Amerlux Adds Sensors to Grüv 1.5 Architectural LED Linear Lighting Family

Amerlux has re-introduced the Grüv 1.5” LED family featuring advanced lighting sensors controls.

“We are very excited to re-introduce Grüv 1.5 family LED lighting fixtures with built-in advanced smart sensors supported by a state of the art analytics platform,” says Chuck Campagna, Amerlux CEO/president. “Our customers have the ability to utilize control-embedded lighting that’s smart, code-compliant, and ahead of the technology curve.”

The new sensors are engineered with secure data-rich architecture that provides unparalleled insights around the clock while helping to achieve sustainability goals and reducing costs, say company officials. The controls offer motion and photometric sensors, dimming capabilities and data collection. 

Smart customized controls help management professionals reduce lighting and energy costs with an extremely impressive ROI of up to 80 percent for public buildings, without compromising comfort. A seamless, dense data cloud-based network collects, aggregates and communicates detailed information wirelessly on building occupancy and performance, environmental conditions, ambient light levels, temperature and energy consumption. The system has the potential to extend savings to HVAC, real-time demand response, security and safety systems.

Incorporating this new sensor into the Gruv 1.5” does not take away from its clean lines, discreet styling or performance. It enhances it and gives the end user a complete package. The Grüv 1.5'' LED can still climb walls, cross ceilings and everywhere.

Grüv 1.5” features components and a miniature aperture that allow designers to create recessed patterns running on walls and over ceilings, and then transition smoothly to open ceilings. Available at 5w or 10w per foot, the luminaires deliver a high output with up to 650 lumens per foot and a significant efficacy at 73 lumens per watt. Custom sized lengths are available to meet designers’ exact specifications. Four CCTs are available: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K.

“Grüv 1.5 provides robust illumination while offering clean, understated aesthetics and design continuity from discreet linear profiles,” adds Campagna. “This special combination of unobtrusive light sourcing is available with flexible mounting capabilities, solid performance, high-quality extruded materials and superior LED technology and drivers.”

Offered with flanged or trimless styles, Grüv 1.5” can be recessed in ceilings or walls while performing at high levels in gypsum board, Armstrong TechZone, USG Logix, Slot and T-grid ceilings or J-mold for all configurations. The luminaires can be individual or continuous row-mounted using a drawer latching system that provides easy and precise joining of units for straight runs, wall runs for longer runs with J channels, and in T- or L-shaped patterns.

Grüv is now available with the new Standard Plus, a wall-to-wall innovation featuring a field-customizable bracket system. The 6” Standard Plus option for the Grüv family of recessed slot luminaires is engineered to easily install and is field-cuttable to adapt to the imprecise and inconsistent distances between walls within the same space. Standard Plus installs optimally with Grüv 1.5” LED, Grüv Mini Recessed, Grüv 4” Recessed Linear, and Grüv 6” High Efficiency Recessed Linear.

Options include various accessories and more than 200 durable powder coat painted finishes, to complement nearly any design scheme.
