Lumenpulse Inc. has signed an agreement with Lutron Electronics, which is engaged in the lighting controls and energy management market. The agreement allows Lumenpulse to embed Lutron's EcoSystem technology directly into Lumenpulse's entire LED product line, both indoor and outdoor LED luminaires.
Lutron's EcoSystem is a commercial lighting control system that is comprised of digitally addressable dimming ballasts and LED drivers, controls, and environmental sensors. These components provide businesses with energy savings from 40 to 70%, while increasing space flexibility, improving occupant comfort and productivity, and reducing maintenance costs.
Under the agreement's Phase I, Lumenpulse will enable the major part of its award-winning portfolio -- including Lumenline, Lumenfacade and Lumenbeam -- to be EcoSystem-ready by March 2013. Until this agreement, EcoSystem has been principally available for interior fluorescent lighting. With the two companies working together, the EcoSystem solution can -- for the first time -- be applied to both outdoor and indoor lighting.
Phase II of the agreement will expand the relationship by making EcoSystem compatible with the remaining part of Lumenpulse's portfolio, thereby providing EcoSystem-ready options across all Lumenpulse product families to enable smart energy savings and continuing to accelerate the adoption of controllable LED lighting systems.
