Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today introduced the industry’s first AC Direct step-dimming LED linear replacement for T8 and T12 fluorescent tubes at the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Convention 2014. Designed for use in commercial environments, the new LED Tube (L-Tube) offers an alternative to traditional fluorescent lamps to maximize energy efficiency and lower facility maintenance costs. It will be on display in booth #2112 at Chicago’s McCormick Place West from September 27-30.

Access Fixtures now provides a solution for property owners and contractors who are tired of replacing and maintaining wall packs and landscape lighting. The problem is they constantly are replacing glass lenses and lighting components that have been damaged by rocks, vehicles, or vandals. The solution: a vandal-resistant luminaire that withstands hits and still functions. These new luminaires were to put to the test in a series of videos by Access Fixtures that showcased the durability of the fixture. Access Fixtures will be at NECA 2014 where they will have the test fixture on display.

Access Fixtures is headed to NECA 2014 Chicago and will debut its newest vandal-resistant LED Landscape lighting luminaires. These luminaires were designed with property owners in mind to reduce maintenance on landscape fixtures. Access Fixtures vandal-resistant lights do not have a glass lens, leaving almost nothing that can break from rocks, lawnmowers, or vandalism. Available in traditional styles as well as more modern styles, these fixtures are great for lighting signs, buildings and large landscaped areas.
