A-Light Luminaire Included in IES Progress Report 2023

Oceanside, CA, August 5, 2023 – A-Light (www.alights.com), an established best-in-class manufacturer of specification-grade interior lighting solutions, is pleased to announce its Lean sustainable luminaire has been selected for inclusion in the 2023 IES Progress Report, an annual publication recognizing significant contributions to the global lighting industry.

Published by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), a collegial community dedicated to improving the lighting environment, the IES Progress Committee's mission is to track significant new advancements in the art and science of lighting worldwide and prepare a yearly report of achievements for the Society. Acceptance in the Progress Report is based on an impartial judging process by the Committee, which evaluates each submission on its uniqueness, innovation, and significance to the lighting industry.

Lean is a 2’ x 2’ patent-pending acoustic lay-in luminaire that becomes part of an architectural ceiling tile while increasing sound absorption across ceiling planes. An indirect distribution delivers a soft, even illumination that reduces glare and shadows. Designers can use the multi-functional fixture to turn project tiles into dynamic designs in applications such as office spaces.

Sustainability is at the forefront of Lean’s design. Shipping with only three collapsible components, Lean is 80% lighter than a typical 2’ x 2’ fixture. It is estimated that the overall shipping impact is reduced by as much as 88%. Lean is also Declare label listed, which enhances transparency and simplifies material tracking.

This year’s report was released at the IES Annual Conference in Chicagoland where Lean was shown during the progress report presentation. The luminaire was also on display in the IES booth. All winning entries will also be included in an upcoming issue of LD+A Magazine.
