Two of our team members recently visited the Inter-Lux facilities down in Baltimore with SDA Lighting. We were impressed with their range of product and had an excellent time with the presentation crew! Everyone in the office sector and the factory facility were working enthusiastically as a team and it seemed like a very supportive work culture. Here’s a brief look at what we learned about the many brands Inter-Lux has to offer!
WHITEGOODS LINEAR:
Offered in 20(mm), 60, and 100 families.
Quick ship products (noted on the website) have 2-3weeks max shipping;
Projects needing a quick turnaround time are offered housings shipped to the site for installation ahead of finalizing the lengths. The housing is field-cuttable, (comes in 8ft sections), measurements taken onsite once installed, and then they send the gear tray (shipped in 3 to 4 weeks).
Linear lights offer an easy to mount integral magnet system! Attaches to any magnetic surface, including the Whitegoods regressed housing spec. Makes for a quick installation and for easy maintenance.
Louver options available for the flat lens options (not the grazer).
The Opaque finish looked interesting! Softening the light without killing the output.
Nice wallwasher, semi-recessed with the micro prismatic lens.
A fully recessed Wallwasher is also available but requires a deeper recessing depth of 1.25" aperture.
Tunable is available with all linear 18K to 30K.
Narrow spot optics offered with their perimeter lens, very nice light pushing 10 - 20FT up.
20 Series Linear Coves:
Cove family, either Box Cove or EdgeLess Cove. They have the same optic 120 degree distribution - the knife edge is slightly more quiet compared to the box cove installation.
The mini version cove is for the remote driver light.
Larger size, 2.4” aperture linear family
Offers a regressed extrusion with linear light with micro-prismatic lens
They presented the quietest grazing fixture with shield and individual optic we have seen so far!
Perimeter light: The same extrusion of the grazer just changed the light engine inside
WHITEGOODS RECESSED:
Interesting retrofit, not requiring j-box, flushed flat lens option - Round and square plaster ring (one plaster ring adaptable for both round and square)
Very interesting screw system for focusing - Zoom optic available as an option - Magnetic trim for easy back access.
Quantum: A downlight, with a deep optics compartment with soft and refined lines.
Orma Recessed: Coming on 2023 Q2 - lead time is reduced from 4-6 weeks to 3 weeks - will be manufactured here in the US
Orma uplight and Orma downlight: 2 different housing for ceiling and ground - The ceiling version has mounting clips for easy installation.
We looked at the 3-degree optic, 21-watt shooting light up to 30 meters!
Eyelet: Comes in round and square. The tiniest, powerful indoor and outdoor light! Great for highlighting landscape features and small architectural details. Snoot, half shield. We looked at the 1W with 150 delivered lm.
OUTDOOR Bollards:
Ryo: A quiet path light with downward distribution, washing the ground. Great for locations where light pollution is a concern. Available in 3 heights.
Peak: Suitable for urban public spaces. Also available with L shape bracket head for more district lighting. It has frosted glass, which makes it comfortable to look. Available in 14” and 30” height. There is a pole version also for parking and walkway lighting.
Apache: This was a different looking path lighting! A curvy design body with the LED located at the upper part, facing downwards to create an asymmetric distribution. Great glare control with a soft diffused distribution. Architects would like the look of this fixture!
Bob: The cylinder shape fixture with 360-degree distribution on top. Suitable for general illumination for landscapes and walkways. THis is also available in two heights.
We also looked at their decorative and architectural landscape light line, HABITAT, offering many battery-powered options!
