September 17, 2013

Sentry Electric, one of North America’s most experienced and knowledgeable manufacturers of outdoor luminaires, proudly announces that the SDAS-LED Downtown luminaire has been selected for inclusion in the 2013 IES Progress Report. The Progress Report recognizes products, publications and design tools that significantly contribute to the art and science of lighting.

With its symmetrical proportions and gently arching crown, the Downtown luminaire provides contemporary inspiration for boulevards and public spaces while its innovative optical design delivers the many benefits associated with solid state lighting technology. Most significant is the Downtown luminaire’s unique combination of refractive borosilicate glass optics and LED modules.  A truly groundbreaking advance in the evolution of solid state technology, the luminaire’s optical system delivers over 9300 lumens with an exceptional efficacy of 93 lumens per watt.

The Downtown luminaire is ruggedly constructed of cast aluminum and utilizes high gloss Super Durable polyester powder coat paint. Combined with borosilicate glass lenses and built in surge protection, the luminaire’s durability and reliability are unsurpassed.
