IES Progress Report Selections

The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) presented the 2024 IES Progress Report on Saturday, August 17, 2024 during the IES 24 – Lighting Conference.

The IES Progress Committee follows the developments in the art and science of lighting throughout the world and prepares a yearly report of achievements for the Society. We are extremely pleased to see several of our manufacturers’ products on the IES Progress Report and are proud to work alongside companies that aim to create products that are of significance to the lighting industry. 

See a list below of the 2024 IES Progress Report inclusions:

2024 IES Progress Report Selection: A-Light Lino.

A-Light Lino is available in 2.16” and 3” apertures, and the small profile housing and no visible hardware ensure that the fixture subtly integrates into a variety of interior and exterior environments. With an IP66 rating, Lino luminaires are particularly well-suited for outdoor applications with harsher weather conditions. Designers can mix and match from numerous suspended or surface mountings to maintain a consistent design aesthetic. Sustainability is a key element of the design, including fixtures that contain 60% recycled aluminum extrusions. Lino luminaires are enabled with the nLight® network control system. 

2024 IES Progress Report Selection: Gotham IVO.

Gotham IVO Shallow Recessed Downlight addresses spatial limitations, fitting into spaces as shallow as 2 inches, while delivering exceptional performance. Boasting up to 3000 lumens from a 4-inch aperture and up to 5000 lumens from a 6-inch aperture and delivers up to 120 lumens per watt. Perfect colour consistency is achieved with a 0.5 MacAdam ellipse from fixture to fixture. Proprietary optics coupled with an advanced light engine and Bounding Ray™ Optical Design delivers a true uniformed, batwing distribution for smooth illumination and a comfortable experience for occupants in the space.

2024 IES Progress Report Selection: Hydrel Tierra.

Hydrel Tierra offers higher delivered lumens, more colour temperatures, and more options than the average ingrade – in a compact design. With only 4.4″ and 6.38″ diameters, the Tierra series is an ingrade that combines impact and corrosion-resistant materials, optimal beam control and superior performance. Tierra incorporates innovative sealing capabilities, superior materials, and long-lasting finishes, promising decades of use with minimal maintenance.

IOTA ILD Series Emergency Driver is a UL Listed LED emergency driver that allows the same LED fixture to be used for both normal and emergency operation. In the event of a power failure, the ILD 10 switches power from the normal AC Driver and operates the fixture for 90 minutes in the emergency mode from the unit’s battery supply.

Juno 2″ Canless Wafer Downlight has an innovative, slim design that installs quickly and easily into as little as 3″ of plenum allowing for it to fit into ceiling spaces where most traditional recessed housings do not. No housing required to install.

2024 IES Progress Report Selection: Lithonia Frame.

Lithona FRAME by Lithonia Lighting offers a modern, upscale aesthetic with functionality and performance to match. At the heart of the FRAME design is the ‘snap’ together assembly which provides unrivaled value in shipping, storage and installation costs.

Lumenture T40 sets new standards for powerful output from a small form-factor. This track cylinder’s compact and low-profile modern design makes it ideal for small-scale applications. T40 is available in both round and square configurations, maximizing your design freedom. Both product shapes have a threaded accessory holder, and are compatible with snoots and added lens accessories. Mini track adapters are available to fit one-circuit tracks of most major track manufacturers.

Lumascape Kololux K6 and K8 projectors—two architectural-grade lighting solutions designed to meet the most demanding challenges of modern lighting design. It provides 360° rotation of elliptical beams, offering unparalleled flexibility in lighting design. Whether you need vertical or horizontal illumination, these projectors can handle even the most complex architectural features. Designed to minimize glare and provide soft, comfortable illumination without compromising on brightness.

2024 IES Progress Report Selection: WE-EF AFL100.

WE-EF AFL100 is a new generation of luminaires that is geared towards sustainability and offers its users connectivity and future-proofing. WE-EF offers two sizes: the AFL120 and the AFL130, which already cover many areas of application with luminous fluxes of up to 16000 lumens. Another option is the WE-EF-developed “Wild-Light” technology; which allows the AFL100-WL to switch between two color temperatures via sensor or timer control, making it suitable for use in wildlife sensitive areas where consideration for flora and fauna is required.

Kenall SimpleSeal CSSGI is suitable for ISO 5-8 cleanroom spaces. With recessed grid installation, this fixture comes in two size options: 2×2 and 2×4. Edge-lit LED light engine for minimal luminaire intrusion into the plenum space.

Kenall MedMaster BHRT has a 24″ round shape that provides a differentiated aesthetic to behavioural health lighting applications. Full backlit LED array and high diffusion lens provides uniformly-lit appearance. Continuous lens retention and tamper-resistant fasteners for ligature prevention. Standard IP64 and NSF2 rating. Suitable for recessed drywall/hard ceilings with minimal plenum ingress.

Zaniboni Omni QT is a trimless sensing system autonomously perceiving natural daylight, noise level and air quality while adapting to desired levels of light, sound, temperature, and oxygen levels based on human preference and presence in a space. It is the first evidence-based product that, though the use of various sensors, lighting, speakers, and hardware for HVAC and sprinkles, improves productivity and well-being of occupants by a minimum of 18%.

Zaniboni Mini RXW offers heightened brightness and remarkable uniformity with the asymmetric 1-inch aperture wallwasher as it effectively lights up vertical surfaces with increased lumen output for an enhanced illumination experience.

Zaniboni Mini TX miniature light is a small-aperture fixture ideal as marker or accent light in wood ceilings. It can be installed as a downlight or wall mounted. Its construction makes it ideal for indoor pinhole applications.
