TerraLUX Wins 2012 Product Innovation Award from Architectural SSL magazine

TerraLUX Inc. announced today that the company has been honored with a Product Innovation Award (PIA) from Architectural SSL magazine for its revolutionary Line Voltage Linear Module.

Unlike most LED lighting solutions in the past, the TerraLUX Line Voltage Linear Module requires no separate LED Driver or extra hardware. All you need to install the unit is three wire nuts and a screwdriver. And, retrofitting many fixtures with the Line Voltage Linear Module will not change its UL listing, making post-installation inspections a breeze.

Additionally, the Line Voltage Linear Module is designed with a Smart Thermal Design and patented LEDSense Thermal Foldback circuitry that will lower power if the LEDs are running too hot. The Line Voltage Linear Module is suited for indoor and outdoor installations in wall sconces, recessed step lights and wall lights, ceiling surface mounted fixtures, outdoor wall packs and any other sealed fixtures.

The Architectural SSL PIAs recognize innovative LED and solid-state luminaires and fixtures on the market, while also spotlighting the players behind the components that make up these light sources. With judging and evaluation of products and systems from a distinguished panel of 24 designers and lighting specialists skilled in product evaluation, the SSL PIA program awards manufacturers based on attributes, qualities, functionality and/or performance beyond industry standards.

"Being recognized by Architectural SSL magazine with a Product Innovation Award is a great honor for TerraLUX," said Erik Milz, VP of Marketing. "Our Line Voltage Linear Module is changing the face of the LED marketplace, making it easier than ever for hotels, schools and other institutions to replace outdated incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LEDs while cutting costs and eliminating the need to purchase new fixtures."
