Luminaire LED, an established leader in vandal-resistant lighting products, today announced its Vandal Resistant Downlight (VRDL) series has received a 2024 BrightStar Award from LEDs Magazine.
VRDL luminaires are rated IK10 after testing for impact resistance and rated IP66 for resistance against water and dust to perform under the toughest conditions and most determined abuse. This combined rating enables VRDL to withstand vandalism in demanding locations such as transport and transit hubs, and parks and recreation facilities.
The BrightStar Awards is a competitive program to celebrate and recognize innovative products of the past year that demonstrate advances in LED lighting technology with flexible features, improved performance and ease of use, enhanced control capabilities, and steps toward greater sustainability in the lighting community. An esteemed and experienced panel of judges evaluates entries on five key factors: performance, reliability, efficiency, ease of integration/use, and innovation. The VRDL series was recognized in the Indoor SSL category.
VRDL luminaires are designed to be architectural and maintain an IP66 rating against water and dust after passing the IK10 test, allowing them to perform under the toughest conditions and most determined abuse. This combined rating enables VRDL to withstand vandalism in demanding locations such as transport and transit hubs, and parks and recreation facilities.
The series is also intended to comply with behavioral health environments and correctional facility requirements. VRDL luminaires are designed (patent pending) to be ligature resistant and feature anti- tamper hardware and a ¼ inch polycarbonate lens. Certified NSF2, VRDL luminaires have been evaluated for corrosion resistance and cleanability, as well as the ability of its exposed material to withstand everyday wear.
