We started out comparing the Alure 4 from a*light vs. the Lumentube from Lumenpulse. Both products did the job, so but we preferred the slimmer profile of the Lumentube so we went with that. We’re now trying to engineer some cost out of the project so it looks like we’re back to the a*light, which is a fine product.

I’m not familiar with Waldman but I would think that any fixture you find would require customization to integrate into the stack furniture system.

Interesting stuff. I am doing a similar project, although the one I’m working on is a retrofit: we’re working on a law school library and slowly making changes to lighting and such to create a low energy solution. I was wondering if you could tell me which fixtures you chose to use in lighting the stacks. In my project, right now we’re leaning towards using a Waldmann Mach LED with a simple custom mounting, but I was hoping to find a sufficient off-the-shelf product. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Next week I’m going to meet a guy who claims to dim T5 flicker free from 0 to 100 with an Electrical ballast.
