Legrand® Highlights Effortless Control of Natural Light with Leading-Edge Commercial Shading Solutions

PHILADELPHIA, May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL – Legrand, North & Central America provides the widest range of solutions that enable control of natural and artificial light. As part of its expansion in commercial shading solutions, Legrand introduces Solarfective roller shades and cassette systems and full software integration with the Wattstopper architectural dimming platform at LIGHTFAIR International 2017 in Booth # 1841.

Solarfective products are designed with features that make the installation phase easier, faster, and safer. Shading systems can be customized for unique shapes, oversized skylights, and large format printing, and can be delivered to the job site pre-assembled. The combination of a wide selection of shade offerings and leading-edge technologies make Solarfective systems easy to specify.

On display are:

• Solarfective Teleshades^® offer a single-unit shade system available in single or dual, and manual or motorized roller shades. Teleshades cut down on installation time and labor requirements with a compression bracket system and unique counterbalance spring clutch system. These features reduce blocking and bring added flexibility, with easy replacement of the clutch/chain without having to remove them from the bracket. Teleshades combine style and performance for glare control, occupant comfort, and increased energy efficiency.

The patent-pending shade system also allows for fingertip raising action, making it easy to raise or lower the shade with two fingers instead of heavy pulling or tugging. Solarfective motorized shades can be wired to allow for individual control or group control with a push of a button.

• Solarfective Televent^® uses the shade pocket to draw warm or cool air over the window into the ceiling plenum, increasing the efficiency of the mechanical system. Using this patent-pending system reduces build-out costs as there is no need for a drywall/metal pocket.

In addition, Solarfective shade systems can be fully integrated with the Wattstopper architectural dimming platform via Design Center software. Programming and commissioning can be done quickly and easily, providing greater efficiency and time savings to projects. The architectural dimming platform includes the Lighting Control and Automation Panel (LCAP) series, and a range of unique user interfaces to meet precise dimming, occupant experience, and energy savings objectives.

"We are excited to showcase the Solarfective system for the first time at LIGHTFAIR. These commercial shading solutions are the easiest to use and install – and when integrated with the architectural dimming platform, deliver robust control to bundled lighting and shade systems," said Nick Meloni, Product Marketing Manager for Solarfective at Legrand, North America.
