Ultra-Efficient Wall Pack With Power & CCT Tunable Options

GKOLED — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 09:30:12 +0000

A staple of the lighting professional’s toolkit, the wall pack is a popular fixture used for exterior security lighting in commercial applications. Though the traditional non-cutoff wall pack tends to be the go-to fixture for many projects, many local ordinances have restrictions that limit the amount of spillover light allowed, which requires the lighting contractor to use a wall pack with a full cutoff design instead. With our new Series GKOWPG15 wall pack, we offer a stylish, low-profile alternative that perfectly fits in with the aesthetics of more modern buildings. And, with a fantastic efficacy of over 140 lm/W, the energy savings add up fast.

Key Features

Available in Fixed Power & CCT wattages of 26W, 38W, 65W, 100W, 135W
Available in Tunable Power & CCT wattages of 65W & 100W
Standard CCT of 5000K, available in 4000K and 3000K
Standard 120-277V voltage, 65W & 100W available with 347-480V
Standard 0-10V Dimming Controls
High efficacy of up to 153 lm/W
Hassle-free 5-year warranty

Available in 5 wattages and 3 CCT options, this versatile light also comes with Power & CCT Adjustment Controls on select wattages. This allows the lighting professional to avoid having to keep track of a range of fixed wattage and CCT fixtures in different configurations in more complex installations. Additionally, an optional 120-277V button photocell can add dusk-to-dawn functionality to the fixtures for additional energy savings, and an optional emergency battery backup can provide up to 90 minutes of emergency operation in the case of a power outage.

The Benefits Of Selectable Power & CCT In LED Lighting

GKOLED — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 03:15:47 +0000

At the cutting edge of lighting technology, LED lighting is constantly being upgraded with new innovations, to improve the experience of the people who use it in their life and their work. One exciting new development in commercial LED lighting is adjustable Power & CCT, which offers lighting professionals and end customers even more control over the output of their lights. To ensure that we provide our customers with the most up-to-date LED lighting options, we have begun to include popular fixtures with Power & CCT selection capabilities in our product lineup, with plans on adding more in the future.

How does the Power & CCT selection feature work in our products? Adjustable CCT is achieved by incorporating a mix of 3000K and 5000K LED chips inside the light. To arrive at the specific CCT selected by the lighting professional, the light output of the different color LED chips is adjusted to 100%, 50%, or 0%. Fixtures with adjustable power capabilities have a switch or a dial that controls the strength of the current sent to all the LED chips, which affects their overall brightness. Together, these features allow precise control over the light output of the fixture, to achieve the exact level and color of light the customer requires for their facility.

Choosing Power & CCT selectable fixtures has significant benefits for both distributors and lighting professionals. For a distributor, it can be challenging to predict which power and CCT options will be in demand at any given time. It is possible that a light with a specific power and CCT configuration doesn’t sell well, and just ends up taking up shelf space. Stocking Power & CCT selectable fixtures ensures that one product can fulfill a wide range of project requirements, which means one Power & CCT selectable fixture can replace several fixed power and CCT fixtures on the shelf. This allows the distributor to keep track of fewer products, saving time, money, and labor. Stocking Power & CCT selectable lights also simplifies the work of the sales team, minimizing the range of product configurations they have to be familiar with.

For lighting professionals, selecting LED lighting for a project is a precise art, requiring that many different aspects of a setting be taken into consideration. However, even with the most careful planning, it can be difficult to predict how a specific light will work in an environment. It is much easier to choose the precise lighting for a space when the CCT and wattage can be tweaked on site, and much simpler to adjust the light output if the customer isn’t satisfied with the lighting after the completion of the project. Additionally, for extensive projects requiring different light outputs for different areas in a facility, it is much easier to keep track of one Power & CCT selectable fixture and adjust the CCT and wattage based on the light’s location, as opposed to having to remember the exact installation location for a number of fixtures with different fixed power and CCT.

We currently offer several products with adjustable Power & CCT controls and will be bringing more on board this year.

GKOLED Series GKOPL Power & CCT Tunable LED Panels feature a convenient switch on the fixture housing that allows the contractor to adjust the wattage and CCT during installation. Available in popular sizes of 2×2 and 2×4 and certified DLC Premium, these fixtures are ideal for commercial environments with recessed or suspended grid ceilings. Fixed wattage and CCT Emergency-Ready models are also available.

The new GKOLED Series GKOWPG14 Non-Cutoff Wall Pack features Power & CCT Adjustment Controls that are standard on every fixture and are safely located behind a threaded knockout in the housing. This premium quality wall pack is available with a glass or polycarbonate lens and is equipped with a quick mount bracket that eliminated the need to open the fixture during installation. Optional photocells, motion sensors, and emergency battery backups are available for this fixture.

Finally, our Series GKOHB05 Circular High Bay features a Wattage Adjustment Dial that allows the contractor to lower the wattage of the light from 340W to 300W or from 250W to 200W. This powerful, efficient high bay is ideal for illuminating large commercial spaces with tall ceilings, and is available with an optional integrated, center-mounted motion sensor.

Warehouse & Industrial Lighting – Which Light Do You Need?

GKOLED — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 09:30:42 +0000

Though there are many options available on the lighting market, LED lighting is uniquely suited for effective illumination of warehouses and industrial facilities. Because lighting such a large commercial space requires a lot of fixtures, using energy-efficient LED lights adds up to a large reduction in energy bills, and the reliability and long life of LED technology ensures additional savings from lower maintenance costs. For your convenience, GKOLED stocks all the lighting you will need for your warehouse or industrial lighting project, so that you can get all the high-quality lighting you require in one place. Below, we break down the types of fixtures we carry, as well as their optimal use in your project.

Warehouses and Industrial Settings With High Ceilings

Linear High Bays

With a high lumen output of up to 50,500 lumens, these powerful, economic fixtures produce an even distribution of light in a long, narrow pattern. This makes them ideal for illumination of aisles with tall shelving, as they will produce uniform lighting across the entire height of the shelves, improving visibility for increased safety and productivity. Additionally, their elongated light output often makes Linear High Bays the more practical lighting solution for long workbenches or production lines. When looking for a one-to-one replacement of existing fixtures, Linear High Bays are designed to replace T5 or T8 fluorescent linear lights. Because of their wider beam angle, they are also ideally suited to installations where more spacing between fixtures is required. We currently offer two series of Linear High Bays – the series GKOMLH and the newer series GKOMLHG4.

Circular High Bays

Because they generally have higher lumen output and a uniform beam spread, Circular High Bays tend to be the preferred lighting option for large open spaces with mounting heights of 35’ and over. Additionally, as they only need to be hung from one point, Circular High Bays will generally be simpler and faster to install than Linear High Bays, saving on installation costs. Circular High Bays are designed to be a one-to-one replacement for metal halide, HID, and HPS fixtures. Most Circular High Bays are designed for an IP 65 rating, and are the better choice for environments that are subject to moisture and environmental contaminants. We offer four series of Circular High Bays, each uniquely designed for a different purpose: series GKOHB02, series GKOHB04, series GKOHB05, and series GKOHB06.

Warehouses and Industrial Settings With Low Ceilings

Canopy Lights

Also sometimes referred to as Low Bay Lights, these low-profile, inconspicuous fixtures may be used for open indoor spaces with ceiling heights under 15’. These versatile indoor/outdoor lights may also be used to illuminate walkways and loading docks. Our canopy lights are available in the series GKOCP03 circular model and the series GKOCP05 square model.

Linear Fixtures

Designed as a one to one replacement for traditional fluorescent linear fixtures, the elongated light pattern of Linear Fixtures makes them ideal for illuminating long, narrow spaces such as aisles or workbenches. Our series GKOLFG2 4’ Linear Fixtures may be used one at a time, or connected together to produce a larger 8’ fixture using the optional Row Connector Bracket, extending the light coverage even further.

Industrial Settings Exposed to Moisture Or Environmental Contaminants

Vapor Tight Linear Light

An enclosed fixture with an IP 65 rating, the series GKOVTG3 Vapor Tight Linear light is the rugged, durable lighting solution for industrial and manufacturing settings with exposure to dust, water, and humidity. It is ideal for settings that must undergo frequent cleaning, such as food preparation facilities, as the fixture may be safely hosed down with no adverse effects. Its ability to withstand cold temperatures also makes it a popular choice for illuminating cold storage.

Warehouse And Industrial Exterior Areas

Wall Packs

Designed to be installed on a building exterior to ensure pedestrian safety, these durable lights provide commercial buildings with perimeter or security lighting. Our wall packs are available in the traditional non-cutoff series GKOWP08 model and full cutoff series GKOWPG2 and series GKOWP10 models, for optimal control over light output in regulated areas.

Area Lights

Commonly mounted on poles, these powerful outdoor fixtures ensure vehicle and pedestrian safety by providing uniform illumination for commercial parking lots. We offer three series of Area Lights, series GKOAL01/02 and series GKOALG6, which use premium components for optimal performance, and series GKOAL04, which use modern components for a low-profile housing. A wide range of mounting options, brackets, and adaptors are available, to suit varied installation requirements.

Why Photocells are important for your Commercial LED Lighting project

GKOLED — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 10:30:33 +0000

GKOLED’s Roadway Lights, Area Lights, Flood Lights, Wall Packs and Dusk to Dawn Lights can help provide additional security and require reliable dusk to dawn operation. These Commercial LED Lights need to reliably turn on when it gets dark, to ensure safety, and turn off when it gets light, to conserve energy. While it is possible to accomplish this by setting light fixtures on a timer, this solution does not account for the natural changes in daylight that occur in inclement weather. Additionally, as we will experience on November 3rd, a timer will not automatically adjust itself for Daylight Saving Time. A much more effective solution is to install a photocell, which will read the amount of ambient light and turn the fixture on or off accordingly.

To provide the dusk to dawn functionality required by many energy reduction and security lighting LED projects, GKOLED offers photocells for the majority of our Commercial Outdoor LED Lighting fixtures, some as an optional add-on and others included by default. To make this convenient for you we can pre-install the photocells at our Chicago facility by request. However, you may choose to install them yourself as our photocells are set to automatically turn a fixture on at 10-20 Lux and off at 60-80 Lux and do not require complicated programming or setup.

We carry two types of photocells for use with GKOLED’s Commercial LED Lights. Twist Lock Photocells are available in 120-277V, 348V, and 480V, accommodating different electrical requirements, and are attached to the exterior of a fixture for simple service and maintenance. Button Photocells are available in a standard voltage of 120-277V, and are installed inside the fixture with only the sensor exposed, resulting in a low profile. As always, for a Risk-Free Trial of any of our Commercial and Residential LED Lighting fixtures, contact us at 516-670-6888 so we can help you determine what LED light would be the best solution for you.
