Amerlux has unveiled the Hornet LED portfolio of superior-performance 15-W LED track luminaires as a substitute for 50-W MR16 halogen luminaires, with superior center beam candlepower and lumen output.
The palm-sized Hornet LED luminaires are accurately designed for superior optical and thermal performance. The advanced 15-W LED, a result of one-year extensive research by Philips Lumileds, delivers a lumen output comparable to 50-W halogen light, while consuming only one-third, the power. The operating life of the new LED is 50,000 h at an initial lumen output of 70%.
Amerlux offers Hornet in a broad array of beam-spread distributions with specialized optics and complete range of dimmability. The Hornet is compatible with a 15-degree spot that provides 775 lm for a 45-degree Wide Flood or an 800 lm for a 28-degree Flood with 785 lm. It also features tool-free, field-exchangeable optics. The company employs microbinned LEDs to keep color stability and quality between fixtures.
The Hornet uses a white light having a CRI of 82 and constant color temperature of 3000 K that provides steady beams devoid of ultraviolet or infrared radiation and projected heat, making it suitable for heat or color sensitive products. The installation package of the Hornet LED track luminaire comprises a ballast housing, lamp, die-cast lens bezel as well as a die-cast aluminum heat sink. The Hornet also features a 360º rotation and a lockable vertical tilt of 0-90° for accurate focusing. The lighting fixture can be fixed on low-voltage canopies or track systems.
Silver texture, black texture and white texture finishes are the regular options offered by Amerlux. However, the company offers more than 200 powder coat paint finishes as custom color options to match almost any design scheme.
