The resultingphotometric distributionfills in above the adjacentluminaire to provide even ceilingillumination in largerareas. It is designed for optimalperformance from singleT5HO lamps.The first high bay designedto use 80-W T5HO lamps isavailable from Day-BriteLighting. The Industra5 FTVHigh Bay luminaire features adeep parabolic reflector, andthe louvered housing designcontrols heat to maximize lightoutput. In addition to havingthe first 59.5-in., 80-W, fourlampversion, a 54-W T5HO47.75-in. style is available inthe series.Accepted this year, as a newlamp and ballast system wasthe Philips “Mini” WhiteSONin both 50 and 100 watt versions.Halo, a Cooper LightingCompany, has designed anew track product using boththe 50 and 100-W T6 lamps.This Power-Trac system featuresextruded aluminumhousing for the electronic ballastand a die cast aluminumlamp holder with a narrowflood distribution.The moiré effect is createdby superimposing a repetitivedesign, such as a grid, on thesame or different design inorder to produce a pattern distinctfrom its components.Utilizing this technique todesign an interactive luminaire,Shaper, a Cooper LightingCompany, has introduced “TheRadio Sconce.” This ADA compliantluminaire has an acryliclayer made of red, green andblue squares placed in front ofa compact fluorescent source.Two aluminum perforateddiscs are put over the acrylicsheet and one disc can bemechanically moved to createmultiple effects.cOnfIdENTiAl
