Mark Architectural Lighting, a brand within the Acuity Brands Lighting and Controls portfolio, releases MAGELLAN™, a new family of large-format, architectural, circular luminaires. The Magellan family includes pendants, ceiling-surface, and recessed ceiling luminaires, as well as surface and recessed wall-mounted solutions. Pendant luminaires range in size from 18” to 48” and offer direct, indirect, direct/indirect, and sound absorption solutions, depending on mounting style. Surface and recessed luminaires for wall and ceiling applications range in size from 12 to 72-inches and offer direct illumination and sound absorption solutions.

Atlanta, GA, June 20, 2023 - MARK Architectural Lighting, an established leader in architectural lighting solutions, today releases MAGELLAN™, a new family of large-format, architectural, circular luminaires. Delivering a clean, modern style across a variety of sizes and configurations, Magellan luminaires offer a wide variety of features and aesthetics that provide visual comfort in architectural spaces.

The Magellan family has evolved to include pendants, ceiling-surface, and recessed ceiling luminaires, as well as surface and recessed wall-mounted solutions. These new luminaires are designed to be impeccably clean with no seams or visual disruptions in their circular form. The result is an elegant drum-style luminaire that appears to be carved from one solid form.

Magellan is designed with a focus on delivering the highest quality of lighting performance. Offering from 600 to 48,500 lumens, Magellan can provide soft illumination for an intimate setting or fill large volumes from high above, making it one of the most powerful and versatile indoor architectural luminaires offered today.

Featuring nLight® and nLight AIR control options, Magellan luminaires are simple to specify, design, install, and set up. Unlock network capabilities such as firmware updates, advanced scheduling, remote programming, and BACnet® integration with nLight enabled luminaires. Optional eldoLED® proprietary driver technology creates seamless transitions for flicker-safe deep-dimming, provides consistent color while dimming, and further facilitates embedded lighting control schemes.

Innovation continues into the lens design, which is offered in two distinct visual styles: flush and edge view. The flush lens is fully captured by the integral frame of the luminaire and sits flush with the direct surface plane. Flush lenses are available in flat or convex designs, offering a variety of fully luminous aesthetic options. Alternatively, Magellan offers an edge view lens that floats just below the frame of the luminaire and creates a luminous plane with a visible lit edge. The edge view lens is available in flat, convex, or concave forms, offering exciting new looks.

Magellan is the first luminaire from MARK Architectural Lighting to offer a sound reducing acoustic solution on the direct plane of the luminaire. Available in 19 colors, the sound absorbing material provides a noise reduction coefficient rating of 0.45 - 0.9 and consists of 1/2" thick polyester felt that is 100% recyclable. The material is Red List Free.

The elegant simplicity of the Magellan luminaire combined with the variety of mounting locations, sizes, lenses, and best-in-class performance brings you the flexibility and utility you have come to expect from MARK Architectural Lighting, all in a well-designed, efficient, and reliable platform.

nLight® is pleased to announce that the nLight® AIR Wireless EM Solution is the proud recipient of LEDs Magazine’s 2023 BrightStar Award! The EM Solution is the first lighting solution using wireless technology to ensure that emergency lighting is deployed within 10 seconds of building power loss. A panel of industry experts in design, manufacturing, and market development judged BrightStar entries based on performance, reliability, efficiency, ease of integration/use, and innovation.

The nLight AIR EM solution is designed for projects with external emergency power sources, such as generators or inverters, and delivers a lower cost of install than traditional solutions by eliminating dedicated wiring used to sense normal power. Instead of requiring additional wiring, nLight AIR devices connected to normal power wirelessly communicate with EM devices to advise when normal power is available.

ATLANTA, MAY 23 – nLight announced today that it was awarded a LEDs Magazine 2023 BrightStar Award for Product Innovation for their nLight® AIR Wireless EM Solution. This solution is designed for projects with external emergency power sources, such as generators or inverters, and delivers a lower cost of installation than traditional solutions by eliminating the dedicated wiring used to sense normal power.

UL 924 requires that a building’s emergency lighting components actively monitor normal power to ensure that emergency lighting is deployed within 10 seconds of power loss. In the past, this activity has typically required wiring from the emergency control device to a normal power circuit. The nLight AIR EM solution eliminates the need for the dedicated wiring typically used to sense normal power and is the first-time wireless technology has been leveraged to meet this code requirement.

nLight AIR devices connected to normal power wirelessly communicate with EM devices to advise when normal power is available – not only simplifying design but also lowering installation costs by as much as 40%. A variety of nLight AIR devices include the built-in feature to sense the availability of normal power.

The nLight AIR EM solution also includes software intelligence enabling users to decide which devices communicate normal power as well as a convenient test feature in the CLAIRITY+ mobile app that simulates normal power being lost and reduces the need to access critical areas to cycle breakers.

“We are honored to be recognized by industry experts for our nLight AIR Wireless EM Solution," said Mark Lane, Director of Product Management, nLight. “The inclusion in the BrightStar Awards Program helps showcase nLight’s advancements in our controls innovations and reflects our ability to continuously provide solutions that deliver more value to our customers in a variety of applications.”

The BrightStar Awards recognize ingenuity in commercial components, materials, tools, controls, and finished products for LED-based applications. Categories include indoor/outdoor illumination, horticultural lighting, connected lighting, circadian and disinfection lighting, and specialty applications.
