Leviton Manufacturing announced it is
the first company in the electrical industry
to offer tamper-resistant surge protective
receptacles that comply with NEC Section
406.11 and UL 1449’s 3rd Edition.

that accept only a two-prong (with or
without ground pin) electrical plug, while
also providing built-in surge protection for
a facility’s sensitive electronics.
Available in commercial/industrial and
hospital grade versions in 15 Amp and 20
Amp, 125 Volt rating, the devices offer a
wide variety of color choices that help users
identify different types of connected equipment
and applications. Hospital Grade devices feature tight plug
tolerances to reduce the possibility of critical
care equipment becoming accidentally
disconnected.
Commercial/industrial grade versions
withstand abuse in harsh environments.
An industry-exclusive, the new devices are
NAFTA-compliant and are ideal for use
in a wide range of commercial, industrial,
institutional and government facilities.

Cooper Lighting has added a new line of
ENERGY STAR® 4-inch compact fluorescent
(CFL) downlights to its Halo recessed
downlight family.
A popular choice for both residential and
light commercial spaces, the small aperture
energy-efficient line includes both 13-watt
and 18-watt models available in both new
construction and remodel housings.
A design complement to the 5-inch and
larger 6-inch recessed CFL downlights,
the 4-inch aperture size is commonly
used for accent, task and perimeter area
lighting. The 4-inch CFL downlight housings
are designed for insulated ceilings (ICrated)
and can be in direct contact with
ceiling insulation. These AIR-TITE™
housings prevent airflow between attic
and living areas and save on both heating
and air conditioning costs. The electronic
compact fluorescent ballast meets stringent
ENERGY STAR® requirements including
FCC Title 47 CFR part 18 for consumer
equipment.

RAB Lighting has introduced the LPACK,
an innovative, affordable and functional
LED wallpack.
The unique design has been specifically
engineered for LED and not adapted from
existing fixture designs. Available in both
warm and cool light, the LPACK has a
high-output, 10 watt LED light engine that
delivers 70% of its initial lumens at 50,000
hours. The LED Light Engine life is maximized
with a thick, die-cast housing and a
heat-sink mounting pad that dissipates heat
away from the critical LED components.
Additionally, the anodized reflector pushes
usable light downward and makes the
LPACK compliant with IESNA full-cutoff,
fully shielded standards.

Thomas & Betts announced that the
OCAL-BLUEP®P Form 8 PVC-coated
cast-iron conduit body now carries the UL
Type 4X and NEMA Type 4X ratings on
sizes up to two inches.
These ratings assure conduit protection
and corrosion-resistant performance in
wash-down areas as well as harsh outdoor
environments exposed to moisture, rain,
ice and snow. The UL Type 4X rating seal
is achieved by simply finger-tightening the
encapsulated stainless steel cover screws to
15 in.-lbs. of torque. This compares to 35
in.-lbs. or more of torque required to tighten
cover screws on competitors’ conduit bodies.
