PEACHTREE CITY, Ga., September 25, 2012 – Cooper Lighting, an industry leader committed to delivering innovative products and driving transformational technology in the lighting industry, has introduced the Lumière Eon line of architectural indoor and outdoor LED luminaires. Featuring a sleek, low profile design and unmatched optical performance by way of Cooper Lighting’s patented AccuLED Optics™, the Eon family includes wall- and ceiling-mount fixtures, sign lights and bollards. The versatile line satisfies solutions for general, accent, wall wash, pathway, sign lighting and wall-mounted security applications, providing up to 30 percent in energy savings over traditional lamp sources. The Lumière Eon LED luminaires are amazingly thin (3/4-inches) and provide efficient and controlled LED illumination in three distinct beam patterns: forward throw, lateral throw and flood. Available in three warm white LED color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K and 4000K with no sacrifice in lumen output, the family features optical efficiencies as high as 95 percent. The Lumière Eon 303-W1 and 303-W2 LED wall luminaires easily mount directly to any wall surface over a standard 4-inch junction box. The Eon 303-W1 can be mounted either as an uplight or downlight and the Eon 303-W2 provides both uplight and downlight solutions simultaneously. The fixtures also feature a unique edge-lit lens option to accentuate the fixture’s aesthetics and style. The family of LED bollards includes the single head Eon 303-B1 and the 303-B2 with two opposing heads. The LED bollard’s outstanding optical performance from the patented AccuLED Optics™ results in spacings up to 24 feet apart in some configurations while still maintaining a continuous minimum 0.5 foot candle light level when mounted at 36-inches using the Type II optics. The patented Lumière LumaLevelTM leveling system provides quick installation, easy adjustment, secure mounting and protection from vibration. Offering the same thin profile look, the Eon 303-A1 accent luminaire features 360-degree rotation and 180degrees vertical aiming, while the 303-P1 pathway luminaire offers downlight illumination from a fixed head. Both ground-mount directly to a supplied, in-ground junction box. -More- Cooper Lighting – Page 2 The Lumière Eon 303-S1 sign light and ceiling-mount luminaire attaches to a wall or a ceiling-mounted straight arm over a standard 4-inch junction box and delivers full vertical adjustment (180 degrees) for easy aiming. An optional 24-inch or 36-inch straight arm is available in lieu of the standard 12-inch arm. The fixture also features the unique edge-lit lens option and can be used to accent, wall wash or as an indirect luminaire for general area lighting. High quality construction materials include a choice of aluminum, bronze, brass, copper and stainless steel. The aluminum can be brushed or powder coated in a wide variety of colors. All luminaires are dimmable, may be used indoors or outdoors and carry an IP66 rating. The bollards, pathway and wall luminaires are also ADA complaint. For all luminaires dimming is achieved with a standard ELV reverse phase dimming driver. Some models also offer an optional 0-10V dimming driver. All models come standard with a universal input LED driver (120-277V, 50/60 Hz).
