Nora Lighting introduces Moonglow, a collection of softly lighted
pendants designed for hospitality, commercial and residential installations.
Featuring a variety of styles, finishes and sizes, the Moonglow pendants cast
a warm glow over tabletops, lounge areas or retail islands. The Cocoon and
Open Pond pendants add an accent to a trendy environment, while the Beaded
shade and Feather fixture fit well with traditional interiors. The pendants are
available in five different lamp sources: GU24 self-ballasting compact fluorescent
(13 watts to 26 watts); low voltage bi-pin (50 watts); and line voltage with
a G9 base (40 watts), E12 candelabra base (60 watts) and E26 medium base A19 (100 watts). www.noralighting.com
Photoprotective Technologies, Inc.’s Mel-Lumen CFL with melanin is a replacement
for traditional CFLs. Like UV, high-energy visible light (HEV) also causes glare and damage to
the eyes and skin. The Mel-Lumen CFL has a new polymer-coating that eliminates all of the UV,
significant reduces the HEV and selectively filtrates light (melanin filters the wavelengths of
light roughly in proportion to their ability to cause eye damage, skin damage and glare). Benefits
include less eyestrain and glare from reflections; less risk of skin and eye damage resulting
from UV and HEV light; and increased ability to perceive colors in the lighted environment.

Sun Valley Lighting’s turn-of-the-century-style streetlights now feature new VLED Optical
Modules. The VLED Modules, featuring Philips/Lumileds Luxeon Rebel emitters, deliver fullspectrum
illumination while minimizing light pollution, trespass and glare. The VLED Module
reflector-prisms use the full output of each LED and feature 64 emitters (75 system watts), 80
emitters (94 system watts) or 120 emitters (141 system watts). They are precisely oriented to produce
Type II, Type III, Type IV and Type V-Sq. IES light distribution patterns. The LED driver operates
with input voltages from 120 to 277V (50/60 Hz) and is independently sealed and UL-listed
for wet locations. Sun Valley Lighting offers a varied and versatile collection of traditional-styled
luminaires with VLED modules. www.usaltg.com
Litetronics has introduced 11-W BR30 Micro-Brite cold-cathode lamps. The lamps generate
450 lumens to replace a 50-W incandescent bulb in recessed cans and track lights and dim
down to 5 percent of light output on standard dimmers. They work on standard dimmers, making
them ideal for restaurants and cinemas that use dimming circuits. The lamp is available in
two color temperatures: 2,250K and 2,850K. www.litetronics.com
