Explore retrofit solutions
Traditional lighting is a drain on resources. Use retrofit kits to easily update your existing lighting to LED and see up to 60% energy savings and up to 50% maintenance savings*. Retrofit kits offer easy installation and give you the look, feel and performance of a full fixture replacement at a fraction of the cost. Since retrofit kits fit directly into your existing luminaires, there is no need to open the ceiling, making energy savings attainable even in historic higher education buildings. Pair with wireless lighting controls to maximize energy savings.

¹ Refer to product specification sheets at acuitybrands.com/UV-Products for efficacy claims and claim substantiation regarding specific products and pathogens.
*All references to “disinfection” are referring generally to reduction of bioburden and are not intended to refer to any specific definition of the term as may be used for other purposes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The disinfection technology as incorporated in Acuity Brands products is not intended for use in the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease and is not certified or approved for use as or for the disinfection of medical devices by the FDA. Bioburden reduction is a function of fixture run time, distance to the UV light source, air flow, room size, shadow areas and/or other factors, and the level of reduction will vary within a specific space.

Give peace of mind to students and staff in higher education spaces with UV technology. Traditional mechanical chemical cleaning leaves room for human error and can be time consuming. Use UV lighting as a disinfection* aid in the air and on surfaces in both occupied and unoccupied spaces to inactivate pathogens¹ and contribute to a worry-free learning environment.

Eureka acoustic lighting solutions >
A-light acoustic lighting solutions >
Many higher education spaces such as libraries, lecture halls, and student centers are subject to unwelcome ambient noise. Acoustic lighting solutions are designed to minimize this ambient noise while also providing proper illumination. Choose sound absorbing luminaires that combine high performance optics, superior quality, and advanced acoustic materials to meet the needs of these spaces. Make an impact with 30 color options including striking hues and contemporary neutral tones.

Find products with low UGR >
Consideration of Unified Glare Rating (UGR) as part of the product selection and application design process can assist in minimizing the undesirable effects of glare and provide improved lighting quality to the students and staff in higher education spaces. Easily find LED Lighting with low UGR using filters and icons and calculate UGR in your lighting design using available tools.

Learn more about nLight AIR Autonomous Bridging Technology >
From dealing with an entire campus to historic buildings with stone walls, wireless lighting controls are no longer an issue. nLight® Air Autonomous Bridging Technology addresses range and responsiveness factors associated with wireless networked lighting controls. nLight AIR Autonomous Bridging Technology ”bridges” new groups of devices to the system controller by using devices that are already connected to it. This indirect connection allows nLight AIR networks to grow larger, and because of the long-range broadcasts, information exchanges are incredibly fast.
Wireless controls - Communicate farther, faster
Discover the nLight Snapshot Controller >
Use the nLight® networked lighting control solution across the entire campus, even in spaces with RGB lighting. The nLight Snapshot Controller leverages the power of nLight with DMX512 control from Pathway Connectivity solutions® to easily enable bi-directional communication between DMX and nLight for a simple and unified solution.
Bring your space to life with DMX

As of May 6th, 2022, a UL 924 change is effective that obsoletes many industry-standard emergency solutions. This update requires emergency lighting control devices to be provided with an input signal indicating the presence of normal power. The nLight® AIR EM emergency solution (EM) meets this requirement wirelessly.
Is your project ready for UL 924 standards?
Learn more about STAR >
Additionally, records of these tests must be maintained for inspection by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (“AHJ”), such as the local fire marshal. With the STAR mobile application and STAR-enabled emergency lighting products, meeting these emergency lighting requirements is simpler than ever!
STAR-enabled emergency lighting equipment automatically conducts the brief monthly tests and full 90-minute annual tests, as required by code.
