Task/Ambient LED Lighting from a Single Fixture

The Lighting Quotient, a U.S. manufacturer of energy efficient lighting fixtures, announced the launch of its newest product, an intelligent Task/Ambient LED luminaire with VESA mounting called the L805, part of the tambient family.

The L805 is an intelligent LED luminaire that provides both task lighting and ambient lighting from a single fixture and mounts to all VESA standard monitor and display mounting devices, making it an excellent lighting solution for work spaces. It is compatible with a variety of auxiliary controls including desk mounted occupancy sensors.

The L805 lighting fixture joins several energy saving, eco-friendly products offered in the tambient family of The Lighting Quotient products. Representing a paradigm shift in lighting design practice, tambient consolidates two-component lighting systems into a single luminaire, eliminating the need for overhead lighting.

The L805 is the only Title 24 compliant all-in-one task/ambient luminaire. Title 24 is a California state law that takes effect on July 1, 2014 and requires all lighting to be dimmable and have vacancy sensors, among other things.

The L805 has two modes of operation – “private office mode” and “open office mode.” Private mode is used for private offices and the user has full control of both the task and ambient lights. Open office mode is used for open plan offices where the user has control of the task light only and the ambient lighting portions of multiple fixtures are controlled together using room controls.

Additional unique features of the product include LED end-of-life notification, built-in standby and override timers, plug-and-play connections for wireless daylight and demand response dimming, occupancy sensors that dim the fixture when the workstation is vacated.

As an added benefit, each tambient L805 comes standard with advanced push-button programming features for task tuning in the field. This allows designers and facility managers to fine-tune the lighting power density based on occupant densities and to adjust the luminaire energy consumption and output for specific workplace applications.
