July 6, 2009 — An innovative series of energy-efficient LED recessed down lights has been introduced by Nora Lighting for both new construction and renovations.

Availability is slated for mid-summer 2009 and three 120V models are featured: a 4-inch diameter aperture fixture (11W) and 5-inch and 6-inch diameter aperture fixtures (15W).

Incorporating Osram® 1.2W LEDS, the Nora 15W down light offers energy savings of more than 75 percent when compared with a 65W BR30 lamp and without the flicker or delay of compact fluorescents.

Designed for residential and light commercial installations, the fixtures integrate the warm white color of incandescent lamps with long-lasting, high-output LED technology. They are rated for 50,000 hours at 70 percent lumen maintenance.

Earth-friendly LED technology helps reduce a building’s carbon footprint by minimizing CO2 output and eliminating toxic mercury from the environment.

Nora LEDs provide illumination without projected heat, ultra violet or infrared rays, making these down lights ideal for heat-sensitive retail or market installations and residential use. All models are offered in 3000K and 4200K color temperatures with 86 CRI.

Exceeding industry standards, the internal high-reflectance luminance system produces light output that is among the highest available. The scientifically-designed, triple-laminated lens diffuses the LED image to provide high lumen output, standard on all models.

An advanced thermal management design ensures long life for both the LED module and the driver, which is located on the j-box for easy maintenance.

Nora LEDs are dimmable to one percent using most economical two-wire dimmers and the cUL-recognized dimmable driver is specifically designed for optimum LED performance.

All units are airtight (ASTM-283) and rated for use in insulated ceilings. Featuring a modular design, the LED housing is first installed and then finished with trim that incorporates the LED unit.

Standard trim includes a self-flanged die cast ring. Reflectors are offered in white or platinum diffused and baffles are available in white, black or platinum diffused. All fixtures have a 3-year warranty and are cUL listed.

Nora Lighting manufactures one of the industry’s most comprehensive lines of interior lighting products for commercial, retail, hospitality, healthcare, educational and residential installations. The product line includes track and rail systems, recessed lighting, multiple lighting systems, under cabinet and an expanding series of accent lights.
