Intense Lighting’s ICL-MBW2 and OB1 Recognized in the
2013 IES Progress Report
ANAHEIM – (October 30, 13) – Intense Lighting, a leading manufacturer of awardwinning LED specification grade lighting solutions is pleased to announce that the ICLMBW2 Pluris Multiple and the OB1-ORBIS LED Track Luminaire are included in the
Illuminating Engineering Society’s (IES) 2013 Progress Report. The Progress Report
documents significant global developments and achievements in the lighting industry as
well as in the areas of art and lighting technology. It features new products, applications
and design tools that are significant enough to share with its entire membership, which
represents more than 10,000 lighting engineers worldwide.
According to Committee Chairperson Mark Benguerel, there were 225 total submittals
this year. A team of 34 dedicated committee members diligently vetted each product by
reviewing photometric reports and extensive technical documentation before making its
final recommendations. In the end, 143 products were selected for inclusion in the
annual Progress Report. Out of those 143, 118 were luminaires and just about half of
those are now being recognized, including the ICL-MBW2 and the ORBIS LED from
Intense Lighting.
“We are extremely honored to be selected by the IES for our contributions this year to
the lighting industry,” says Kenny Eidsvold, company president. “Both the ICL-MBW2
and the ORBIS LED track luminaire truly represent the very best of our product design in
terms of efficacy, performance and versatility.”
The ICL-MBW2 is a feature-enriched, recessed flood luminaire. With a fully retractable
head that allows up-to 60-degree vertical tilt, the ICL-MBW2 delivers on performance
and versatility. Designed for flood or wall wash lighting, the ICL-MBW2 offers multiple
CCT and CRI options. It also features 3 Step MacAdam (3 SDMC) color point uniformity
and a minimum of 50,000 operating hours. The ICL-MBW2 is covered by the company’s
10-Year LED Warranty.

Intense Lighting’s OB1-ORBIS LED Track Luminaire is an expansion of the company’s
award-winning MB track line but offers a cleaner, more sophisticated design aesthetic. It
is a highly efficient luminaire featuring 68 lumens per watt (LPW). With its excellent
beam control utilizing high performance precision optics, combined with a miniature
package, the ORBIS LED is an excellent alternative to a 75W, MR16 or 20W ceramic
metal halide. Other features include multiple CRI and CCT options, 3 Step MacAdam (3
SDMC) binning and active thermal management that includes a quiet and reliable
operation noise rating below 22dBA. Like the ICL-MBW2, the OB1-ORBIS also comes
with the Intense Lighting 10-Year LED Warranty.
