RAB Design Lighting Wins New Product Competition at MCEE 2015

Rab Lighting

RAB Design Lighting received the 2015MCEE Award in the “Exterior Lighting” category for its DVAKS LED 14W energy efficient vapourproof fixture. The design enables retrofitting of the existing incandescent vapourproof utility fixture with its LED version in under 10 minutes.

This DVAKS LED series of fixtures comprises LEDs that can be ceiling- mounted, wall mounted and pendant mounted. The incandescent assembly, consisting of the guard, glass, socket assembly and incandescent bulb, can be easily removed and replaced with the DVAKS LED series fixture.

“It’s an honour to be recognized at such a prestigious show in our industry. In a fiercely competitive market that is saturated with hundreds of lighting companies, breaking through the clutter is a significant challenge,” said Irwin Beron, President of RAB Design Lighting. “By listening to our customers and designing product features that truly matter to them, we believe the DVAKS LED Series has resonated in the market.”

The DVAKS LED series fixture can be installed using a wide range of glass and guard accessories. It is the only fixture in the market where a low profile polycarbonate lens can be replaced with a globe and guard. Rated IP65, these fixtures are robust with a precision die cast aluminum housing and can operate in temperatures ranging between -40̊C to +40̊C. This robust construction and wide range of options creates commercial opportunities in industrial and architectural applications such as entrances, stairwells, man-doors, outdoor walkways, tunnels and service areas among several other applications.
