CLASSROOM LIGHTING SYSTEM
C3 Lighting has developed the first fully solid-state Innovative Classroom Solution™ that addresses lighting and acoustics, both necessary for improved learning.The color temperature and illumination levels of a classroom’s lighting can be adjusted by the teacher based on different classroom activities:
“Standard” for lecture and learning sessions
“Concentrate” for testing and reading
“Energy” for quick-starting the day and after lunch
“Relax” for calming classroom hyperactivity
“Lecture” for white-board presentations
“AV” for audio visual activity
Studies in Europe have shown the following results when using innovative classroom lighting technology:
• Increased reading speed of almost 35%
• Testing errors reduced by almost 45%
• Classroom hyperactivity reduced by 76%
System Features:
- Solid-state microprocessor controlled
- Push-button selectable color temperature, based on classroom activity
- Push-button selectable light level
- 24VDC high efficiency LED fixtures
- Remote Power Supply technology
- Remote Emergency Egress Lighting battery back-up
- Daylight-Harvesting sensor for energy savings
- Energy usage sensor
- After-hours occupancy alarm available
- Fixtures operate at 7 degrees above ambient temperature for HVAC energy savings
- Luminaires are available in the following sizes:
1’ X 2’, 1’ X 4’, 2’ X 2’, 2’ X 4’
- Available with Lumaphon™acoustic technology lenses

The balance of proper illumination levels and energy usage is always a consideration when lighting the
classroom. New research shows that not only are illumination levels important, but varying illumination
levels and color temperature of light - depending on the task or time of day - improves student
performance.
C3 Lighting’s Innovative Classroom Lighting SolutionTM provides variable illumination levels and color
temperatures. Energy consumption is extremely low, and our daylight-harvesting sensor saves even
more energy and maintains consistent, controlled light levels throughout the day.
Remote central battery systems provide emergency egress illumination.
Illumination is provided by the Classroom Diffused and Acoustic Luminaires that work in combination
with RPG Diffusor Systems, Inc. “Sound Diffusion Acoustic System”.
Greatly increased speech intelligibility is achieved when its signal to noise ratio is high. Increasing the
signal is now possible by applying Acoustic Diffused Luminaires in a specific area of the ceiling, to
provide early sound reflection, thereby increasing the level of speech. The reverberation time can also
be reduced by using acoustical ceiling tile around the perimeter of the room.

The Helius Power Distribution Module will
output 6, 12, 18 or 24 Class 2, 24VDC circuits
depending on the wattage and the design of
the system. The outputs connect directly to
the LED fixtures. Class 2 power can be run
with two conductor cable and no metal
conduit for most commercial installations.
The Pyxis dimming module or DMX controller
connects to the Power Distribution Module via Cat
5e cable. Occupancy and Daylight Harvesting
sensors can be connected directly to the wall
controls. No additional wiring between the Helius
and the luminaire is required for dimming. Dimming
from 100% to 0% can be achieved.

C3's Luminess Suspended Classroom Fixture offers features
never before found in the classroom. Available in down-lighting
only or a combination of down-lighting and up-lighting,
providing an unlimited number of illumination patterns. Both
directions of illumination can be independently dimmed. This
fixture is also available with C3’s Advanced Lighting Presets that
have been shown to improve student performance.
As with all C3 illuminators, Remote Power and Control is a standard feature, removing drivers from the fixture and allowing Class 2
wiring that does not require metal conduit. This technology eliminates the possibility of fire or electrocution related to the lighting
system. Powerful ION™ Light Engines provide high levels of illumination along with color control. The fixture can be suspended with
cables or rods providing an attractive and contemporary look. White powder coat is the standard finish and for an additional charge
custom colors may be specified.

Luminess Acoustic Diffused Luminaires are both evolutionary and
revolutionary in industry style, format, and function. An “acoustic ceiling”
used to mean heavy absorptive mineral or fiberglass, blocking only
mid-range sound. Luminess acoustic Lighting is acoustically and optimally
sized and shaped in light weight material. It scientifically and uniformly
diffuses high-mid sound, controls reverberation and optimizes low
frequency absorption.

Luminess LED White Board Fixtures are high power
LED lights that are used for classroom white board
illumination. Available in a variety of sizes,
Luminess White Board Fixtures consist of an array
of ION™ Solid-State Light Engines mounted in
specialized housings, pre-wired and configured to
meet Class 2 electrical safety requirements. These
fixtures enable designers, architects, manufacturers, integrators and lighting professionals to illuminate white boards or other
classroom wall areas. The scope and diversity of uses for the fixture, combined with it's inherently safe low voltage design, energy
efficiency, eco-friendliness, shallow profile and perfectly even illumination make it ideal for integration with other C3 Lighting
Advanced Classroom Fixtures to maximize classroom illumination.
