Solais LCV Lucie Recognized in 2024 IES Progress Report


Solais®, a leader in innovative lighting solutions, proudly announces that its LCV Lucie Wireless controls-ready trackhead has been accepted for inclusion in the prestigious 2024 IES Progress Report. This accolade from the IES Progress Committee underscores the LCV’s contributions to the art and science of lighting.

The Progress Report, presented at the IES Annual Conference on August 17, 2024, features an elite few product from hundreds of submissions, highlighting those that demonstrate significant advancements. Solais’ LCV stands out as the market’s first ‘agnostic’ trackhead, offering universal compatibility with leading systems such as Lutron® Athena, Leviton® Intellect™, WattStopper®, and Casambi Technologies® Bluetooth mesh networks.

Unlike existing wireless control trackheads, which are confined by dedicated antennae and onboard drivers, the LCV is designed for plug-and-play compatibility, making controls easily interchangeable. This facilitates seamless digital wireless communication for each light fixture, offering unparalleled flexibility to lighting designers seeking versatility in their projects, meeting the evolving needs of lighting professionals and architects.

Equipped with an integrated DALI-2 driver, the LCV Lucie provides static white, tunable white, and dim-to-warm options, ensuring superior beam control and performance. This technological leap is set up to support future asset management, positioning the LCV as a pivotal tool for reducing energy consumption while updating the aesthetic of modern spaces.

The inclusion of Solais’ LCV Lucie in the IES Progress Report will be further detailed in the November 2024 issue of LD+A Magazine and may be featured at local IES Section meetings throughout the coming year.

Solais Lighting continues to set the standard in lighting innovation, offering solutions that combine reliability, longevity, and exceptional performance. Discover how the LCV Lucie can transform your lighting projects and deliver unparalleled results.
