Cooper Lighting and Cooper Controls’ Products Accepted into
Prestigious 2011 IES Progress Report for Technical Advancement
Ten innovative products, including eight LED luminaires, represent
significant product developments and improvements to the lighting industry.
PEACHTREE CITY, GA, February 10, 2012 – Cooper Lighting, an industry leader committed to
delivering innovative products and driving transformational technology in the lighting industry,
announces that ten of its innovative products have been recognized by the Illuminating Engineering
Society (IES) Progress Committee as providing ―an advancement in the art and science of lighting.‖
Altogether, Cooper Lighting had nine products accepted—including eight LED luminaires—and Cooper
Controls, a business unit of Cooper Lighting, had an additional energy-monitoring product accepted.
The products are featured in the 2011 IES Progress Report, which presents significant developments
and improvements in the lighting industry over the past year.
The accepted products include:
• Cooper Lighting’s Neo-Ray Straight and Narrow 22 LED Luminaires, available in three color
temperatures and offering a 25 percent energy savings over fluorescent sources, create slender lines of
continuous, uniform illumination for recessed, suspended, surface- and wall-mounted applications.
• Cooper Lighting’s Corelite R Mini LED Luminaire is a unique 1' x 1' luminaire that provides a 28
percent reduction in energy with a 10 percent increase in delivered lumens, when compared to a
traditional 32W compact fluorescent fixture.
• Cooper Lighting’s Corelite Loft/Element Micro LED Suspended Luminaire, which features independent
dimming of the uplight and downlight components, achieves a high luminaire efficacy of 85 lumens per
watt (lm/W). Comparable to a 54W T5HO fixture, this design provides a 17 percent reduction in energy
with a 7 percent increase in lumens.
• Cooper Lighting’s Halo Stasis LED Luminaire, designed for retail, hospitality and commercial spaces,
features tight optical control with minimal spill light and multiple patented field-changeable optical
distributions including Spot (15°), Narrow Flood (25°) and Flood (40°).

• Cooper Lighting’s RSA COMBOLIGHT LED Luminaire is the first airtight, IC-rated multiple-head
recessed luminaire that offers one to six heads equipped with 18W LEDs and a double-gimbal design
that allows the product to tilt 45 degrees in any direction.
• Cooper Lighting’s IRiS® Linear Spread Lens Trim, designed for use in multiple wall wash luminaires
including compact fluorescent, halogen and ceramic metal halide sources, utilizes a unique color
neutral glass lens technology eliminating the green tint of light found in standard glass. The result is
increased optical efficiency with smooth vertical illumination.
• Cooper Lighting’s Metalux Accord LED Series, which evenly distributes the perfect amount of ―softer‖
light, is available in two light levels, multiple color temperatures and boasts an efficacy of 88 lumens per
watt (lm/W) with a 50,000 hour rated life. A quick disconnect feature allows for simple future LED
upgrades.
• Cooper Lighting’s Halo H4 LED Adjustable Gimbals, the first small aperture (4-inch) adjustable
downlights with the appearance and performance similar to a low voltage MR16 gimbal, features
interchangeable reflectors with beam distributions of 25, 35 and 50 degrees, four color temperatures
and an adjustable 35-degree tilt.
• Cooper Lighting’s Halo 4-inch and 6-inch LED Wall Wash Downlight Trims deliver uniform illumination
and are the first residential and commercial grade LED trims of their kind, allowing these trims to be
used for both IC and non-IC applications.
• The Cooper Controls advanced Venergy Advanced Metering System is a code compliant energy
saving solution, which monitors energy consumption, is easy to use, specify and scalable across any
enterprise.
The Progress Report submittals, which include new products, applications, research, publications and
design tools, are reviewed by the IES Progress Committee. The committee consists of industry experts
from all different aspects of the lighting industry with the mission of keeping in touch with developments
in the art and science of lighting throughout the world. The committee prepares a yearly review of
achievements for the Society. Each submittal goes through a judging process and is evaluated for its
uniqueness, innovativeness and significance to the lighting industry. Judging is not based on
aesthetics, but focuses on and honors technical advancements.
The accepted products were presented at the IES Annual Conference in Austin, Texas this past
November. The 2011 IES Progress Report was featured in the January issue of the Society’s monthly
magazine, Lighting Design + Application (LD+A). The Report is also posted on the IES website and is
presented by IES Sections throughout the year at section meetings. To view the accepted products,
