless individual personal control,
daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and full range dimming for spaces where the ability to control
energy and lighting are essential. The simple flick of a batteryless, wireless switch creates enough kinetic
energy for simple ON/OFF control or dimming. Solar powered Airwave sensors monitor ambient
daylight levels or occupancy and wirelessly signal luminaires to adjust output and save energy.

Integrated Daylight Sensor
TruGroove is available with Philips Ledalite Response Daylight sensors.
These fully integrated sensors can provide 30-35% energy savings in
window-adjacent locations—helping to reduce operating expenses and
comply with new energy codes. Response Daylight sensors are factory
pre-calibrated and ready to use right out of the box. Just plug in the
fixture—no power packs, standalone sensors or low-voltage wiring
schemes required. The sensors adjust light output gradually with minimal
distraction for occupants. A built-in delay prevents disruptions from
passing clouds and occasional shadows.

How it works
In this example, two control zones have been created where
there is adequate daylight contribution, and one uncontrolled
zone where daylight is minimal. As daylight contribution increases,
sensors can automatically and gradually reduce electric light
output to save energy.
