Forum Acquisition by Current Offers Synergies

Elevate your design to the next level with

TriGain® technology and Forum architectural lighting.

O’Blaney Rinker Associates is enthusiastic about the acquisition of manufacturer-partner Forum Inc. by GE Current, a Daintree company. Forum Lighting’s 50-plus–year record of working with the design community to develop and manufacture spec-grade products is exceptional. Forum will continue as a vertically integrated, standalone entity and enjoy numerous advantages as part of Current.

Current’s TriGain phosphor technology presents just such a synergy. Current has invested significantly in the development of an efficient, narrow-band red phosphor. TriGain technology offers great color rendering across the spectrum, with vivid reds – at no cost to the light engine’s efficacy. The highly detailed TM30 color rendering tool shows TriGain’s optimized performance. Few light sources can meet the criteria in TM-30 Annex E, and TriGain technology does so with high efficacy. Retailers, specifically, will benefit. Packaging and merchandise catch the eye, thanks to colors that pop.

Combining TriGain with Forum’s high-performance luminaires also offers virtually limitless possibilities for offices, wellness service providers, transportation centers, and more. “Forum’s focus on providing high-quality linear solutions for architects, designers, and specifiers makes them the ideal partner to expand our lighting portfolio,” said Manish Bhandari, CEO, Current. “Forum’s values and customer-centric culture are well aligned with Current. Current will continue to invest in Forum to deliver new solutions, accelerating their growth.”

Get Creative with Custom Lighting from Camman

With over half a century of experience, Camman Lighting’s specialty has become their unique ability to customize and manufacture lighting to fit your needs. They are accustomed to and excel at building many different products. Most of their projects are either modified or engineered to order.

Supply some guidelines – the style you’re after, your performance and control requirements, and whatever other useful information you have — and let them do their thing. Their creative team will have something back in your hands quickly!

Following are highlights of some of the projects they have worked on.

Hospitality Lighting

Camman customized “g” ring style pendants for the expansion of Wigle Whiskey — an award-winning distillery in Pittsburgh, PA. Their standard Avalon Ring sizes were used with an attached modified illuminated cross-section to create “g.” Download Specs »

Camman Fayette Classic Schoolhouse Glass Pendants are the perfect lighting solution for the Polkadog Bakery in Boston! This opal pendant is available in four sizes along with your choice of lamping options. There is also a variety of standard finishes to choose from. And of course, custom sizes and finishes are available. Download Specs »

Classic, Timeless Lighting

Camman supplied 15 different fixture types which included customized interior pendants and chandeliers, surface mounts, exterior pendants and wall sconces for the award-winning Vanderbilt University E. Bronson Ingram Residential College in Nashville.

“Designing the E. Bronson Ingram Residential College in an architectural style that was popular roughly a century ago required microscopic attention to such things as selection of the steel windows, the mix of slate-colored ceramic roof tiles, and custom lighting fixtures. Even the most mundane details can betray a modern building that is masquerading as old,” writes Charles Linn of ARCHITECT Magazine.

Corporate Lighting

Camman customized acrylic hex frame pendants with colorful laminate overlays for the corporate office cafeteria of Coalfire, a computer security service in Westminster, CO. Download Specs > Other specs available on request

For a dramatic contemporary feel, Camman’s Mason matte white poly globes where chosen for this Pittsburgh area project using a variety of large sizes.
