We have added several videos to our YouTube channel HERE on wall washing and grazing techniques, cove lighting (featuring our PruCove and MicroCove) and our new BionicPro… stay tuned for more content.

We are Prudential Ltg. An American company. Still making everything right here in America. Like we have since 1955.

In times of crisis, times of change, times of not knowing what to think or expect next, we will continue to forge ahead. Because forward is the only direction we know. We will keep planning. Keep building. Keep focusing on the future. We’ll continue to stand by our convictions and support our people in every way possible. We’ve been family run for four generations. And our people out in the field and right here on the floor – they are an extension of that family. Today, we are where we are because they’ve made it possible. Not just as people who imagine, but people who make it happen.

Introducing distinctive patterns for our P4000 Sky Rounds & Quads. Precision laser cut and powder coated to match the fixture, these inlays add an extra flavor to our SkyOculus rounds and squares.

The lighting industry continues to seek inventive ways to make light more efficient and ultimately more appealing to vastly improve the user experience…

Inspiration can come from many places, and for lighting, it only makes sense that those seeking new revelation would turn to the sky. Consider the work of American artist James Turrell, globally renowned for his interpretation of light, space, and playfulness in terms of perceived reality. He fancies the sky his studio, material, and canvas—creating a trompe l’oeil effect where he figuratively “drops the bass” on depth perception. As Calvin Tomkins of the New Yorker once said, “His work is not about light or a record of light; it is light—the physical presence of light made manifest in sensory form.”

Captivated by this concept, fixture designers found a way to reinterpret what Turrell was doing in the art world in a way that was commercially applicable. Dubbed “veiled ambient” lighting, it’s a brilliantly minimalist breakthrough that enables light channels to visually recede into the ceiling, virtually disappearing. The illumination is present, but the source is barely perceptible. Jon Steele, GM of Prudential Lighting, pioneer of this emerging design, commented on the inspiration behind the concept. “We wondered if there was a way to pump light through channels that felt like daylight on a cloudy day, with no shadows or sense of source. We accomplished this through incredibly uniform indirect lighting with a ‘forever’ look that appears seamlessly integrated into the architecture.”

Searching for IES files and other specs is a time-suck. Free up a few minutes every day with SmartSpecs.
Download IES files, driver and emergency specs, BIM, LED Warranty and more directly
from SmartSpecs — no need to sort through IES folders or search for driver specs.
No need to even open your web browser. SmartSpec’s get you there in a snap.

 

90 CRI is now available for most of our LED luminaires.

Please utilize existing IES files with a .9 LLF multiplier for 3000K, 3500K and 4000K as noted on our spec sheets (10% light loss factor compared with our 80+CRI standard LEDs).

Luminaires not currently available 90 CRI include:
MicroWash, Olive, Quad & QuadFrame

(We’d call it brilliant if it didn’t sound so braggy.)

Add this one to the list of Prudential industry firsts. Our intelligent PDF spec sheets are now linked to the corresponding web files for fingersnap-quick access to the information you need. No more frustrating (and slow-as-molasses) digging, digging, digging through files in search of the one you want.

Now you can download the exact IES file you need directly from our super-smart spec sheets by clicking on the Lumen Output chart. Select the size, output and optic you want, and poof – it’s there. Like magic, without all the hats and rabbits – just straight-up instant information access. Sooo, what do you think you’ll do with all that extra free time?

Connect to the product page instantly by clicking on the product name at the top. Magically be transported to our home page by rubbing our logo three times (well once is actually enough). Download BIM files by clicking on the cross section drawing.  You get the idea.

And for our next act, we will size our content to fit your screen.

You shouldn’t be limited to your computer to navigate prulite.com. (That’s so 2002). Our responsive new site maximizes our content for the device you’re on at any given time. Plus, we’ve got interactive, intelligent spec sheets that ‘talk’ to our site, so you can connect to our web product pages instantly from our pdf spec sheets, or download specific IES files directly from our spec sheets without even accessing our site.

Our gorgeous new gallery pages are now viewable in all their glory from your phone, tablet or laptop – searchable by optic, fixture type or environment. And while our gallery is robust, there’s always room for more lighting genius.

We’d be thrilled to feature your projects (and get you some free press and the admiration of your peers while we’re at it). Send a few deets to marketing@prulite.com, and we’ll go from there.

2014 and 2015 were good years, no doubt. We received nine (count ‘em, NINE) 2014-15 Illumination Awards from the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) for a variety of forward-thinking new designs.

Awards included: MicroCove and MicroWash with a phenomenal combination of light distribution (optics) and industry-best efficiencies. Stream, a new approach to recessed linear with a hidden LED light source for an illusory effect reminiscent of James Turrell’s works of light. The awards keep rolling in for our Bionic and P40 Series with an array of optical wonders: Ceiling Wash, Batwing, Wall Wash and Wall Grazer. Mount these fixtures nearly any way you can imagine, linear, wall, surface, recessed or perimeter regressed, we encourage you to check out our room application comparisons.

We also won four Architectural SSL PIA Awards and Architectural Record’s exclusive Record Product of 2014 for Stream.

Feeling inspired? Us too. These recent industry accolades have propelled us into 2016 energized and intent on accomplishing even more.
