Acuity hits 2000-lm output in LED-based PAR38 retrofit lamp

Acuity Brands has expanded its Acculamp family of LED replacement lamps with 25W 2000-lm PAR38 lamps that are capable of replacing 150W halogen lamps. The company also added 400-lm MR16 lamps to the specification-grade solid-state lighting (SSL) line that is intended for the professional market. The new PAR38 lamps fill out a PAR38 offering that also includes 20W 900-lm and 20W 1200-lm LED bulbs. Acuity offers all of the lamps in a choice of 2700K or 4000K CCTs, and 25° or 45° beam patterns. For now the 2000-lm lamps come in a CRI of 80, although the company has added higher CRI versions of the prior lamps, so the same progression could happen in the 2000-lm grouping.
