Commercial launch of OLED Lighting Products scheduled for LIGHTFAIR International 2011 Tradeshow and Conference ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI; “Company”), a market leader in innovative energy-efficient lighting and control solutions, has announced the commercial launch of two technologically advanced Organic LED (“OLED”) luminaires. This launch continues the Company’s commitment to provide the industry’s broadest and most diverse product portfolio using traditional, LED and leading-edge light sources. The new products, the Kindred™ and the Revel™, are engineered to deliver light in unique and interactive ways. The design capabilities of these new products exemplify how OLED light sources break traditional paradigms and create new possibilities for luminaires to customize an environment in distinctive ways. The Kindred and the Revel luminaires are both designed for indoor, ambient applications. The Kindred, engineered to provide a room with individualized canopies of light, is a contemporary-styled luminaire that blurs the lines between architecture and lighting. Developed in collaboration with lighting designers, it blends energy-efficiency, lighting quality and design elegance with a slim profile, providing the feel of a personalized lighting environment. It delivers excellent color rendering quality and over 3,000 glare-free lumens, making it suitable for indoor ambient applications in office, retail, hospitality and restaurant settings, as well as in architecturally-designed spaces. The Revel, inspired by the organic shapes of flowers, is a lighting system that gives designers the freedom to create lighting patterns tailored to their unique application. Offering the ability to add to the architectural elements of a ceiling while providing high-quality ambient lighting, the Revel breaks the traditional design pattern of grid-based luminaire layouts that has been used for decades. With high-quality color and brightness control, the Revel is a first-of-its-kind lighting system. Each Revel module delivers a discrete amount of light that can be positioned where light is needed. Using an innovative plug-in mounting, designers can configure clusters of Revel modules into architectural patterns. The Revel delivers an enhanced visual environment while supporting sustainability imperatives as a result of its flexible design capabilities and use of energy-efficient OLEDs. The Acuity Brands’ Kindred and Revel OLED luminaires will be on display at the LIGHTFAIR® International 2011 Tradeshow and Conference, booth #1801, held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia May 17-19, 2011. Product specifications, ordering information and pricing are available upon request.
