Do you offer "green" lighting options?

Yes, we have recently introduced several energy efficient options to our line of ceiling lights. We have LED versions of the 1383 incandescent and GBF halogen lamps for the low voltage Nylite systems. The 1383 LED offer 2 watts of consumption versus 20 watts, are brighter and are longer life. The LED version of the 20 watt GBF is also brighter but consumes 6 watts instead of the 20 or 35 of the halogen version. We also have a tuffskin coated compact fluorescent lamp for the 120 volt lighting systems. It is an 11 watt lamp replacing a 40 watt incandescent.

How are your 120 volt fixtures different from everyone elses?
Yes, we have introduced a revolutionary new lighting system for 120 volt service.
Each fixture includes a line cord and plug and a receptacle, so fixtures can be
plugged in one to another. This CSA/UL labeled product saves dramatically on
labor costs for wiring. The 120 volt fixtures are available in round black, chrome,
and white; square black and brushed stainless.

How can I get more light in my elevator?
There are several methods to get more light in the elevator. Presently, the easiest way is to swap out the old 1383 or halogen lamps with brighter LEDs using the existing base. Alternatively, going from a 1383 type to a halogen lamp requires either an adapter or a new socket. And going from 20 watt halogen to 35 watt halogen requires an additional power supply. For 120 volt systems, the standard 50 watt incandescent can be replaced with a 75 watt lamp.

Do you have halogen systems for low voltage lighting?
Yes, we carry halogen systems using 20 and 35 watt lamps.

Where can I get replacement light bulbs?
We sell replacement light bulbs for all our lighting systems. Since most service contracts do not include lights, we have agreed to sell light bulbs directly to end users.

What trim colors are available?
Nylube low voltage lighting is available with trim rings in the following finishes: Black Threaded (standard), Black polished, Gold threaded and unthreaded, Chrome threaded and unthreaded, Clear threaded and unthreaded, and Champagne unthreaded.

Why do I need tuffskin coated lamps?
The version of the elevator code adopted in most of the United States requires lamps to be protected. Protection can be accomplished in two ways. The first is by using tuffskin coated lamps. This protective coating means no glass will fall in case of breakage. This is the safest and least expensive option. The alternative is to use protective screens, which require threaded trim rings.
