LED Bollard for Pathway Lighting
The PathMaster Composite LED Bollard is an outdoor architectural fixture designed to provide energy-efficient illumination of walkways, decks, sidewalks and landscape areas for normal and emergency use. Incorporating LED technology, each light engine utilizes three high-performance, long-life, low-maintenance white LEDs for illumination and can be applied from one to all four sides of the bollard to maximize path of egress as needed. The bollard can be readily affixed by an anchor base, lag bolts or direct burial. The PathMaster Power System provides normal and emergency power support. The bollard is fabricated from fiberglass-reinforced polymers. All exposed hardware is stainless steel and the light engines are constructed of die-cast aluminum. Standard finishes include black, bronze and white. Custom finishes are also available.

Electronic Transformers Meet New UL Standard
Smart Transformers meet the new UL2108 standard for abnormal short-circuit protection. The older 1598 safety standard did not require abnormal short-circuit protection, even though most shorts occurring in low-voltage systems such as monorail and puck lighting are abnormal. The transformers are designed to be user-friendly and incorporate abnormal short-circuit protection, troubleshooting diagnostics and full-scale dimming. The manufacturer guarantees a minimum of eight hours safe operation under the duress of a short circuit. This provides sufficient time to troubleshoot the installation without having to replace the transformer. Other features include small size, full-scale dimming on a load as low as 25 percent, silent operation, an auto-reset feature, thermal overload protection and soft-start technology to extend lamp life.

Occupancy Sensor Features Versatile Control Options
The redesigned Decora Manual-ON Occupancy Sensor adds to the control capabilities of an earlier model with its higher 15A rating and the ability to interoperate with the company's other lighting controls. Like the IPP10, once manually switched “on,” the IPP15 monitors a room or area for occupancy and automatically switches lighting “off” once it no longer detects occupancy. Complying with California Title 24 requirements, the IPP15 not only functions as a single-pole occupancy sensor, but also offers true three-way and multi-location control capabilities. The sensor is designed for bathrooms, hallways, garages, basements, dining rooms, utility rooms or any area of the home where residents may forget to switch lights off.

Miniature Recessed Linear Slot Fluorescent System
GRüV is a recessed linear slot lighting system that provides specifiers and designers with a smaller scale, more architecturally pleasing palette of lighting solutions for the most discriminating environments. The fixture's three-inch aperture provides general lighting that's both effective and visually appealing. Utilizing the compact T5 or T5 High Output fluorescent lamps, staggered up to 6 inches to reduce socket shadow in a single- or two-light profile, GRüV provides a combination of scale, energy-efficiency and performance in an architectural recessed linear fixture. GRüV is perfect for a wide range of commercial applications and is particularly well suited to office environments including open offices, conference rooms and individual offices. Available for use in gypsum board and slot and t-grid ceilings, the luminaires are offered in varying run-lengths and lamp-configurations to meet specifier needs. Fixtures can be continuously row-mounted using a drawer latching system that provides easy and precise joining of units.

Lighting Fixtures Provide Energy Savings and Architectural Styling
The EnergyMax Intersect is a two lamp, energy-efficient, louvered luminaire designed to provide full distribution and energy savings in a crisp new look. Intersect is a true louvered system that provides the same foot candles on the work surface as parabolics while at the same time redirecting more light on the walls to greatly reduce the cave effect produced by parabolics. While traditional three-lamp parabolics use 85W of power, the EnergyMax Intersect's savings occur without sacrificing light levels. EnergyMax Intersect tuned system uses only 66W of power, reducing energy usage by 22 percent. The fixture offers a slightly lower light output, but with greater energy savings. By employing a 28W T8 lamp, Intersect Plus uses only 55W of power for a 35 percent reduction in energy consumption.
