More Speed, Less Expense
Amerlux Provides ‘Value’ for Design-Build Firms
Read about Amerlux’s “Value Line” below or download the PDF here
When Amerlux opened its doors in 1984, the renowned design-and-manufacture lighting company soon became the market leader for supermarket LED lighting.
And then, the company—built on made-to-measure products—created more innovative solutions for boutique retail, commercial and exterior lighting segments.
But today, Amerlux is casting itself in a different light.
In addition to high-quality, elegant, customizable solutions, the company is bringing
its award-winning portfolio of innovative LED products to the design-build construction industry.
After listening to their customers, Amerlux developed its Value Line in collaboration with design-build firms to deliver a selection of products packaged specifically for time-crunched contractors.
Value Line products come in standard sizes and are delivered at your jobsite in just 3-10 days.
The Value Line
Comprising 10 interior and exterior products, Amerlux’s Value Line includes linear lighting, down lights, track lighting, street lights and step lights.
The Value Line portfolio delivers the same spec-grade engineering and high-end aesthetics that built Amerlux’s brand, but in standard sizes and at a lower price point than the made-to-measure products in Amerlux’s Quality Line.
Value Line products come with blazing fast delivery—and they can be on your jobsite in 3-10 days to quickly advance any new construction or retrofit project.
Elevate your designs today with Amerlux’s family of architectural-grade lighting products.
I. Interior products
Linear lighting: Quick-Line Linea 1.5″
Designed specifically to address the challenges design-build contractors and architects encounter with linear lighting, Quick-Line offers rapid delivery, value pricing and spec-grad quality in a single off-the-shelf package.
Quick-Line Linea 1.5″ is an architectural-grade linear pendant fixture with direct and indirect light distribution options. Featuring clean and minimalist styling, it features a 1.5″ aperture and comes with a high-performance lens.
Here’s how Quick-Line makes your life easier:
Effortless installation
Link it, latch it, cap it and done!
It really is that straightforward. Sold in standard-sized, middle-of-run segments, Quick-Line pieces link together with simple latches and alignment pins assure the runs stay straight. When you finish the run, the final step is to put end caps on either end.
With Quick-Line, you never have to open the fixture for any part of the installation. Quick-Line ships with the lenses and LED boards installed and all fixtures are pre-wired with either 6- or 9-wire harnesses, so there is no need for jobsite assembly. There’s an easy electrical coupler at the end of every section, so connecting controls and power is effortless.
Spec-grade materials
Quick-Line is a specification-grade fixture constructed from extruded aluminum instead of steel. This quality ensures architecturally straight lines of light. It’s common for steel luminaires to bend at the joints, but Quick-Line’s lightweight aluminum build and strong alignment pins prevent this potential issue. Thus, you save time since you can take “straighten bent fixtures” off your punch list.
No light leaks
Light leaks in lensed fixtures are nearly inevitable due to the lens shrinking. Quick-Line anticipates this problem and comes with a solution in the box: There are patent pending light block shields at each joint and on the end caps. These shields are spring-loaded and apply a slight amount of pressure on the lens, automatically filling the space created when the lens shrinks.
Standard sizing and competitive pricing
Quick-Line is spec-grade for commodity prices. Offered in standard sizes only (four feet, six feet and eight feet), this linear lighting solution has the same high level of engineering backed into its design, as all Amerlux’s other spec-grade products do. There’s no need to sacrifice quality for cost with Quick-Line.
Simple order process
The ease of the order process matches the ease of installation: count the number of standard lengths (4′, 6′ or 8′) sections, add power supply feeds and suspension points, finish with end cap kit (one per run) and choose the 6- or 9- wire option. Quick-Line ships in 72 hours, so you can layout your design on Monday, give it to the contractor on Tuesday and have the product at the jobsite on Friday.

II. Exterior products
Pedestrian Lighting — Avista (Retrofit or New Fixture Post Tops)
Avista is an advanced LED light engine for retrofitting post-top luminaires. It is also the flagship light engine for many of Amerlux’s exterior luminaires. Unique, with a completely sealed LED optical chamber, Avista offers cutting-edge optics and extraordinary output. Simple to install with adjustable height levels, Avista allows you to position the light where you want it for maximum performance. A super-efficient, economical energy-saver, Avista takes exterior LED lighting to the next level.
Retrofit in just 15 minutes
Retrofitting to Avista couldn’t be any easier with an almost tool-less installation process that takes just 15 minutes. Such quick install times provide reduced labor costs, in addition to the substantial savings the energy-efficient LED will provide.
Optimal street light
Avista is designed to deliver beautiful light with great color rendering and clarity. Avista’s light element is shaped like a horizontal disc, rather than a sphere like most light bulbs, so the light goes straight down to the ground and isn’t flung into the sky as wasted wattage and light pollution.
Maintain current aesthetics by retrofitting
Avista saves you money and allows you to maintain your current aesthetics by keeping existing light poles and fixtures and only replacing the light source inside the fixture. This is especially important in cases involving historic areas with vintage light fixtures and poles in use.
Enjoy huge power and maintenance savings
Avista delivers enormous energy and maintenance savings. When Los Angeles upgraded to Avista light engines, the city cut power usage by 60 percent. Additionally, Avista was built to provide 50,000 – 100,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, meaning a maintenance crew should need to repair Avista LEDs for a minimum of 10 years (assuming the light is used for 12 hours a day). This affords substantial maintenance savings on top of the energy savings.
Eligible for federal monies
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 includes $13 billion worth of tax credits for companies to improve energy efficiency and additional $4.5 billion for federal agencies to do the same. Avista meets the new 4.0 standards of the DesignLights Consortium (DLC), which also qualifies the product for rebates to shorten the ROI payback period.
Reduces crime and accident rates
Avista LEDs offer outstanding light quality, which not only makes people feel safe, it illuminates the streets and sidewalks better, making them safer.
A recent study by the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab and New York City found that LED lighting cut nighttime index crimes by 39 percent. The report included serious offenses like murder, robbery, aggravated assault, as well as various property crimes.
Based on the crime reductions, the research team estimated the lighting upgrades increased the economic value of the communities by $700,000 each. These estimates do not include energy and maintenance savings, or the long-term effects of crime abatement on a community’s economic vitality. Considering only the crime reduction benefits and not any energy savings, the researchers projected the lighting upgrades would be cost-effective in a mere six years.
