Energos provides a comprehensive, easy-to-install linear pendant fluorescent lighting system. It responds to lighting professionals’ demand for a more cost-effective way to deliver outstanding lighting that consumes a minimum amount of energy without sacrificing aesthetics or performance. Energos is designed to be a highly efficient bi-directional system that assures visual comfort with minimal energy consumption. The optional Energos Control System of built-in occupancy sensors is “Plug and Play” and performs immediately after the fixtures are installed without commissioning. To fine-tune the lighting performance, Energos offers over 100 high performance lamp and ballast configurations to achieve ideal lighting without wasted power. Lamps and ballasts are installed and tested prior to shipping to insure the designer’s intention makes it to the installation. Energos is a bi-directional system offered in two distinct housing styles, each about 2.25” deep. Series 1 is softly curved, while Series 2 offers a square-edged profile. Both are available with a parabolic louver or a unique duplex lens, which supports three different optics and multiple lamping options. Energos can also be configured with dual switching, a range of emergency battery packs, several different dimming ballasts, and Lightolier’s iGEN technology.
