MORE LIGHT. GREATER EFFICIENCY.
SAME TRUSTED PERFORMANCE.
U.S. Architectural Lighting Significantly Boosts Performance Across the Razar, Linear EXT and ValuLume Families.
U.S. Architectural Lighting, a U.S. Outdoor Lighting brand, has announced a major performance upgrade to three of its flagship area, site and roadway lighting families: Razar (RZR), Linear EXT (LXT) and ValuLume (VLL), bringing substantially higher lumen output, greater efficacy, expanded controls compatibility and new architectural finishes, while preserving the proven optical performance and durability that have made these luminaires specification favorites for years. The enhancements are driven by the newly upgraded PLED® optical module engineered to extract even more performance from these established luminaire families.
The result is a 17% increase in lumen output across the product line. ValuLume now delivers up to 52,000 lumens, while Razar and Linear EXT are now capable of producing up to 78,000 lumens with efficacies reaching 200 lumens per watt. These improvements enable lighting designers to illuminate larger spaces with fewer fixtures and poles, lowering installation costs while reducing long term energy consumption.
Smarter Controls. Greater Flexibility.
The upgraded luminaires are now available with optional DALI D4i drivers and Zhaga Book 18 receptacles as factory available options, making integration with today’s smart city easier than ever. These additions complement our company’s commitment to controls interoperability, allowing customers to specify virtually any major OEM lighting control system
New Premium Architectural Finishes
In addition to enhanced performance, our luminaires are now available in several new premium powder coat finishes designed to complement today’s architectural environments: Silver/Grey/Copper Vein, Graphite, and Flat Black Fine Texture.
These finishes join U.S. Architectural Lighting’s extensive finish offering while providing architects and designers with even more aesthetic flexibility.
The First Step in a Broader Performance Evolution
The upgraded Razar, Linear EXT and ValuLume families represent the first phase of a broader product enhancement initiative. Over the coming months, the newly enhanced PLED® optical module will be introduced across additional U.S. Architectural Lighting and Sun Valley Lighting luminaire families, extending these same performance gains, including higher lumen output, improved efficacy, expanded controls, and enhanced optical performance, to even more specification grade products.
With significantly more light, greater efficiency, smarter controls, and the same trusted optical platform, the newly upgraded Razar, Linear EXT and ValuLume luminaires establish a new performance benchmark for architectural site and area lighting while preserving the quality, flexibility, and reliability customers have relied on for years.
