Replace traditional wallpacks with LED. Same footprint. Better performance

Upgrading to LED is clean and simple. Wallpacks often leave an unsightly wall stain behind during replacement.Replace the old wallpack with the SLIM and you'll never know there was anything else there.

Medium and large SLIM wallpacks were designed to replace RAB HID wallpacks, both in size and footprint template, so upgrading to LED is easy and seamless. With up to 320W MH equivalency and 78 LPW, SLIM delivers the efficiency you want in LED. Get further savings with energy rebates.

High wattage SLIM wallpacks with glare-reducing microprismatic diffusion lens are available in standard or full cutoff versions which meets dark-sky requirements.

Hinged wiring access, bubble level for mounting and conduit entry from the back, sides and top make installation a snap. The IP65 rated SLIM's external gasket and wall standoffs have been designed to create an airtight seal, keeping water out of the fixture.

The unique design of the tight-lock gasket ensures no water or environmental elements will ever get inside the SLIM.

Cree Announces Industry’s Highest-Efficacy LED Downlight

Cree introduces the LR6-10L six-inch LED downlight delivering 1000 lumens of exceptional 90+ CRI light while achieving 90 lumens per watt. This breakthrough performance is achieved by combining the high efficacy and high-quality light of Cree TrueWhite® Technology with an integrated driver, enabling energy savings of up to 50 percent compared to incumbent CFL technology or 30 percent compared to competing LED products. Using only 11 watts of power, the new LR6-10L downlight is ideal for use in new or retrofit commercial applications.

Cree TrueWhite Technology delivers beautiful light and maintains color consistency over the rated lifetime of the product, all while maintaining high luminous efficacy – a true no-compromise solution.

The high-performance fixture is available in color temperatures to match existing installations of incandescent, halogen and fluorescent technologies (2700 K, 3000 K, 3500 K and 4000 K). Featuring a 10-year warranty and dimmable to five percent on a broad range of dimmers, the Cree® LR6-10L LED Downlight is also ENERGY STAR® qualified. The high standard of performance opens up opportunities for more incentives and rebates available from utilities and other entities – further lowering barriers to mass LED adoption.

Leviton Rolls Out New SmartlockPro® Outlet Branch Circuit AFCI Receptacle

Leviton today rolled out its new SmartlockPro® Outlet Branch Circuit (OBC) Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) Receptacle offering protection from arc- faults that may lead to electrical fires resulting from damage in branch circuit wiring as well as extensions to branches such as appliances and cord sets.

The SmartlockPro OBC AFCI Receptacle is designed to detect a wide range of arcing electrical faults to help reduce the likelihood of the electrical system being an ignition source of a fire. It functions by de-energizing the circuit downstream of the device upon which an arc-fault is detected to help prevent ignition and a resultant fire. AFCIs are now required by the National Electrical Code® (NEC) in many areas throughout the home; and in 2014 the NEC® will require that AFCI protection be added when replacing receptacles in locations where AFCI protection is required in new home construction. The OBC AFCI also provides an ideal solution for adding AFCI protection to older homes which are statistically more likely to experience electrical fires.

The SmartlockPro OBC AFCI Receptacle is Tamper-Resistant in compliance with the latest NEC requirements. The receptacle’s shutter mechanism is designed to block access to the contacts from most foreign objects for improved safety.

Engineered to detect and provide protection from both parallel and series arc-faults downstream and series arc-faults upstream from its location, the Leviton SmartlockPro OBC AFCI Receptacle features Leviton’s patented reset/lockout technology which automatically tests the AFCI every time the RESET button is pushed in. The AFCI will not reset if the AFCI circuit is not functioning properly. By blocking the AFCI from resetting if protection has been compromised, the SmartlockPro OBC AFCI Receptacle reduces the possibility of end-users incorrectly assuming that a reset AFCI is providing protection when it is not.

The device meets Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard 1699A (Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupters, Outlet Branch Circuit Type), the definitive standard for AFCIs and comes with a two-year limited product warranty. Available in White, Ivory, Light Almond, Gray, Black and Brown, the SmartlockPro OBC AFCI Receptacle is compatible with Leviton’s complete line of signature Decora® wiring devices and wallplates.

Leviton Introduces Super Duty Line of Power Packs

Leviton today announced the introduction of its new line of OPP20 Power Packs featuring the industry’s first true “fail safe” design, assuring circuit activation in power failure and emergency conditions. The four new super duty Power Pack models surpass NEMA 410 16 Amp ballast overload testing and have exceeded 1.5 million switching cycles at full load. They are ideal for a wide range of applications, including daylight harvesting, CA Title 24/ASHRAE 90.1 plug load control requirements, occupancy sensing control, and bi-level and manual switching applications.
The four new super duty Power Pack models offer a variety of application solutions including:

  • The OPP20-OD1 is ideal for use in basic auto-ON/auto-OFF applications. It features an Auto-ON occupancy sensor input.
  • The OPP20-OD2 is ideal for use in manual-ON/auto-OFF and auto-ON/auto-OFF applications with local switches. It features an exclusive self-detect local momentary or maintained switch input. Configurable for Auto-ON and Manual-ON occupancy sensor inputs, it is CA Title 24 Compliant and meets ASHRAE 90.1 Plug Load Control requirements.
  • The OPP20-RD3 is ideal for use in auto-ON/auto-OFF and photocell only room control applications. It features an Auto-ON occupancy sensor input and is photocell-ready (switching only).
  • The OPP20-RD4 is ideal for use in all the applications listed above, including the use of a photocell with a local switch and occupancy sensor. It features an exclusive self-detect local momentary or maintained switch input, is configurable for Auto-ON and Manual-ON occupancy sensor inputs and is photocell-ready (switching only). It is CA Title 24 Compliant and meets ASHRAE 90.1 Plug Load Control requirements.
Easy to install, the new Power Pack models feature versatile options for mounting and can be installed either inside or outside the fluorescent ballast cavity or junction box. The Power Packs comply with NEMA 410 requirements for electronic ballast current overload and UL/cUL 916 requirements for energy management. They feature output short protection and are factory-calibrated to the zero crossing point on the AC power curve to ensure maximum contactor life and compatibility with LED ballasts. RoHS Compliant, they are plenum-rated, meet UL 2043 standards and are backed by Leviton’s Limited Five-Year Warranty.

Broan-NuTone Offers Widest Breadth of Bathroom Ventilation Products

With the addition of Recessed Fans with LED Lights, Broan-NuTone®, now offers the widest array of bathroom fan/light models on the market.

“We were the first to offer a Recessed Fan/Light, and now we have four distinct offerings in this series,” says Patrick Nielsen, marketing manager, ventilation fans, Broan-NuTone.

The company unveiled its first recessed model featuring incandescent lighting in 2004. Over the years, Broan-NuTone, the leader in residential ventilation, has continued to introduce models with industry-leading features.

Year Model
2004 Recessed Fan/Light
2005 ENERGY STAR® qualified Recessed Fan/Light
2010 Humidity-sensing ENERGY STAR qualified Recessed Fan/Light
2013 LED ENERGY STAR qualified Recessed Fan/Light

The bulb in the Broan-NuTone LED recessed fan/light will last at least 25,000 hours, compared with compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, which last 3,000 to 15,000 hours, and incandescent bulbs, which last about 1,000 hours.

The other main advantage of LEDs is that, unlike CFLs, they don’t contain mercury. When a CFL breaks, homeowners are exposed to high levels of dangerous vaporizing mercury. Mercury can also be damaging to the environment if it ends up in landfills.

A further benefit of LEDs is their ability to offer greater dimming capabilities when paired with the right dimmer. LEDs also turn on instantly.

In addition to the LED Recessed Fan/Light, more than 75 BROAN and NuTone ENERGY STAR qualified ventilation fans that meet green building codes are designed, engineered, manufactured and customer supported in the U.S.
