Designed for 1-to-1 replacements of traditional lighting fixtures and cost conscious applications, the Lusio Essentials Bay Series includes models that use up to 60% less energy than traditional metal halide and fluorescent fixtures while delivering high lumens and high efficacies. Available in six different models that deliver from approximately 6,000 to 36,000 lumens and efficacies of 92 to 103 lumens per watt, Lusio Essentials Bay Series fixtures are fully controllable and dimmable with broad, agnostic support of energy saving building and third party daylighting and occupancy sensing control systems. With paybacks in as little as two years, little to no maintenance requirements and long lifetimes, the Lusio Essentials Bay Series is the most cost effective solution for one-for-one replacement of fluorescent and HID fixtures.

Engineered to deliver unparalleled optical performance at varied mounting heights, the Lusio Pro-Optics Series is built for challenging lighting applications including dry, damp and wet environments from cold-storage to high-ambient installations. Five light distributions (high bay, high bay narrow, low bay medium, low bay wide, or aisle lighter) provide project specific optics with superior glare control in mounting heights from 10-60 feet while maximizing light output and efficiency. In addition to a variety of models and mounting methods, Lusio Pro-Optics is available in several CCT/CRI configurations to meet lighting applications ranging from showrooms, data rooms, manufacturing, convention centers to open air environments such as aircraft hangers. All Lusio Pro-Optics fixtures are built with premium LEDs, aluminum thermal management materials and optical grade lenses with options for enclosed or sealed fixture applications.

By providing quality construction, versatility, and an industry leading 7-year warranty on all its fixtures, Lusio applications have expanded worldwide to include installations such as Castrucci Ford (Cincinnati, OH), Bethel University (McKenzie, TN), National Sports Center (Minneapolis, MN), Qatar National Convention Centre (Doha, Qatar), Water Works (Cincinnati, OH), and CED Warehouse (Salt Lake City, UT).

Lusio LED Fixtures at the New Johnson County (KS) Sheriff's Office Criminalistics Laboratory

Innovative Lusio LED high bay fixtures deliver superior quality of light and substantial energy savings

Overland Park, Kansas – May 15, 2012 – Lusio Solid-State Lighting today announced the installation of Lusio SSL fixtures at the new Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Criminalistics Laboratory (JCCL) located in Olathe, KS.

Completed this spring, the new 62,500 square foot facility is expected to achieve LEED Platinum certification by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), the highest rating a building can achieve under the council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.  LEED certification is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance sustainable buildings.

“A crime lab requires very specialized lighting,” said Allen Hamm, Assistant Director of the JCCL.  “The Lusio LED fixtures deliver high footcandles and wide distributions to effectively cover large work spaces.  Lusio also delivers substantial energy savings and reduced maintenance costs, which played an integral role in the design of the new facility.”

The new state-of-the-art, two-story building features nine laboratories and is approximately four times the size of the crime lab that operated in Mission, KS since 1974.

 Overland Park, Kansas – May 3, 2012 – Lusio Solid-State Lighting’s increased depth of product offerings coupled with corporate initiatives to reduce energy consumption  has resulted in growing demand  for  Lusio LED fixtures in applications such as warehouses, laboratories, cold storage facilities, high ceiling commercial spaces, manufacturing facilities, convention centers, and retail and showroom areas.

Earlier this year Lusio Solid-State Lighting announced the broad release of its newest line of fixtures, the Lusio Essentials Bay Series.  Designed for cost conscious applications, the Lusio Essentials Bay Series includes models that use up to 60% less energy than traditional metal halide and fluorescent fixtures while delivering high lumens and high efficacies.

Combined with the Lusio Pro-Optics Series released in December 2010, Lusio Solid-State Lighting has delivered approximately 100 million lumens worth of its LED high bay products, enough to light about 7 million square feet of commercial and industrial space at typical footcandle levels. Additionally, the Lusio fixtures will save its customers an estimated 14,722 kilowatt hours (kWh) or 10.2 metric tons of carbon compared to traditional fluorescent or HID fixtures.

Demand for Lusio Products In Step with Larger Industry Trend

According to the Department of Energy’s report Energy Savings Potential of Solid-State Lighting in General Illumination Applications (January 2012), LED lighting in general illumination applications has the potential to reduce U.S. lighting energy consumption by nearly one half.  The report forecasts the energy savings potential of LED white light sources as compared to conventional white light sources (i.e., incandescent, halogen, fluorescent and high intensity discharge). During the 20-year analysis period (2010–2030), the cumulative energy savings is estimated to be 2,700 terawatt-hours, representing approximately $250 billion at today’s energy prices. Assum­ing the electric power plant generating mix is held constant over the next two decades, these savings would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,800 million metric tons of carbon.

“We’re thrilled with the growth we’ve seen and our ability to provide a superior high bay lighting option for any commercial or industrial lighting application, including those where budget is a driving factor,” said Tom Stafford, President and CEO of Lusio Solid-State Lighting. “Growing demand clearly exists for flexible, controllable LED lighting solutions with fast paybacks, and that’s exactly what we deliver.”
