Henschel-Steinau Introduces LumaNEXT, the Next Generation Retail Lighting Solution

    ALLENDALE, NJ, April 08, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- LumaNEXT is a patent-pending, plug-and-play, low voltage LED illumination system that delivers value to retailers in multiple ways, including simplified installation and maintenance, improved lighting, energy efficiency, intelligent sensors for daylight harvesting, analytics and substantial savings. Centralized Power Stations connected to control devices that can be strategically located throughout a store to deliver 24 Volt DC current to as many as two-dozen system devices. These may include overhead solid state lighting, vertical graphic banner luminaires, suspended illuminated signs, illuminated perimeter wall displays, track lighting, and other back-lit merchandising displays.

LED ILLUMINATION WITH AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE
Patty Pellegrin, Director of Marketing for Henschel-Steinau commented, "LumaNEXT is the first low voltage illumination solution that requires no transformer or ballast at the fixture level, streamlining installation and significantly reducing the need for costly, periodic maintenance. Plus, the system features a future-proof open architecture that enables system expansion and software updates." When compared to other LED lighting solutions, LumaNEXT can reduce operating costs associated with lighting by 25% or more.

SUPERIOR QUALITY LIGHT AND A MUCH "GREENER" BOTTOM LINE
LumaNEXT represents the highest quality engineering and construction in illumination. Troffers feature a proprietary diffusor lens, and special coatings by White Optics produce greater reflectivity to help create a pure, natural light for the shopping environment, which has been attributed to increased sales. LumaNEXT also reduces utility consumption by up to 75%, achieving substantially lower energy costs when compared to traditional lighting systems.

SOLAR COMPATIBILITY AND TITLE 24 COMPLIANT
LumaNEXT is solar power compatible with an integrated sensor option available for daylight harvesting and energy conservation. Its lighting control devices, luminaires, and system components, fully comply with the applicable requirements of Title 24 Section 110.9 of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non-Residential Buildings.

"SMART ANALYTICS" FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
HS Illumination recently integrated smart sensor technology for real-time actionable data reporting on the system and its performances from Enlighted , the world's most advanced digital sensor and analytics platform for smarter buildings. With this addition, light intensity within departments can be controlled, ambient light and temperature can be measured, and fixture outages and abnormal spikes in energy consumption are reported. Retailers also have the ability to analyze consumer foot traffic and shopping patterns, while setting brightness and energy output based on time of day to reduce energy use and associated energy costs.

For over 55 years, Henschel-Steinau has successfully developed and introduced innovative solutions that improve both the shopper and retailer experience. Pellegrin comments, "The introduction of LumaNEXT is a natural extension of our company's mission to create impactful solutions for our retailer partners.
