Power management company Eaton today announced the introduction of Portfolio 2-inch, square and round aperture, LED downlights for new construction and retrofit installations. Offered in four beam distributions with excellent light control and low aperture brightness for glare-free illumination, the family’s large selection of standard features and options includes Eaton’s award-winning Dim-to-Warm (D2W^™) technology and the WaveLinx and LumaWatt Pro connected lighting systems.

“Our first architectural 2-inch family provides customers a small aperture, energy-efficient and high-performing downlighting and wall washing solution for hospitality, retail, institutional, healthcare and commercial office environments,” said Glenn Siegel, director, marketing and product management, Eaton’s Lighting Division. “Our Portfolio product line now offers 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-inch LED solutions and adding our advanced D2W technology and our connected lighting solutions, we’re providing our customers a full spectrum of solutions to help them meet their specific needs.”

Dimming LED products reduces the light output but doesn’t change the color as it does when dimming standard incandescent sources. The D2W technology is designed to perform comparably to popular halogen sources, providing clean, crisp light at full power of 3000 Kelvin (K) and dimming smoothly to 1850K, which creates a rich, warm glow, resembling candlelight.

Customers have numerous choices when selecting from the Portfolio 2-inch family to satisfy specific application needs, including:

·   A choice of 500, 1000, 1500 or 2000 lumens packages.

·   Light beam distributions offered in 15-, 25-, 40- or 55 degrees.

·   An unprecedented choice of six color temperatures including 2400K, 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K.

·   An impressive offering of 80, 90 or 97 color rendering Index (CRI) options.

·   An emergency battery back-up option.

The product line features a round housing that accepts both the square or round trims. The trims feature high quality die cast construction and satisfy both downlight and wall wash needs.

The option to include Eaton’s WaveLinx wireless system provides a simple to install, wireless, code-compliant and cost effective connected lighting system that allows building managers to easily adjust settings through a mobile app with no need to go back into the wall – even after the project has finished. The option to include Eaton’s LumaWatt Pro wireless connected lighting system helps customers maximized potential energy savings by incorporating the Portfolio 2-inch fixtures in a distributed network of smart LED lighting fixtures with wireless sensing capabilities that capture real-time data on lighting energy performance, space utilization, real time location services and building system integration.

The Portfolio 2-inch solutions are ENERGY STAR^® certified.
