Lighting Science Group Launches Its High-Performance Forefront(TM) Site and Area
LED Lighting Product Line
Available with Company's Advanced PixelView(TM) Camera Motion Control System
SATELLITE BEACH, Fla., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Matching commercial
demand with sustainable LED lighting design, Lighting Science Group (LSCG)
announced today the launch of its Forefront(TM) product line. A full family of
architectural luminaires, the Forefront is available in area, flood, highbay,
pedestrian and wall -- each of which individually blends into the architectural
landscape it illuminates. Valued for its versatility, coordinated form and
unparalleled performance, the line also debuts Lighting Science Group's new
benchmark for outdoor control, its occupancy sensing technology PixelView(TM).
"Lighting Science Group engineers designed Forefront with designers in mind,"
said Jim Haworth, chairman and chief executive officer. "As a cohesive family of
products, the line offers infinite options and combinations to meet -- and
enhance -- any space's lighting requirements. Couple Forefront's adaptability
with LED lighting's ability to maximize energy savings, performance and thermal
management, architectural designers now have a go-to source for all their
illumination projects."
Each of the Forefront products -- area, flood, highbay, pedestrian and wall --
pairs power with performance. Forefront area offers six optical distributions and
delivers up to 32,000 lumens, making it the perfect one-for-one replacement of
HID fixtures from 100-750 watts at approximately half the energy usage. Forefront
flood features four unique optical distribution modules, with output ranges up to
23,000 lumens, providing focused lighting solutions for facade, sign, landscape
and architectural highlighting. Forefront highbay suits a wide range of
industrial applications -- including warehousing, schools, cold storage and
manufacturing facilities -- with three sizes and optical packages. Forefront
pedestrian enhances visibility in scale applications such as parks, building
entrances and streetscapes with outputs over 5,500 lumens. Forefront wall --
available in two sizes, each providing performance of a 400 watt HID system at
less than half the energy usage -- optimizes the LED source while preserving the
module's flexibility to outfit complex applications and diverse settings.
Going beyond just coordinated appearance, Lighting Science Group's world-class
team of scientists and engineers provided for the option of integrating the
Company's new PixelView occupancy control system directly into the product's
luminaires. Whereas typical exterior occupancy controls using Passive Infrared
(PIR) technology to detect motion can be severely diminished in hot or cold
environments, the PixelView Occupancy Control system relies on image sensing and
video processing. As such, Forefront's ability to detect and characterize motion
is unaffected by ambient conditions. Requiring no costly secondary wiring of
sensors outside of the luminaire or any remote software monitoring, PixelView
comes factory installed with the luminaire in standard offerings that will allow
it to dim to either 30% or 50% of its wattage in an unoccupied setting.
Furthermore, the PixelView control system provides an exceptional 360-degree
coverage zone of 4L X 3W mounting heights in applications up to 40 feet.
The new product line joins the Company's suite of products that have found
applications ranging from use in NASA outer space ventures to artistic designs
that span skyscraper silhouettes to everyday practical implementations for
American homes and businesses that save families and business owners significant
amounts of money on electricity bills. On the global stage, Lighting Science
Group has become synonymous with the ultra-efficient lighting revolution, and at
home the Company is most commonly viewed as the fulfillment of America's clean
technology promise.
