Whether it’s for safety, function or aesthetics, lighting has a big impact on how a property looks and operates. Recent advances in technology have allowed for enhanced lightning solutions that are both energy efficient and affordable. Today’s buildings are outfitted with sleek LED lights and designs, and smart products that are intelligent, durable and long-lasting.

In fact, it’s fair to say a mobile revolution has hit the automation lighting sector. Now, apps installed on smart phones and tablets can allow property and facility managers to control networked LED products, both inside and out, remotely.

At the helm of this revolution is LEDVANCE, a new company that emerged from the lamps business unit of North American lighting leader OSRAM SYLVANIA.  Starting in July, LEDVANCE LLC will begin independent business operations and will predominately offer SYLVANIA branded products to North American customers.

The SYLVANIA product portfolio will cover traditional lighting, modern LED lamps and standardized over-the-counter luminaires, as well as connected and intelligent lighting solutions for smart applications.

Indoor and outdoor technology

The lighting leader recently launched its new portfolio of indoor and outdoor over-the-counter LED luminaires at the 2016 LIGHTFAIR trade show in San Diego.

“Our standardized LED luminaires can be easily installed in a variety of common business applications,” said Maren Bochinger, head of Professional Luminaires, US and Canada, LEDVANCE.  “Plus the benefits go beyond our trusted products.  They include the service and support customers have counted on for decades from their SYLVANIA team.”

Product highlights:

• SYLVANIA LEDVANCE Wall Pack Luminaires – LED alternatives to traditional HID or Incandescent fixtures, offering up to 80 per cent in energy savings. Perfect for illuminating building exteriors, outdoor corridors, walkways and stairwells, the Wall Pack series is offered in three housing styles:  an aesthetically pleasing slim design, cut-off version to minimize light pollution, and a non-cut-off version that provides superior vertical and downward illumination. All are available with optional photo control and offered in three wattages/lumen packages, ranging from 30W to 75W and 2700 to 8600 lumens.
