Kenall’s EnviroPro Series exceeds relevant industry standards and regulations as established by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), and the Underwriters Laboratory (UL).

Designed with a focus on the stringent lighting requirements and performance criteria required for these environments with sharp attention to critical listings.  To ensure that the luminaires are able to endure frequent hosedown and remain contaminant-free, all Kenall EnviroPro luminaires are tested to UL standards and carry relevant Wet Location, Ingress Protection (IP65), and NSF2 listings.  Additional considerations for lighting the food processing environment include: cleanability, lighting uniformity, using lamp sources with high Color Rendering Index (CRI), and ease of installation and maintenance.

The EnviroPro family includes the Low Bay, Cylindrical, Top Access, and TekDek Series. These fixtures augment Kenall’s existing food processing product offering, which includes the Overlapping Door, Extended Flange, Sealed Downlight, and Linear Fluorescent Series. With options that include hi-powered LED lamp sources, Hazardous Location ratings, motion sensing controls, and plenum access, Kenall’s feature-rich EnviroPro line exceeds even the most rigorous standards established by the food processing industry.

Kenall’s new EnviroPro Series delivers properly placed task lighting via durable fixtures that are easily cleaned and maintained – a winning combination in the highly regulated food processing environment.

Kenall's TekDek(TM) luminaire and SmartSense(TM) control system has been recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Progress Committee as providing advancements  in the art of science of lighting.

TekDek is a lensed LED lumnaire specifically designed for parking garages, providing an efficacious, efficient and sustainable energy source. It has been designed for use with SmartSense, a lighting conrol system that intelligently monitors and adjusts to both motion and daylight to optimize cost and energy savings.

The IES review committee of lighting designers, engineers, and manufacturers recognized TekDek specifically for its ability to bring a higher quality of illumination to garage spaces through minimized glare, higher vertical illumination and uplight in comparison to other LED products currently on the market.

The Kenall TekDek™ series has been designed to reduce hazardous glare and light trespass, while providing desirable vertical illumination, visual comfort and uplight. Additionally, TekDek with SmartSense™ control provides an accelerated return on investment with a possible payback of less than two years, or better with utility rebates and federal tax incentives.

The TekDek luminaires utilize a lensed design with unique, patent pending heat sink technology to keep the LED drivers and components cool, extending component life. TekDek’s highly desirable uplighting component eliminates the problematic ‘cave effect’ visible in many of today’s parking garages. TekDek is available in seven different optical distribution patterns, providing a wide range of photometric options. Also available in any of nine different LED engines with three different LED color temperature and three different power ratings for each, TekDek is capable of delivering up to 9084 lumens at 82 lumens per watt.  

Kenall’s revolutionary new SmartSense control system combines the intelligent use of daylight and occupancy sensing, enabling light levels within the garage to dim down to 50% or greater during unoccupied periods and/or in response to adequate ambient daylight.

Lighting for parking garage applications contain significant challenges. Proper light levels for pedestrian safety and vehicular traffic, energy usage and the potential for daylighting cultivation must all be taken into account for new construction or retrofit installations. A new animated video has been produced, featuring Kenall's new TekDek™ line of luminaires for parking environments.

Benefits of the new TekDek luminaires with SmartSense control include:

• Can reduce energy costs by up to 70% and provide a payback in less than 14 months
• Long-life LED system can provide up to 18 years at 24-hour operation
• 7 optical distribution options to reduce light-trespass
• Textured lens reduces glare and eliminates the “cave-effect”
• Sealed and gasketed to prevent insect and dirt infiltration – IP65 Rated
• System complies with CA Title 24 energy codes and the newly implemented Parking Garage statutes in ASHRAE
