Coopersburg, PA (June 2, 2014) –
Lutron
Electronics, the leader in energy-saving, wireless lighting and shade
control, today announced expanded use of its embedded
EcoSystem LED technology. “EcoSystem-enabled” is
synonymous with intelligent, guaranteed-compatible, digital fixture control, and
is available in a growing number of LED products throughout the lighting
industry.
In the next year, GE Lighting plans to grow its portfolio of
leading LED fixtures by launching a selection of EcoSystem-enabled models. This
move will allow direct control of their fixtures from any EcoSystem-compatible
control without the need for interfaces or additional hardware.
“Embedding the Lutron chip technology into our new LED fixtures provides
customers with reliable LED control by enabling direct communication between our
fixtures and Lutron’s EcoSystem dimming control systems. The industry is
experiencing rapid change, and by aligning with Lutron, we can offer our
customers an integrated solution and a reliable control option that ensures
compatibility between the fixture and the control system,” said Jerry Duffy,
General Manager, Global Product Management, GE Lighting.
Lutron
EcoSystem technology will also be incorporated into Lumenetix araya® LED
modules, which uniquely offers separate control of color temperature and color
intensity. These modules will be available in fixtures from a variety of
different OEM manufacturers.
These new offerings add to the growing list
of alliances with other respected industry LED technology innovators such as
Cree, Lumenpulse and Lunera, which previously added embedded EcoSystem products
to their portfolios.
“By adding GE and Lumenetix to our existing roster
of embedded EcoSystem alliances, we are offering lighting designers, specifiers,
and end users an even wider variety of products from which to choose. Knowing
that these solutions offer guaranteed compatibility backed by Lutron alleviates
much of the uncertainty that customers may experience when controlling LEDs,”
explained Mark Jenner, Director of New Business Alliances at Lutron.
