Lighting Layout Calculator

HE Williams Lighting provides a lighting layout calculator on their website.  Here a link and screenshot of the recessed architectural section of lighting.  It is somewhat intuitive, but feel free to call me if you would like to discuss how to best utilize this tool.

B-K Lighting Earns More Lighting Facts Labels
2012-04-12
The U.S. Department of Energy is giving the 'thumbs up' on 41 new Lighting Facts labels for B-K Lighting solid-state products including the Mini Micro™ Floodlight, Mini Micro™ Pathlight, Mini Micro™ Pendant, Chart Star™ and Yacht Star™.

Each Lighting Facts label summarizes a fixture’s solid-state performance data in five areas — lumens, efficacy, watts, correlated color temperature (CCT), and color rendering index (CRI)- as measured by the industry standard for testing photometric performance, IES LM-79-2008.

Once approved, each registered product is issued a Lighting Facts label.

Just like nutritional labels issued for food products, Lighting Facts labels give lighting professionals and designers direct access to information and facts needed to review performance claims.

Since becoming a partner in 2009, B-K Lighting has registered close to 200 products with the D.O.E. SSL Quality Advocates Program and is ranked as one of the top manufacturers worldwide.
That number will continue to grow as additional products are approved.

Lighting Facts Label information for BKSSL™ approved products is available online at www.bklighting.com and www.bkssl.com.

Camman Industries replicated some existing outdoor sconces at Meharry at my request.  Awesome job!  Here are some photos.  This was commissioned by a Nashville architect who will remain un-named until she gives me approval to publish.
