Architectural Area Lighting's Largent LED Luminaire

A "post top luminaire," to use industry jargon for a light fixture that sits atop a light post, the Largent LED contains "MicroEmitter" technology that's part of an upgradeable "EmitterDeck" — an array of 20 individually replaceable modules that let you precisely control light output via solid-state LEDs and advanced reflector dynamics. That's just a fancy way of saying it uses very bright, energy-efficient diodes that you can individually adjust to distribute light with exactness and without glare or hot spots.

AAL is an Energy Star Partner, and the company says all photometry tests for its Designer SSL Series (which includes both the contemporary Largent, above, and the Providence and Universe models here at left, top to bottom) were performed by an independent third-party, Department of Energy-approved photometric laboratory under IES LM-79-08 standards, referring to the Illuminating Engineering Society's testing standard for measuring the luminence of LED light sources. Its luminaires use only IES-LM-80 compliant LED components.

What does all this mean? That you can reduce energy use while beautifying your co-op or condo grounds or streets, and that you now know what a "luminaire" is.
