AR Series LED Architectural Troffer
Manufacturer: Cree
Cree's new AR Series LED Architectural Troffer distributes high-quality light with efficacy of 100 lumens per watt and a 33% energy savings versus standard T8 fluorescents. Its flush-mount white housing allows the AR Series to blend seamlessly into almost any ceiling design and softly illuminate a space through highly diffused performance optics. The troffers are available in two models and a range of color temperatures to match existing fluorescent technologies (3,500K and 4,000K). The series supports dimming down to 5% with industry-standard 0'10V controls.

Maestro C·L Occupancy Sensor Dimmer
Manufacturer: Lutron
Lutron has combined two signature technologies to create one new product. The Maestro can dim all energy-efficient light sources (dimmable LEDs, dimmable CFLs, and incandescent), and it is also an occupancy sensor. C·L dimmers utilize High Efficiency Discharge (HED) technology, which improves the dimming performance of dimmable CFLs and LEDS by keeping the lights on as they are dimmed, making sure lights turn on at all levels, eliminating or reducing excessive flicker, and keeping lights on even with line-voltage fluctuations.

Warm Glow Dimming
Manufacturer: USAI Lighting
Offering a customizable LED color palette within a range of 2,200K to 3,500K, USAI Lighting's patent-pending Warm Glow Dimming technology is now available for the BeveLED 2.0 and BeveLED Mini downlight families. Utilizing the company's proprietary algorithm and circuitry, Warm Glow Dimming precisely mirrors the black body curve of a standard incandescent when dimmed from 2,700K or 3,000K down to 2,200K, providing incandescent-like warmth to any space.
