High Light Series Answers Consumer Demands for Energy Efficient LEDs
2009-03-10

Madera, California - TEKA Illumination has released the new High Light Series luminaires, now available with BKSSL™ Technology and other exclusive options.

We combined the timeless beauty of copper, brass, and stainless steel materials along with our exclusive BKSSL™ technology to create a classically styled family of functional, energy efficient, sustainable pathlights and wall sconces to give birth to The High Light Series from TEKA Illumination.

In addition to our company website, we are introducing High Lights on their own dedicated product website at www.highlightseries.com. This fully interactive site is online right now.

The High Light Series features both wall and pathlight luminaires in four distinctive styles, Classic, Bali, Moor and Safari for use in interior and/or exterior applications.

The High Light Path (HLP) is specially designed for mounting high above mature plantings. Only a soft glow ring from the acrylic lens is visible above 90°. The lens is factory sealed to a pure copper shade, which is then secured by stainless steel hardware to a solid brass machined base. Copper stems integrate with brass connectors for a timeless look. These enduring metals are naturally corrosion resistant and will weather over time, achieving a breathtaking natural patina. Factory applied finishes are also available.

The High Light Wall (HLW) is a wall-mounted version of our popular 4" diameter pathlight, featuring a distinctive sconce design with a diffuse accent ring. Heavy copper integrates with solid brass connectors and a 5" diameter copper canopy that mounts to a 4" octagonal junction box.

In addition to low voltage Xelogen, High Lights feature BKSSL™ technology to delivery high efficacy, long life, and low energy lighting solutions. Our exclusive, 1.1 watt, side emitting, solid state source with a 360° distribution and integral driver is only available in products equipped with BKSSL™ technology. For more details visit our dedicated website at www.highlightseries.com.

Over the years, natural TEKA luminaires will patina and change in the environment. With our new Clear Coat Protection, it is possible to retain the natural beauty of freshly blasted raw copper, brass and bronze. The clear coating process allows the lustrous and vibrant characteristics of these enduring metals to last indefinitely. Retaining a timeless beauty of TEKA luminaires is now a viable option with clear coating.

Expanded mounting accessories for the pathlight luminaires are clearly outlined in the new High Light Series catalog. In addition to standard TEKA mounting options, we are offering B-K Lighting accessories such as Power Pipe™ with an integral transformer.
Remote and Integral Transformer Housing options such as Universal Power Module™ and Power Pipe™ and TR transformers to complete the design process.
