Lutron Introduces New Stairwell Vandal-Resistant Fixture

Type:  Sponsor News  

Coopersburg, PA – Light control manufacturer Lutron Electronics is pleased to announce a vandal-resistant version of its wireless PowPak® Stairwell Fixture. The easy-to-install, tamper-proof fixture features a heavy-duty lens and hidden wireless control that will withstand high-abuse applications in public spaces.

 

Lutron PowPak Stairwell Fixtures work in conjunction with Radio Powr Savr™ wireless occupancy sensors to reduce lighting electricity use by automatically adjusting light output based on stairwell occupancy. The fixtures and sensors communicate via Lutron Clear Connect™ radio frequency technology, providing enhanced flexibility to determine occupancy sensor quantities, mounting configuration, and placement requirements per the stairwell design.
 
Fully assembled and ready to install, the new vandal-proof luminaire includes an RF receiver mounted within the fixture (accessible through the ballast cover) and a Lutron EcoSystem® dimming ballast. A digital dimming ballast allows lights to be dimmed to preset levels rather than rely on bi-level switching, resulting in a solution that saves energy without sacrificing lamp life.
 
  • Available in a 1’ x 2’ or 1’ x 4’ version
  • Standard Polycarbonate lens and tamper resistant screws
  • T8, T5-HE, T5-HO Lamp Options
  • Preprogrammed occupied and unoccupied light levels that are field-adjustable
  • Universal input voltage 120-277 V

  • Energy Savings – ability to save over 80% of lighting energy usage through high-end trim and occupancy sensing1
  • Simple Installation – wireless communication between devices via reliable Lutron Clear Connect radio frequency technology allows the occupancy sensor(s) to be mounted in the location that provides the maximum area of coverage with no need for additional wiring
  • High ROI – approximate payback of 1-3 years
  • Flexible – group multiple fixtures to a single occupancy sensor and/or multiple occupancy sensors to a single fixture
  • Meets codes and standards – ASHRAE 90.1 2012 and IgCC (International Green Construction Code)
