Lighting Innovation: From Edison to PMC Lighting

By | News, Uncategorized | No Comments

PMC Lighting prides itself on bringing innovative, fresh ideas to life within the lighting industry. 

With the technological advances of lighting that have taken place in the 140 years since Thomas Edison’s first successful incandescent light bulb prototype in 1879, we would say choices in lighting have become endless. The PMC Lighting catalog certainly reflects and represents the advances in technology and design.

The Power to Fight Germs

PMC Lighting’s pūr-led™ collection adds the power of Vital Vio’s patented VioSafe® White Light Disinfection® technology to clean, modern, and stylish luminaires. It is now possible to fight germs by simply turning on a light switch. This technology has been proven both safe and effective in killing gram negative and gram positive bacteria, bacterial endospores, yeast, mold, and fungi. And because we can create a Build-2-Spec fixture, you will achieve the perfect blend of design form and disinfecting function for any room or structure. 

The Power To Change Color

Set the mood, enhance energy, and add style with PMC’s Aura Tunable Solutions. Aura brings the ability to harness the power and intensity of light and color to create a vibrant atmosphere or, conversely, a relaxing and peaceful setting. Lighting in offices or schools can be used to enhance the mood, focus, and performance of both employees and students. Aura Tunable Solutions offers you the control to adjust the color and intensity of light in any space. 

Applications with Aura include highlighting the architectural features of buildings, creating a memorable experience for spectators at sporting venues, or elevating the shopping experience for consumers. The uses for tunable lighting are varied and PMC Lighting has solutions that can be implemented into just about every one of our luminaires with LED sources. Whether you choose linear or downlights, curved or troffers, PMC Lighting has the fixture and light sources to address both your tunable and design needs.  

The Power to Light on a Curve

PMC Lighting’s ArcX Collection provides lighting designers the capability to design non-linear lighting. Curved on the horizontal plane, ArcX allows construction of a myriad of system contours and shapes, making each lighting application and the space it illuminates truly unique. Our ArcX Collection affords designers a realm of possibilities with fixtures limited only by creative imagination. 

The Power of LED Lighting

LED lighting is much more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, has a much longer lifespan than other options, and its brightness and color can be adjusted. In addition, LED lights need no ‘warm-up’ period and light can be aimed in any direction. LEDs cause no color wash-out making them ideal for displays and retail applications. Since LEDs contain no mercury or other hazardous substances, they are an environmentally friendly lighting option. 

As technology continues to evolve and new innovations are introduced, PMC Lighting is committed to be at the forefront of offering new and exciting options to our product line.

Tunable Solutions: Customizing Lighting

By | News | No Comments

The modern way of lighting a building or public space is customized…in fact we spoke about customized shapes and curved lighting in last month’s blog. Now we take a look at how to go about customizing light’s temperature and color to suit a space or application.

How often do you think of the power of light? We don’t mean the power of just flipping a switch to illuminate a room. But how the temperature, color, and brightness of light influences daily life.

Customizing Brightness and White Light Color Temperature

Science shows that light affects us on a myriad of levels. From energy levels to mood to productivity, light plays a part. Since our busy lives can mean that we are often not outside and exposed to natural light, having lighting that can be adjusted to mimic daylight and the sun’s daily progression can be beneficial to those who work indoors. This is also beneficial in school settings where light can keep students engaged and attentive throughout the school day.

A recent example of our work being used for this purpose is in the Willie Ortiz State Office Building in Albuquerque, NM. The repurposed basement of the office building would allow for no windows or natural light. We engineered a solution that created a hybrid solution of task lighting above centrally located workstations and perimeter cove lighting simulating clerestory skylights to give the effect of access to the outdoors.

Customizing Color

Light in every color of the rainbow spectrum can be produced, as well as shades of white light: cool white to warm white…and everything in between. LED technology allows these colors to be adjusted manually, or continuously using specialized controls.

One of the projects that PMC Lighting’s Nelio fixtures were installed in is the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, UT. Our high-efficiency fixtures were chosen because the whole spectrum could illuminate the ceiling and these color effects were also visible from outside of the building. A remote touch screen controls the changes to up-light colors. Operators can change the colors at any time. This color-changing technology added fun and a new dimension for attendees of events in the arena.

Below we have included some images of our color changing RGBW via DMX Controls at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana.
