Leading LED streetlight manufacturer Evluma announces a new 2200K color temperature option for the popular LED screw-in lamp OmniMax. Designed for use in nearly any style of decorative streetlight, acorn, post top or pendant, OmniMax is now available in a total of six different color temperatures with three CCT below 3000K.
“We began building 2200K CCT OmniMax as a custom order item,” stated Evluma’s Marketing Director Cathleen Shattuck. “We’ve seen an increase in demand for a wider range of warm CCT decorative streetlights. We are happy to be releasing 2200K as a standard option.” The 2200K model falls in between the 2000K and 2700K models offering greater CCT refinement for architectural lighting designers and municipal lighting specifiers.
“More robust and more compact than the corn-cob style light specifiers are accustomed to seeing on the market, the OmniMax combines a novel radial light engine with Bluetooth connectivity to create a dimmable, diffuse light source designed to use the prismatic optics of existing fixtures as they were designed,” said Shattuck. A four-layered thermal management strategy supports long life in enclosed fixtures. OmniMax carries a 10-year warranty, 20kV-10KA surge protection and is offered in both 40W and 70W configurations. Select OmniMax models are qualified by the DLC.
Last month Evluma released OminiMax Lighting Solutions (OLS) a line of curated globes to support municipalities, utilities, universities and corporate campuses as they upgrade existing post top, acorn and globe style decorative streetlights to LED.

G&W Electric, a global supplier of electric power equipment since 1905, today announced the launch of its Viper®-HV Recloser up to 72.5kV. The market’s first high-voltage pole top recloser supports faster overcurrent protection through fault isolation and automatic restoration for temporary faults on overhead sub-transmission lines.
“As we’ve seen recently, the fragile state of our nation’s electrical infrastructure has severe consequences to our safety and economy,” said John Mueller, chairman and owner of G&W Electric. “We are committed to partnering with utilities to identify vulnerabilities and deliver state-of-the-art solutions like the Viper-HV recloser for functionality right on the sub-transmission lines. Until today, that was only available by installing high-cost substations.”
Uniquely designed as a self-contained system featuring three-in-one capabilities of a recloser, CTs, and integrated internal voltage sensors, the Viper-HV provides utilities improved performance on a pole to automatically clear any temporary faults and isolate only that section of the grid to protect additional lines from going down and preventing an entire region from losing power.
The Viper-HV offers utilities installation flexibility through a variety of configurations, including phase-over-phase and cross-arm versions to match existing line infrastructure. G&W Electric offers site-ready designs with pre-installed accessories and flexible solutions tailored to meet environmental challenges.
“In an effort to develop the grid of the future, the Viper-HV recloser also offers solutions that will help utilities reduce future cost such as maintenance, replacing equipment and outage penalties,” added Mueller.
Without the need for oil or gas, the Viper-HV reduces routine maintenance and improves personnel safety. Additionally, the vacuum interrupter and all other energized parts are sealed within field proven solid-dielectric insulation, providing optimum operator safety and additional protection to discourage wildlife interference.
