Downtown Block Gets Makeover To Help Promote The Arts

Downtown Block Gets Makeover To Help Promote The Arts ( News Channel Five Video Report)

Starting next week the block of 5th Avenue North, between Church and Union Streets, will get a makeover that will highlight the area as an arts district.

This is being designed by Hawkins Partners landscape architects.  Great project.  I am supplying the catenary fixture and the LED curtain lighting.

Color Kinetics at the Nashville Bridge Company

This is the Nabrico Building in the Cumberland Park area, Nashville.  The blue tower is lighted by Philips Color Kinetics (CK) LEDs.

We can light very tall stuff with CK LEDs as well.  The below link is to the Color Kinetics website showing the CN Tower in Toronto.  I think the downtown architecture of Nashville lends itself to some interesting possibilities and I will update as more come online.

LED Emergency Sconce

For the electrical engineering community here in Nashville and middle Tennessee, this is a great emergency LED sconce.  I have ordered a sample for TLC Engineers who asked to see the fixture and can bring it for a demonstration to anyone else who would like to see it...  thank you.

• The emergency components are completely integral to the luminaire.
• Emergency lighting is provided for a 90 minute period in the event of power loss.
• The 121-EM is suitable for use in ambient temperature conditions from 40°C (104°F) maximum to -10°C (14°F) minimum.
• Available wattages include 35 watt and 50 watt.
• In order to provide speed to market, the 121-EM is based on 121 generation 1 technology. It is available with Wide Throw (WT), Forward Throw (FT) and Medium Throw (MT) optics. Note: luminaires with MT optics include a diffuse lens.
• 121-EM with FT and WT optics are provided with a clear glass lens for a similar outward appearance to the recently announced 121-Generation 2 sconce family.
• 121-EM sconces with MT optics are provided with a diffuse lens. For a similar outward appearance, simply specify the DL (diffuse lens) option on 121-Generation 2 luminaires for a closer match to the 121-EM with MT optics.

Each 121-EM wall sconce includes a combination indicator light and test switch located in the door frame center, near the wall.

Beta Calco Product of the Month

Beta Calco Xacara

There are a bunch of iterations of this fixture that can be found in the below link.  I really like this fixture in terms of quality, function, and cost.  The larger versions are good for general lighting and all in LED.  I have a sample of this fixture as well.  If interested, give me a call and I will bring it by!
