Applications and Usage

1.  What are the advantages of using LED lighting products like Lunera’s?  LED fixtures offer the potential for energy savings, extended lifetime, cooler operation, ease of control, and, as in the case of Lunera Lighting products, enhanced beauty over fluorescent fixtures.

2.  Can Lunera lighting fixtures replace fluorescent fixtures in commercial lighting applications?  Yes. Lunera fixtures are an intelligent, simple-to-install replacement for standard 2’ by 4’ fluorescent fixtures. Their unique distribution and comparable light output allows them to offer significant energy and maintenance savings in an aesthetically pleasing package.

3.  Do Lunera fixtures come in different color temperatures?  Yes, Lunera fixtures come in a variety of color temperatures from warm to cool white depending on your personal preference and application.

4.  Can Lunera fixtures be installed end to end?  Yes, Lunera’s thin, infinity edge allows placement of fixtures end to end to provide the appearance of long, seamless runs.

5.  Do Lunera fixtures require special wiring like other LED fixtures?  Not at all. Lunera fixtures take no special wiring, which makes them the ideal solution for retrofit installations. Just take your old inefficient fixtures out and replace with a Lunera fixture. For more information on installing Lunera fixtures, go to My Lunera.

6.  I’ve read that Lunera fixtures dim readily without compromising performance or lifetime. Do they take special, expensive dimmers and supplemental wiring in order to do this?  No. Unlike other LED fixtures, Lunera fixtures work in line with inexpensive, garden-variety dimmers. No special wiring is needed. No special programming of remote controls that you need to learn. Just replace your incandescent or fluorescent fixtures with Lunera products, and you are ready to go.

7.  Are Lunera’s fixtures appropriate for use in the energy-conscious home?  Absolutely. Lunera fixtures do not suffer the ill effects of frequent switching and overheating like compact fluorescent lamps. Energy savings, low maintenance, beautiful, soft, warm, dimmable light: why would you choose anything else?

8.  Do Lunera fixtures work with different voltages?  Lunera fixtures run on 85-277V electrical systems. This makes Lunera the easy answer for everything from residential applications (110V) to office lighting (277V). Lunera fixtures also work with different world-wide frequencies (50-60Hz).

9.  How often do I have to worry about maintaining Lunera fixtures?  Lunera fixtures are thermally and optically designed to last over 20 years in most applications. Imagine forgetting what it is like to change a light bulb.

Environmental Impact

10.  What kind of energy savings can Lunera fixtures provide?  You can realize up to 50% energy savings over fluorescent lighting. Additional savings can be realized through the seamless integration of Lunera fixtures with occupational and ambient light sensors making Lunera the perfect answer for LEED projects. Our fixtures run cooler than fluorescent fixtures, which reduces the demand on air conditioning during peak summer hours.

11.  Do Lunera fixtures use any mercury or lead or hazardous substances?  No. Lunera fixtures use no hazardous substances in their manufacturing.

12.  Do Lunera fixtures draw power when they are in the off-state?  No. Unlike other LED fixtures, Lunera fixtures draw no “vampire” load.

13.  How else does Lunera help the environment?  We use all recycled packaging materials, and we distribute electronic files whenever possible. Go to My Lunera to see how else we help the environment.
