This year’s LightFair International (LFI) was held on June 1^st to 5^th in the Las Vegas Convention Center, and is still recognized as the largest annual commercial and architectural lighting trade show in the world.  The hundreds of lighting manufacturers, suppliers and designers who took part in theis year’s LightFair showed the latest tendencies in the world of lighting, as well as held educational courses for the visitors, gave talks and showed their latest cutting edge products.

One notable new product which was presented at this year’s LightFair were the latest LED down light retrofits by TerraLUX.  Their new products are developed and produced to replace the older pin-based CFLs used for commercial down lights.

The latest DR Series LED down lights by the giant lighting producer offer a quick return of the investment for customers, by offering an energy efficacy of more than 85 lumens per watt, and energy saving of up to 75% by the new LED down light retrofits.

Also, the latest products eliminate the need of replacement of bulb and ballast in commercial buildings, which additionally cuts down from maintenance costs.

The DR Series UL LED down light retrofits can be used for 5-10 inch round or square fixtures.  They offer an output of 900 to 3400 lumens of light.  The new LED down light retrofits also can be completed with battery backup as well as dimming options.

The latest DR Series which received quite a bit of attention at LightFair 2014 were designed as improved alternatives and replacements of the traditional pin-based CFL and LED down lights.

The company claims that the mechanical design of its latest product allows for the upgrade to be performed easily and quickly in just several minutes.  And also, according to TerraLUX, the LED down light retrofits have almost the same cost of the bulb and ballast replacement, and yet have a far better color quality and longer lifetime.  This means, that owners of buildings should be able to get their investment in the new retrofits back in just 18 months after purchasing them and replacing their old ones.

The new DR Series down lights are actually rated as 24x7 installations, and can maintain L70 for more than 60,000 hours, plus they come with a 5 year warranty.  They are also equipped with the LEDSense technology for thermal management which allows for the protection of the LED fixture even in the warmest environment.
